I have recently purchased an Atomic Pi SBC…love the device…but no sound…bought a cheap 32 inch TV from Wal-Mart that had HDMI input…video works fine after some adjustment but no sound…am I missing a simple setting or am I in deep dodo???

You haven’t told us which release of Lubuntu you are using.
Sorry I have no experience of using audio thru HDMI cables, but I’d look in pavucontrol (bring up the menu and search for ‘pav’ assuming you are running a LXQt release) or Pulse Audio Volume Control, and you may find in the Output.Devices tab you can select where audio goes out. Please note: this is entirely guess as I’ve never used hdmi audio, next I’d look in the Configuration tab…
In “Sound & Video/PulseAudio Volume Control” check that output device is not muted.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Bionic…
Did you try pavucontrol? On Lubuntu 18.04 LTS it’s found in the Sound & Video menu (only LXQt has search function).
(I believe pavucontrol should be on all Lubuntu 18.04 LTS installs; https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/lubuntu-desktop)
the atomic Pi software did not have pavucontrol…could not find it in the software center…looked at a HDMI connector pin-out but do not understand what I am looking out…is there another way to get sound out of this SBC?
I have given up on getting this thing to do audio output…maybe I will try another cheap SBC???

Yeah sorry I forgot you were on a SBC, and powered on a x86_64 box so what I was suggesting was from what I found there. Apologies for not noticing that key bit of your info.
Wait, you’re using Ubuntu? Then why are you on the Lubuntu forum?
