I have never used it, perhaps start with pw-link. I will investigate. In the meantime, two more data points I have thought of and that maybe I should have included in the original description: 1. although the input connection on the monitors is HDMI, the video ports on the system box are DP and so there is a DP->HDMI converter in between. The sound sinks appear as HDMI nevertheless. 2. one key difference between the Ubuntu setup and Debian is that the former used an nvidia driver for the graphics and the latter uses nouveau. Whether either of these facts matter, I don't know. Thanks again all that are trying to help me here! eric -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 31.0.50 2026-02-11) on Debian 13.3
