I'm on CachyOS and trying to set up a multi-room system with one PC. I have a 4-monitor setup, and I have monitor 4 connected to my TV in another room (room 2), and 1-3 in my studio (room 1) with the PC.

I'm trying to set it up so that my 3 monitors in room 1 use my speaker setup in that room only, and monitor 4 to use the TV soundbar for anything running on that monitor in room 2 only.

I can't seem to find a way change the output for specific monitors if it's at all possible.

I do not think that is possible but if it is, then you’ll want to ask in the discord or discourse forums.

Sure it’s possible. But Let’s stop putting support and communities behind that locked , privacy nightmare of a platform discord.

Explain how it’s possible. If you’re talking about if you go in and modify the kernel sure. For a person that’s asking on a forum, no, they are looking for a built in way.

Haha damn, I just left Discord. I'll check out the forum though, thanks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
