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.

From the MB to the external box speaker on the desk.
So I was wrong, sound was wired through the display via HDMI to the MB. I switched the speaker over to the MB directly and plugged the monitor into the GFX card instead of the MB, see if this changes anything.
You're going to get much better performance now too if the monitor was plugged into the motherboard before
Your monitor always needs to be plugged into the graphics card. If you plug it in via the motherboard, then your GPU is doing nothing, as it can't backfeed to that motherboard connector. CPUs often have their own graphics built-in, and that's what yours would have been using instead.
