Description of problem: Using Fedora 28 I cant send sound through HDMI. The video is displayed perfectly, everything from the visual stand point works great, but there is no sound coming through. Note that this problem first appeared a few months ago, but after reinstalling pulseaudio everything worked great. 2 weeks ago when i tried to watch a movie on my computer using HDMI to send it to the TV the sound didn't work again... Using "pulseaudio Volume Control" Graphical Tool: -> On the output devices I only see my Built-in audio analog Stereo and not the HDMI option. Going into the "Configuration" tab, I can see the "HDA Nvidia" option but is set to "OFF", trying to change this is to no avail due to every-single option showing an "(Unpluged)" indication at the end. The output of "aplay -l": **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 System Kernel version: 4.19.13-200.fc28.x86_64 I am using only this GPU: GeForce GTX 960 I am using NVidia proprietary drivers Version: 415.25 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-12.2-1.fc28.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.1.6-3.fc28.x86_64 How reproducible: Every Time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect HDMI to TV. 2 Play something with sound. Actual results: No Sound comes from the TV connected through HDMI.
