Bazzite 41 broke the hdmi audio in game mode
Since the bazzite 41 update, I can’t make my audio works when connected on my tv.
It seems to work fine with my headphone.
So it seems more related to audio hdmi.
Also, the hdmi audio, works fine in desktop mode.
So it is only in Gaming mode.

Oh well, going in desktop mode seems to fix the thing. I don’t see the problème anymore since. 🤷🏼
Are you back in game mode and does it work?
Yes
I got a tv with an external sound bar.
My mini pc was connected to my tv, but I think I open it even before I turn on my tv and the sounds bar.
My guess would be, in game mode it check if hdmi audio is available on the “initiation” then it didn’t check anymore.
So going in desktop mode seems to trigger a second check. So it was working coming back in game mode.
I try to reboot to see if I see the bug after the reboot, but nothing.
If I’m able to reproduce, I’ll uncheck this to let know the issue. But for the moment I’m not sure if i just fall in a weird exception only one time.
Just updated my system with 6900XT connected to LG C1 over HDMI, that is connected to Denon AVR over HDMI EARC, and still have HDMI audio and my service to switch it to 5.1 surround still works as well.
I try what was my guess and am not able to reproduce the issue what ever I tried. 🤷🏼
Service to switch to 5.1?
Seems like it happens at lot finally.
I quit a game, it suddenly reboot then no sound so I have to reboot my self.
It just takes a little thing, like enabling HDR in game mode, to get audio back.
Looks like audio isn’t load correctly before it is set?
