I've never heard anything apart :
- some very bad sound I guess comes from the "normal" card,
- or no sound at all.
I don't know the sound of the HDMI card.

I didn't find anything that could be easily understable for a non
audio-geek; and unfortunately, I've no regular internet connection so
looking for information is not easy at the time.

Is it safe do remove PulseAudio? Because, as far as I understand things, I
don't need it (at least for the beginning) for my basic utilisation. I think
I can always re-install it once I the HDMI works, or not?
