Public bug reported:

Hi...my problem is that I am using the nVidia GTX card connected by HDMI
cable to a widescreen Samsung monitor that doesn't have speakers.
Ubuntu assumes I can use that to play audio.  In reality I'm using
stereo speakers connected to the "center" output from the rear of the
computer.  This works fine in windows, but not in Ubuntu 20.04.  I've
tried several fixes to similar looking issues on line, but still I don't
get sound.  The only option I have under settings is for the
HDMI/DisplayPort 2 - GM107 High Definition audio controller [GE Force
940 MX].  I've tried an old solution by adding hdajackretask and I've
tried adjusting volume levels using alsamixer, but those solutions
didn't help.  Anyone have any other ideas?  Thanks in advance.
