When it comes to cabling, with HDMI, one cable or another is not going to affect sound (or no sound) going to the monitor. They're all supposed to carry sound and picture (the thing is aimed at consumers plugging DVD players, and the like, into their television set, with one cable carrying everything). Generally speaking HDMI cables work, or they don't work. Really crappy ones that are too long for their own good will either give no sound and picture, at all, or they'll continuously stutter between working and not working. There's a bunch of data lines in standard cables that carry sound and picture, control, identification, etc. There are some optional extras, such as ethernet, and an audio return channel (ARC), but which won't be a part of your issue. ARC is to do with home theatre, such as a DVD player connected through an audio amplifier to a television, with just one HDMI lead between player and amplifier, and one HDMI lead between amplifier and TV. So far, playing a DVD on your TV and listening to it on your stereo is a straight forward obviously easy thing to support, all the signals are going in one direction (outward from the DVD player). ARC allows your TV to send sound back to the amplifier, so you can watch broadcast television, and hear it through your stereo, without having to patch in yet another cable. That's why there's only one ARC socket on your TV, you're only expected to connect one amplifier to the TV. If you have a multitude of players (DVD, video games, streaming boxes, etc), you either connect each direct to multiple TV inputs, or to multiple inputs on your amplifier in the middle. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
