Monitor will be connected with Displayport and the Audio-Output is over the Monitor-Speakers. Of course – if something couldn’t be done now, doesn’t mean it’s not possible with IGEL, this is how IGEL OS got that far and keeps evolving That‘s a feature request I believe could interest a lot of (potential) customers! If you are a bit confident in scripting, that‘s something we could achieve with a if device is available set sink to…, if not set sink to.
Hi thank for the reply, that is the cases now but their request is to set it default. Hi Koen – wouldn’t the “sound preferences” available for the user be an option? So that she/he can adjust the setting if needed? However, if I plugin an audio jack (headphones) the machine will still put the audio through the HDMI screen speakers. If I force the default speaker to be HDMI (Accessories >Sound Preferences >Options >Port Name = HDMI / DisplayPort), it works for machines with a HDMI audio screens and internal speaker if no screen with audio connected. In the knowledge base I found a page kb./igelos-10.05/en/options-4259215.html which suggests the order of output should be USB, HDMI, Internal speaker. Reason is, the default now is internal UD3 Speaker even though a screen with build in speakers is connected through HDMI. My preferred order would be Headphones, HDMI, Internal Hi, I was wondering if someone knows how to manually set the default audio device priority.
