My laptop runs on Ubuntu 18.04 and is hooked up to the monitor via the ultra-dock docking station's hdmi displayport.
Normally I have been very pleased with this, but when watching video trainings I often need to pause the video to try things out and then restart the video.
The problem with my setup was that there was always a pause of 2-3 seconds before the audio became enabled again. A real pain in the butt.
The fix is very simple in my case, and this is how I achieved it.
