Edit: Solved, while changing EDID make sure to remove the old module first and reinstall it with the new EDID

I have a faulty DP to HDMI adapter, that unfortunately never seems to parse the EDID data, so while connecting to a TV I used this guide and a 1920x1080.bin file from the internet and it worked, but unfortunately I was unable to use the TV speakers(I guessed the EDID file didn’t specify that the device had audio out)

Using a separate pc I extracted my TVs EDID.bin file and repeated the steps but unfortunately, it just doesn’t work, its stuck on the old 1920x1080.bin(I can tell because it shows up as ‘Linux Foundation 23’') The issue persists even after I delete the old .bin file from /usr/lib/firmware/edid

I am using wayland

    I just did using the dracut command, it didn’t change anything, is there another more simpler way to go about this without risking messing up my system?

      Dracut is the correct way to do this on Fedora so nothing else needs to be done. Then I’m not sure why it’s not taking it.
