Hi there,
I'm looking for a solution to force the sound output device to a specific HDMI/DP output port.
pactl list sinks only reports my HDMI/DP as one output device, with one port however I still got two options to pick from in the Settings.
HDMI / DisplayPort 5 & HDMI / DisplayPort 3
How to force ZorinOS to ALWAYS use HDMI / DisplayPort 5.
On every lock, or reboot, It sets itself to output 3, while I need it on 5.
How to permanently disable output 3?
