I am using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, this is the output from uname -a if it helps.
Code:
Linux plex780 5.0.0-37-generic #40~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 14 12:06:39 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If I use aplay -l this is the output
Code:
a@plex780:~$ aplay -l

I am running a normal desktop version. If I go into settings - sound I can see outputs for
Speakers Built in audio, and,
HDMI/Displayport 4 - GK107 HDMI Audio Controller.
Even though I can have them both 'ON' I can only got audio from one or the other depending on which one I last selected in settings, it seems it can be an exlusive output only?, some times it works more often then not i get nothing.
I have done some searching and seen one solution is to install paprefs. But, this did not work as I got an error of
Code:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
paprefs : Depends: pulseaudio-module-gconf but it is not going to be installed
Depends: pulseaudio-module-zeroconf but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
As I am probably a bit grey in the head for this I decided that without checking could be bad for my computer!
In case it helps provide information as to why I would like this, I am running OBS Studio and require the audio to be sent to HDMI to an external UDP stream hardware box and to the internal audio card headphones to provide a monitor for my self.
