Thanks. It looks like "unplugged" is just what the GUI says when ALSA reports available as "no" or "unknown". So as a first step this sounds like a kernel change and not a problem with the configuration GUI. This possibly also rules out PulseAudio since I think we're seeing the same problem directly from the kernel.
Please try some newer or older kernels to see if any of them avoid the problem: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ If that's too much work then I suggest installing Ubuntu 18.04 instead. Or at least live boot it from USB just to test: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/18.04.3/release/ ** Summary changed: - external HDMI monitor always "unplugged" + External HDMI monitor audio always reported as "unplugged" ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857821 Title: External HDMI monitor audio always reported as "unplugged" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1857821/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
