This may be something that 'everyone' knows, but I didn't know until yesterday

 

After several recent computer builds, including the warranty replacement of a bad motherboard, I had enough parts to build a spare computer for me... motherboard is https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Prime-Z490-P/dp/B07ZT3F95V/

 

I had never before connected a computer to a TV so I was 'somewhat' surprised while installing the most recent Win10 updates that the TV in a bedroom (close enough to use a long network cable) had sound without using the separate sound cable that I would use with small speakers... I had no idea that the motherboard HDMI connection also had sound

    I often find when installing Windows or Nvidia updates that my usual default audio output is swithched from my Blackmagic card to one of the HDMI monitor outputs, took a bit of finding the first time it happened.
