I have the same issue with sound via HDMI since kernel 5.4.0-54-generic (I'm using NVIDIA GP107GL High Definition Audio, see system settings below). The issue exists also with kernel 5.4.0-56-generic.
As Youssef mentioned, the audio device is not shown, but a "Dummy Output". In contrast to Youssef, my headphones are working, when connected, but I suppose, they are working due to my separate intel audio control (see system settings below). Here are my current system settings: System: Kernel: 5.4.0-56-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.6.7 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20 Ulyana base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: MEDION model: H110H4-EM2 v: 1.0 serial: <filter> UEFI: American Megatrends v: 110M2W0X.203 date: 01/05/2017 CPU: Topology: Quad Core model: Intel Core i5-7400 bits: 64 type: MCP arch: Kaby Lake rev: 9 L2 cache: 6144 KiB flags: avx avx2 lm nx pae sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3 vmx bogomips: 24000 Speed: 3399 MHz min/max: 800/3500 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 3399 2: 3397 3: 3397 4: 3491 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] vendor: Elite Systems driver: nvidia v: 455.38 bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:1c81 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: nvidia resolution: 1600x900~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 455.38 direct render: Yes Audio: Device-1: Intel 100 Series/C230 Series Family HD Audio vendor: Elite Systems driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 00:1f.3 chip ID: 8086:a170 Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GL High Definition Audio vendor: Elite Systems driver: snd_hda_intel v: kernel bus ID: 01:00.1 chip ID: 10de:0fb9 Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.4.0-56-generic Hopefully this helps to solve the problem.
