Comment 5 for bug 1061684

Well most laptops today have an HDMI port, some no longer have VGA at all for output. If they are running ubuntu, you will need to plug in the TV (or projector) then proceed with going into the display settings to get the HDMI to clone then go into the sound settings to do the audio part.

In windows, if you plug anything into the HDMI port, it automatically switches the audio device, unless you manually change it back. I like how ubuntu gives you the control, but I think having the ability to switch between audio devices in a quicker/easier way would be very cool.
