MAC not switching to HDMI audio after turning off TV and back on.

I don't seem to be able to edit the post, maybe time has passed. But this is a brand spanking new Mac MINI. Just a week or so old, just trying to feel my way around it, maybe there is FN, Control, Option, Command Key I am missing but I haven't found it.

Ps: I am using the Magic Keyboard and not my Windows Keyboard.

Thanks, but I just find it strange that it does that. I was using my Windows PC the same (leaving it turned on and turn off the TV) that one was also connected to the same TV and in the morning it would still play music.

Isn't there a Key, FN, Control, Option, Command etc combo that I can use to revive this?

Ps: Only rebooting the Mac in the morning to get the sound back, not leaving it turned off during the night as already said.

Yeah I understand that windows works differently and I am getting to know that definitely as I am switching to MAC, Thx, but that doesn't work as stated in my OP, I can click till my mouse runs out of battery *pun intended* but nothing manages to change it. Only a reboot, as stated, solves it.

I have tried your solution and of course via Settings - Sound - Output. but no dice

Thx,

I have found some other posts, on other forums, that speak of approximately the same issue, so a Feedback to Apple I have already filled in.

Thx
