[SOLVED] Monitor speakers no longer working

Just noticed that my monitor's speakers are not longer speaking after trying to switch to them from my headphones (my hyperx headphones work fine). The only option for the speakers which is named as "Navi 21/23 HDMI/DP Audio controller (my monitor is connected through a type c to DP cable) is Pro Audio which after selecting it, it opens 11 ports that none of those is working. If I could pin point the cause I would say potentially is a KDE issue as I tried downgrading the kernel and testing the LTS kernel and none of them fixed it.

Re: [SOLVED] Monitor speakers no longer working

Do you have still the problem?
whats the outputs of

pactl list short sinks
pactl get-default-sink
pamixer --get-volume

For me, I wrote a bash script t o switch easy between my sinks (I have three sinks). Maybe it is also an option for you

#!/bin/bash
VOLUME_DEFAULT_SINK=$(pamixer --get-volume)
OLD_DEFAULT_SINK_NAME=$( pactl get-default-sink )
OLD_DEFAULT_SINK_ID=$( pactl list short sinks | grep -i "$OLD_DEFAULT_SINK_NAME" | grep -o '^\S*' )

#get number of inks
NUMBER_OF_SINKS=$( pactl list | grep "Sink #" | wc -l )

#Go through the number of sinks:
for ((i=1;i <= $NUMBER_OF_SINKS;i++))
do
	#echo new loop,  i=$i
	#ID of sink with number i:
	NUM_SINK=$( pactl list short sinks  | grep -o '^\S*' | head -n $i  | tail -n 1 )
	if [[ "$NUM_SINK" -eq "$OLD_DEFAULT_SINK_ID" ]]
	then
		#echo fist if, then zweig: [[ "$NUM_SINK" -eq "$OLD_DEFAULT_SINK_ID" ]]
		#echo i=$i
		if [[ "$i" -eq "$NUMBER_OF_SINKS" ]]
		then
			#echo zweiter if, THEN zweig: [[ "$i" -eq "$NUMBER_OF_SINKS" ]]
			#echo new Default sink is the first
			FIRST_NUM_SINK=$( pactl list short sinks  | grep -o '^\S*' | head -n 1  | tail -n 1 )
			#echo execute:     pactl set-default-sink $FIRST_NUM_SINK
			pactl set-default-sink $FIRST_NUM_SINK
		else
			#echo zweiter if, ELSE zweig [[ "$i" -eq "$NUMBER_OF_SINKS" ]]
			#echo new default sink is the "next one"
			NEXT_NUM_SINK=$( pactl list short sinks  | grep -o '^\S*' | head -n $[$i+1]  | tail -n 1 )
			#echo  execute:     pactl set-default-sink $NEXT_NUM_SINK
			pactl set-default-sink $NEXT_NUM_SINK

		fi
	fi
done
exit 0

Issue was fixed with latest linux 6.18.2 update. Sound works fine for the monitor now with (Digital Stereo (HDMI 3) Output) option being available.
