 With cards like that, the drivers aren't involved and there is no
 software configuration required for the graphics card.  The hardware
 takes any signal it receives on the SPDIF input and sends it to the
 HDMI output.  If your hardware is working, whatever problem you're
 having is getting sound out of your SPDIF output on the Intel sound
 card and not related to anything nvidia or hdmi.

 Have you checked your mixer settings?  Does it work without pulse audio?

On the command line, alsamixer will give you an ncurses based mixer
panel.  If your outputs are muted or have 0% volume, you won't get
sound.

You can uninstall pulseaudio with:

sudo dpkg --remove pulseaudio

(You can always install it again if you want to.)  If your audio works
with pulseaudio uninstalled, but fails with it installed, then you'll
know you have a pulseaudio problem.

 Hi,
 Just reinstalled debian and are having lots of problems getting the sound to
 work through HDMI. I had it working but now it has just stopped. I'm
 watching the screen through the same HDMI so I presume hardware is good.

What kind of hardware is it?  You've said nvidia but not which model.


 Here's my setup as described by aplay;
 james@Hawaiian:~$ aplay -L

The fact that aplay -L never mentions NVidia in the CARD= sections
should tell you that you have a problem.

Does your kernel see an audio device associated with your card?  It
should look something like this in lspci:

eddie% lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [GeForce
GT 640] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)

Whatever you have for your PCI IDs for your graphics card, there
should be a .1 device for the Audio Controller portion.

If you don't see that, you may have an older card that doesn't support
directing audio to HDMI with software.  The older cards typically
require a wire to connect the SPDIF output from the motherboard (or
other) sound card to an SPDIF input on the graphics card.  If you have
that kind of card, check your cabling.

Sorry, didn't make myself clear, the sound card is an intel hda onboard and
there's a small cable which takes this from the motherboard to the nvidia
graphics card, which then connects to the HDMI cable. These are shown in
the lspci below.
