Message   Tiny    Mike Powell   Linux HDMI Sound question   January 8, 2025

Hi Mike,
On <Thu, 08 Jan 25>, you wrote me:

That's all working as expected.  From what I can find out Windows runs
a little daemon that keeps reporting the monitor is on and not off.  When
dosbox goes full screen and the monitor goes blank for a second linux
assumes the sound is gone and resets to "Internal Sound" instead of the
HDMI one.

Just in case I have done that and it is on.  Only one setting on this
monitor for that, yes or no and it's on yes enable.  Does work fine as long
as the monitor doesn't flick in dosbox.

Hey gave me an option or two to check.  Any and all replies are apreciated.
