144hz external display capped at 70?

[ricklinux]

I don’t use wayland because i find there are things that don’t work for me either under certain conditions or hardware. On some desktops i can use it but generally i use xorg.

Edit: I’ll rephrase that… some things either don’t work or i can’t get working and or i just can’t be bothered to spend countless hours trying to get it to work when i already have something that does work for me without any issues. It can be also that i don’t have the knowledge to be able to.

So it is working on xorg and you are able to switch to nvidia on the external monitor with optimus-manager? Also are you getting the 144Hz you wanted?

Edit: Switch to nvidia and then post

Under xorg after switching to nvidia, yes my external display does work at 144hz, although now my laptop screen seems to be stuttering (this one is 60hz)

Seems to me you got it working. I see the latest nvidia drivers are installed and it is using the nvidia graphics for rendering. Where are you seeing the 144 Hz on that monitor as it’s not showing on the output here?

Edit Also with respect to audio? So does audio work when using the amdgpu on the laptop screen?

inxi -Aa

[ricklinux]

If you run this command should show the hz.

xrandr

[ricklinux]

Are you logged in under xorg from the log in screen on Kde?

Edit: The reason i ask is my output shows x for kwin driver and your output shows xwayland? Mine is a desktop with amd graphics and only one screen?

Edit2: Sorry forget i asked that i looked at the wrong line.

Edit3 I think it’s all good and i would try to figure out the sound issue.

[ricklinux]

For audio

inxi -Aa

Click on the speaker, hamburger menu, configure audio devices. See what it is set for audio device. Maybe try one of the others.

It actually appears just like the image you uploaded (Inactive Cards)

[ricklinux]

Playback should be coming from speakers.

Edit: If you have something else plugged in as i see other outputs. The nvidia playback isn’t where sound should be coming from.

Do your monitors have speakers? Usually they are only like 2 Watt. Do you have HDMI hooked to monitor? Do you have speakers hooked up from the speaker out?

Edit: I see a usb audio device? Not sure what that is but maybe you need to just have external speakers hooked up and do they work? Then move on to the next thing.

[ricklinux]

I see this here so as i said i would start with the basics. Does sound work from external speakers. If wanting to use headphones and mic for gaming i assume or something then try to get those working. If you are trying to get sound from HDMI on nvidia well that may not be sufficient and or harder to get working according to this.

@ricklinux

Oh its a external usb microphone, dont worry about it

Audio from the external jack does work. I have my external speakers hooked up to via 3.5mm jack to my monitor, which redirects the audio that comes from any HDMI or, DisplayPort input in this case. Sound comes from the laptop to the monitor over dp which then routes it to the external speakers.

I see archwiki says its for PulseAudio but as far as i know EndevaourOS uses pipewire, is the information still valid then?

[ricklinux]

So if audio does work from the external jack. Then you are saying what? You don’t have it connected to the external jack but are trying to get the sound from display port by hooking the speakers up to the monitor?

Edit: And sound isn’t coming through from display port?

Edit: Have you tried enabling the profile?

I might have worded what i meant poorly. On windows, i could select an audio output that would drive sound over displayport to my monitor. I’m trying to do the same here, to get sound from displayport

@ricklinux

Have you tried enabling the profile?

Off is the only option, it wont let me to

[ricklinux]

Well i guess use the audio ouput that works for now if display port doesn’t.
