Yes, I should have updated this. I tried about 6-7 kernels all between 4.15 and 4.18.19 (i think, or some high number like that), all of them worked across Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, and Debian, and I think it was Manjaro. 100% no audio issues.
But once i tried the 4.19 kernel (or higher, I tried about 8 kernels such as 4.19.0, 5.10, 5.2, 5.5, 5.5, 5.7, 5.8 etc), no luck across any distribution! So something definitely changed in the audio settings in the move from the last kernel build in the 4.18 build and the 4.19 series and higher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834771 Title: No HDMI-audio after kernel 4.15.-0.50 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got no HDMI-audio.
