Measured, not inferred: every ELD on the NVIDIA card reads monitor_present 0
and every one of its DP connectors is disconnected — the connected display is
on the Intel iGPU. The default sink is therefore a transmitter with no
receiver, which is why 'no audio card' is an accurate description rather than
a preference complaint.

Records what it does and does not threaten. The gig's own path is the UMC202HD,
which is unpinned and currently unplugged, so it is untouched. What this blocks
is TODAY's rehearsal, whose monitor route is Jack Out on the card that is off —
and that rehearsal is the last unrun gate.
