After plugging in the monitor, go into System Settings, go to the Display and Monitor section ( which is the display KCM Sithlord mentions) --does it appear there?

It's always the odd-ball card. The 4570 is not mentioned in Ubuntu howto for ATI/Radeon cards:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

and for all such cards on boxes running 16.04 and newer they recommend the

xserver-xorg-video-ati

package, which I assume you have already tried and it has failed. Yes/no

The 4570, as shown via lspci, is an RV710 which is listed as fully supported by the radeon driver, which should be included by default, no (re)installation needed

That's some foo I didn't know. The 4570 is not listed beside RV710:

 RV710/RV730
    

Radeon HD 4330/4350/4550/4650/4670/5145/5165/530v/545v/560v/565v

I gather you have Intel on board graphics and AMD graphics on a laptop? This is swictheable/hybrid graphics. It's a pain on Linux, period.

Intel/nvidia seems to work, but Intel/AMD is a problem.

Good luck.

I know HDMI out is problematic using the open source drivers. You can try updating with the oibaf ppa:

The page does say it is not an exhausted list, so I am sure it is a variant perhaps added after that part if the wiki page was last edited.

if you click the speeker icon in the system tray do you see "something" like this ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,



if so , wile playing audio click the "applications tab" and drag and drop the app playing audio and drop it on the HDMI device ,,,,you should now get sound .

if you do not see a HDMI device ,,,then their is more work to do to discover why.

this ,,,,

pactl list sources

will list all devices that pulse audio is aware of .

so , your saying that you have audio through the HDMI , but turning down the built in speakers turns down the HDMI as well ?

in the volume control as shown in the screen shot ,do you have 2 entries 1 for the HDMI and one for the built in ?

post the output of the Konsole/terminal command I gave in post #25

You may have to fiddle with different settings that you have available on your system. My Chromebook below does not have as many options as my laptop, which has many more selections, one of which put the audio to the hdmi only, but I can't recall which one. I am away from that keyboard for a while
