Hi, I have a KDE system on the testing branch with a discrete NVIDIA GPU. An HDMI cable is connected from the HDMI output of the GPU to an HDMI input of a TV. The system does not output sound over the HDMI output of the GPU. How can I get the system to output sound over the HDMI output of the GPU ? Thanks.
