@countrypunk @linux I've had similar issues that I've attributed to me using i3, but the fix might work for you. Run 'xrandr' and find the name of your TV output (I see yours is HDMI-2), and then run 'xrandr --output HDMI-2 --auto'. That should make the screen work. If audio still isn't working and you use pulseaudio, open 'pavucontrol' (graphical program for changing audio settings, recommend downloading it if you don't have it). You can probably find a command that does the same thing with just 'pactl', but 'pavucontrol' will be way easier. On the tab for configuration/options, you'll have a drop down for audio output settings. Change it to something that has HDMI in the name, and that might fix it. I have a T490 and this has always been an issue for some reason, but the above steps get the display working and audio routed. Hopefully my fix works for you!

This reminds me of a time where I tried to nudge a client (on a Mac, so they had the archiver that definitely knew how to handle this) into accepting my tar.gz file, only for their browser to deem it as "unsafe", but when I tried to click the "hey yeah that's fine" button (but not actually read the whole message, because it's big and red and says basically "woah you sure" to which the answer is pretty much always "did I stutter") it actually was a "no don't download it, only make you think I downloaded it by placing a file in your downloads directory with the same name but zero size so it takes like 5 minutes to figure out and all of tar.gz's credibility to explain" button
