Linux Mint HDMI Audio stops working
Every other day the audio seemed to stop passing through the HDMI chord to the Display for my media rig Ryzen 9 3900x Custom PC. Audio seemed to usually stop as I paused a Youtube video, or switch apps every so often
I would manually disconnect the HDMI and plug it back in to get it to work, but I thought there had to be a simpler way to do it via software.
Solution 1
I could go to Display settings and change the resolution to any other resolution and back. That got the audio working as usual (because it re connected the graphics card).
Solution 2
take Solution 1's idea and put it in a one click script
#! /bin/bash
# to find display name and modes "xrandr -q"
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1360x768
sleep 3s
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080
exit
