On the playback tab in pulse audio it just shows VLC media player and a flickering bar underneath??

Beside VLC, there's a box. Mine says Built-in Audio Analog Stereo. If I click on it, I can change it to other cards.

What does yours say and what other options are there?

[electric-wildflower]

Never mind i solved it lol.

The Monitor in question i am using is an acer ka22ohq which i didn't realize when i brought it that there is two options one with built in speakers and one without and of course i picked up the non speaker model and was confused why in the options on the monitor you couldn't select the sound option but now i know. I was planning on getting a second monitor anyway when i upgrade to a dedicated graphics card so ill get the monitor with speakers option.

Hence why HDMI works fine but it says unplugged with audio my bad haha.

LOL!

Glad this is solved, regardless.
