Legion 5 Pro 16IAH7H No HDMI Output

I am unable to get output on my HDMI with a fresh install of CachyOS. The behavior persists whether I am using X11 or Wayland. KDE appears to detect the HDMI connection and asks how I want to display the new monitor, but it does not appear to matter what I select, it never outputs. I am using all the default options and have not altered or added any kernel parameters or config files.

I have confirmed that HDMI Out works on a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with the Nvidia drivers installed both on X11 and Wayland, so I know the BIOS is configured where the output is possible. A cursory seach for Arch documentation did not yield any advice that worked on a previous install.

Provide a sudo cachyos-bugreport.sh after plugging it in.

It looked like an EDID issue so I tried another monitor, same behavior. A Dell monitor and a TV, neither get video to them.

I think I have chased it down to as most likely an Nvidia driver bug for version 555. Every distro that works has used an older driver version. Could be quite specific down to laptop or GPU model so not exactly useful for the CachyOS team. So the answer is to install an older driver version till Nvidia fixes the bug.
