Enabling Soundbar

I have a soundbar directly plugged into the HDMI of my GPU, and every audio source on pavucontrol does not work for audio output. Any ideas? Works on windows

Revisiting this with some more information: I'm on Bazzite 41 KDE, still haven't seen any way to get my soundbar directly plugged into the HDMI of my GPU to work. I do have alsa as mentioned above, but none of the settings seemed to fix it I looked into

also weird that it's specifically HDMI not working. For me, the AUX ports have some trouble, but HDMI has always worked great.

Pre-installed Never This should just work, there is nothing special needed to get HDMI audio working

SIlly question, but does your soundbar support display passthrough?
