when connecting HDMI, i can't change the output to the HDMI. I am running kali linux, and under configuration tab of the sound settings i have 2 profile list options. Built in audio and GM204 High def audio controller. Built in audio has different listings including the correct ones for my computer audio but no HDMI listed. GM204 has multiple HDMI listed but all appear as unplugged and unavailable.
this can be seen when running pacmd list-cards

I have tried updating the packages, and followed some recommendations on different threads but to no avail. I have noticed that the driver used is snd-hda-intel, but from my research it is compatible for my hardware (gtx970m)
