I have Mint 20 and a laptop with GTX 1060. Sound on my monitor always worked fine but a while ago it just disapeared from the options, leaving me with the laptop sound only.
I went over several topics here but could not fix it. Tried some of the most common fixes but no luck. Hopefully someone with more experience can shine some light over this issue. Any help would be much appreciated
