So kids are doing virtual school, which means a lot of time on Zoom. We're running the Zoom Flatpak on the main desktop for one of my kids, but I keep having issues with the sound output. I use a 32" Vizio smart tv for my monitor, so the sound output is over HDMI. When connecting to, or sometimes while using Zoom, the sound output just stops. When I look at the settings, the HDMI output is no longer there, and it's not available from the drop down either. It just shows "Dummy Output". I'm not sure where to look or what to look for as a cause for the problem. Spec of the machine below and screen shot from the settings app. Everything is working perfectly at the moment, so I didn't capture the Dummy Output.
