HDMI audio via one HDMI connector on the machine. These pages might be fine, too: https://askubuntu.com/questions/78174/play-sound-through-two-or-more-outputs-devices https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/143865/how-to-enable-both-built-in-audio-output-and-hdmi-audio-output-with-pulseaudio/180374#180374 It looks like one really needs some understanding about audio soft- and hardware setups to make sure that if wrappers like pulseaudio or pipewire¹, the new one on F27 that might replace at least parts of PA, break setups we're still able to fix them ... still learning .. :) For a starter if one wants a quick idea of how extensive the whole audio setup can become one might try a look into the files in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/ ... :) Thanks Mike, and to Doug, too, who already replied before.
