I’m having two issues with my sound, one is the default is always wrong. I see multiple answers to that question, I’m only mentioning it here in case it is relevant to my actual problem.
On the rare (re)boot sound works just fine after I select the HDM1 monitor (the default is some unused Analog port after a (re)boot or the screen saver activates. This is with XFCE4 if that matters).
The rest of the time the HDM1 VU meter is moving like it thinks everything is working. Alas only silence is coming from the HDM1 monitor.
Everything should be up to date package wise (just updated before posting this message).
Should I really have three sound servers running?
Not sure how that happened.

My hardware. The sound is from HDM1.
