HDMI shows up on the list of audio outputs, but when I choose it, the sound doesn't work at all. I checked to make sure nothing was muted and sound was turned up to 100%. I am pretty new to this. I have mainly been using windows for almost 26 years. I used Fedora for a couple of years, more than 10 years ago. I know a few of the commands for displaying information, but not all of them. I have this wonderful, hdmi sound system and can't use it at all. Any suggestions at all would be helpful.
Further Explanation:
Gnome

Open Sound menu

Output Device: HDMI/DisplayPort - Built-in Audio

Click "Test" Button, Click all speaker buttons one at a time and they light up and go off after 2 seconds and I hear nothing.
