I want to send my audio to the connected monitor on my displayport output. I use KDE on devuan. **I can play manually using aplay (see below), the device seems to just not be listed**, so I exclude driver issues. Using pactl I found the port which the monitor is connected (-> hdmi-output-1):
$ pactl list cards
...

I can list and play a test sound using aplay (-> 0,7, which is hdmi 1 as found above):
$ aplay -l

$ aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
And I do hear the sound coming from the monitor. So I'm only missing to activate/enable this port to make available in my kde audio manager, how can I do that?
