Hi,
Over the last few years I was using audio through the HDMI port on an amd GPU (because my headphone cable reaches my monitor, but not the audio port on the actual computer). Recently, my gpu died and I’ve been using the integrated graphics of the cpu (an i7 3770k), but now, the HDMI port is no longer listed as an audio output in the sound settings.
I’m posting this here because I’m not sure if this is an issue of hardware detection that can be fixed, or if this is a limitation of the hdmi port of my motherboard, or a limitation of my CPU. How can I find out?
Thanks

Welcome to Manjaro!
It’s becoming more and more prevalent that computer manufacturers use the dGPU do drive the HDMI port without wiring up the iGPU to HDMI (to cut costs).
Please read this:
How to provide good information
and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width
would be the minimum required information… (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text .

Right, of course.
Here’s the output:

Can’t DDG it for you as I don’t have a product number and am on different hardware than you.
so I’m going to stand by my original guesstimate:
So basically: you have to replace your dGPU to get HDMI audio output again.
