My audio doesn’t get recognised through HDMI on both my external screen and on my TV. It only recognises the internal speakers on the laptop. On Linux LTS, it does get recognised and I can select which audio output I want.
Does anybody else have this issue?
Not here. Everything is working.
Asus B550-F sound and RDNA2 GPU sound through HDMI, both working.
Edit: Just noticed that I’m not using HDMI port, I’m using Display port, sorry.
Didn’t test HDMI.
Thanks for the answer.
To anyone else, the laptop is running an AMD APU Ryzen 5 with integrated graphics.
fire up PulseAudio Volume Control.
Go to the “Configuration” tab. With Ryzen you would probably need to select “Pro Audio” in the drop down or perhaps “Digital Stereo (HDMI X) output”.
Then play around with the drop downs in “Output Devices” and " “Playback” tabs. In these Tabs, the active device will have a VU bar showing activity.
Pudge
EDIT:
Sometimes on the first launch of PulseAudio Volume Control the “Configuration” tab on the left will not show up until you make the window wider.
Also, HDMI audio works on my Ryzen 7 5700G on both the linux 6.1.1.arch1-1 and linux-lts-headers 5.15.85-1 kernels.
The thing is that under 6.1, when opening volume control, the internal speakers and my headphone connector are the only options. (Xorg and Wayland)
When running LTS kernel, all the options appear.
And the settings are identical, yet audio through HDMI isn’t one of the options.
I will have to defer this to another user more versed in laptop external monitors as I have never used an external monitor on a laptop. I am trying to think if I remember any topics on this before, but drawing a blank.

On a laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 4800U with Radeon Graphics and with Kernel: 6.1.1-zen1-1-zen x86_64
I do get the audio output via HDMI on the first profile as shown below:

An off-topic question, but I’ve been dying to ask this since September.
Why are there two sound servers installed?
Not an expert on kernels, but is it possible that some kernel modules are not loaded for your kernel 6.1?
Based on that hypothesis, you could compare between the modules loaded for your LTS kernel and those loaded for kernel 6.1 to see the difference. Assuming that there are modules that are present when you run LTS kernel but missing when you run kernel 6.1, adding those missing modules might resolve the issue?
It took you some time 
I guess this might be why on my end:
pactree -r pulseaudio
pipewire-pulse provides pulseaudio
├─gnome-bluetooth-3.0
│ └─gnome-control-center
└─gnome-settings-daemon
├─gnome-control-center
├─gnome-shell
│ └─gdm
├─gnome-tweaks
└─mutter
└─gnome-shell
So practically, the whole of my desktop depends on it! Quite absurd!
This is my output under LTS:

I don’t where to look anymore.
Yup. I did run pactree as well when I was trying to find an explanation for the presence of pulseaudio. But I’m still quite unclear about the whole thing.
Forgive me for sounding like a complete noob, but pipewire-pulse claimed to provide pulseaudio, but when I list out all the files owned by the package, none of them are pulseaudio.

Perhaps compare the results returned by lsmod for both kernels?
I already did that, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Looks like we have identical Audio.
Not sure what might be wrong on your end.
On a more positive note, your
seems to be working.
Not mine:
Device-2: AMD ACP/ACP3X/ACP6x Audio Coprocessor vendor: Lenovo driver: N/A
Need to to do some digging.
No, that’s not it, because all the outputs do appear after that command. It’s only not appearing in volume control.
Did you perform the recent firmware update? There were some in 2022.
Yes, I am on the latest version for this machine:
