I have done so now (as also suggested by Max Nikulin). This sent me
down a rabbit hole unfortunately. With the nvidia driver, I no longer
can access more than my first monitor (there does seem to be an issue
with dual monitors, the nvidia drivers, and recent kernels).
I've reverted back to nouveau and will put up with no sound from the
monitors. I need a stable multi-monitor environment more than I need
sound. I can hope that the nouveau driver will be updated at some point
to address sound via DP/HDMI but it's not mission critical [1].
Thank you all for the very many helpful suggestions.

[1] the speaker in the system box itself is actually not too bad and I
have good headphones. :-Q
