I have an Huawei Matebook 13 2019, running on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. Model wrt-wx9 in bios, says wrt-w19 on the laptop. GP108M [GeForce MX250] / Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2). The hdmi comes through a usb-c dongle. Video shows good, but hdmi audio device is not listed. The laptop has both intel and Nvidia gpus. In ubuntu I'm using latest Nvidia recommended drivers, and prime-select nvidia. The same thing happens if I select intel. Under windows the HDMI audio, shows as intel. Tried different solutions after googling, but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

What are you attached to that you are trying to make the sound come out of?

https://consumer.huawei.com/en/accessories/matedock-2-docking-station/ Its the same dock that came with the computer. Video and audio works with windows. Attached to a TV. Same exact setup works with Windows.

What audio devices can you find listed? Try `aplay -l` (https://askubuntu.com/questions/22031/what-are-my-audio-devices#22036) and add relevant output to your question. Have you had a look through the output of `dmesg` after unplugging and replugging the USB device - try `sudo dmesg | tail -100`?

it's really weirds theres no sign of any HDMI audio anywhere, whatever I do, it's just not there. Must be like a driver issue or something like that. Have been googling hours and hours about this, but nothing. :(

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
