I have a server with Ubuntu server 16.04 installed, which doesn't have a physical sound card.



Is it possible to play sound (over VGA, HDMI,...) without the sound card?
Do I have to install a virtual sound card or something?



I've installed alsa, alsa-tools, pulseaudio and tried to play with both MOC and via a movie using mplayer.
