Also, the new default audio engine is Pipewire instead of PulseAudio as its now a viable drop-in replacement
Some more commands for your perusal
$ for p in /sys/class/drm/*/status; do con=${p%/status}; echo -n "${con#*/card?-}: "; cat $p; done
eDP-1: connected
HDMI-A-1: disconnected
HDMI-A-2: connected
Could this be the issue cause I recently did a system upgrade?
