I have older Samsung TV connected with HDMI, to my laptop. The screen works quite well, but the sound does not transmit. May somebody help with what to install please? Thank you
System Settings > Audio
Check for selecting the output there.
(something like changing profile to “Built-in Audio” or similar)
Please post more information about audio devices detected in PulseAudio/PipeWire

I have checked the system settings, - Audio… no solution there
Active Profile is set to use analog outputs (laptop speakers and headphone jack)
Profile must be changed to use a profile that includes output:hdmi-stereo to play to Samsung display monitor speakers
hdmi-output-0: HDMI / DisplayPort (type: HDMI, priority: 5900, latency offset: 0 usec, available) Properties: device.icon_name = “video-display” device.product.name = “SAMSUNG” Part of profile(s): output:hdmi-stereo, output:hdmi-stereo+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround, output:hdmi-surround+input:analog-stereo, output:hdmi-surround71, output:hdmi-surround71+input:analog-stereo
If card Profiles are not accessible in usual Audio GUI controls, I suggest either:
-
install PulseAudio Volume Control GUI - pamac install pavucontrol
-
Or use this command to change profile
