With 18.04 I can get video and sound. However, I need to manually change the sound settings. There seems to be no default for when HDMI is inserted. Is this normal for HDMI. It would be great if sound automatically went to HDMI when HDMI is inserted?
Also, I have only tried on one TV so far, but I do occasionally get a scrolling line from bottom to top on the videos that does not exist on the laptop screen. Is this a hardware or software incompatibility. Any suggestions to troubleshoot?
