Title:
  HDMI audio not working on Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro ISO (video
  mixer)

Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  This is a complicated thing. I have a very specific problem with audio
  output on HDMI.

  I want to use an older notebook with Lubuntu 20.04 as a video source
  for libreoffice slides, videos etc. to feed them over HDMI into a
  Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro ISO (video mixer) as one input.
  Configured on the desktop just like a second screen or beamer.

  Video works well and rock-stable, no problem at all.

  But not audio.

  Although I carefully configured audio with pavucontrol to be directed
  to the HDMI output, the ATEM switcher does not recognize it as an
  audio source (like when connecting a digital camera) and does not
  receive or indicate any audio input.

  Note:

  But when I use the very same computer, same HDMI cable, same video
  with a cheap chinese portable LCD screen with speakers (i.e. pull the
  cable from the ATEM and plug it into the screen) it immediately starts
  playing both video and audio. So there is evidence that the ubuntu
  notebook definitely passes it's sound to HDMI and there's really an
  audio signal on the HDMI.

  I've opened a bug at Blackmagic Design, and got their reply that they
  can't help and have never heard of such a problem before. Their guess
  is that the linux notebook is not setting EDID configuration correctly
  and thus not recognized by the ATEM, while the cheap LCD screen
  propably does not care about EDID and just plays everything, therefore
  a wrong EDID information would not matter.

  Although I have decades of experience with Linux, I am not too
  familiar with details of HDMI and the internals of the X11 driver, so
  I'm not sure where to start debugging, not even, whether this is a
  problem of Xorg/X11 or pulseaudio.


  I've checked this with another notebook with much more recent (intel)
  hardware, which offers dozens of HDMI audio options in the pavucontrol
  selection menu, but same problem: Video works, but the ATEM does not
  recognize it as a audio source.

  
  Blackmagic Design (they're good in Windows and MacOS, but not Linux) 
recommended to use an edid manager, whatever this means.
