Isn’t DVI a video-only connector?
Or what do you connect to what?

only DVI (desktop) → HDMI (LG M2380).
If I connect this monitor to another PC in the same way, then everything works

No digital output available in ALSA for DVI playback

The original specification for DVI connections does not include audio support. But modern GPU hardware uses HDMI hardware internally that can support audio playback via DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort

GPU card on my system has DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort connections, but ALSA only recognises them as HDMI devices

I suspect that the other system is using a proprietary OS, or possibly using the alternate Linux driver snd_soc_avs
