Hi everyone, I’m not managing to get audio on my tv through HDMI.
I’ve checked various other threads on the topic, but haven’t found anything that clearly matches my setup (a lot of them do things with pulse-audio while I’m using pipewire and others talk about issues with audio through their nvidia card, which I have, but I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be using it).

Everything works fine when using windows and I thought I had it working with pulseaudio before garuda switched to pipewire, but I’m not sure.
I have been able to get some noise out of the tv with speaker-test -D plug:hdmi.
I have also tried switching to hybrid mode in optimus-manager, but that did not help.
Any suggestions for a fix?
