That would be really annoying (when I would use sound)
On the other hand, the Nvidia card I use refuses to work via the external monitor (USB-C) at power on when plugged in. Power on, then plug in, then I have screen... weird.
You might ask, why a laptop: power consumption for the moments I don't need power. I don't want QHD on 17", 24" is better for my aging eyes so external monitor is a requirement. (previous one had 4K on 15", cheapest screen option to buy)
Who out there using computers without sound?
I bet you say it was your own choice as well to miss a standard feature.
"Why yes, I do use a computer without a monitor, I have memorised everything! No don't look behind the curtain at the shattered monitor, it was my own choice!"
Deaf people.
Literally anyone who wants to use a laptop in public withough annoying everyone around them.
I use my computers without sound, until I watch a vid (I use headphones for that). I hate the constant beeps for attention. Same with tablets, no sound, not even when playing a game. The only device that is allowed to make a sound is the phone. (and then very limited)
