I have this same problem, although my hardware is slightly different - GT218 [NVS 3100M]
By following the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … s_Not_Work I was able to get sound to play using that aplay command. But I could never figure out how to get it to work with Pulseaudio. If you happen to just use pure ALSA then the instructions there might work for you.

Thanks you themusicalduck

I was having a problem with my hdmi sound. and just got it working today, though im on an ati so I doubt I can help but.... when I was using alsa on its own, under kmix I could get no channels for volume control with my hdmi. This morning I installed pulseaudio including all plugins the wiki suggested and all works now. With pulseaudio the hdmi sound card name actually even changed and is more detailed.

Try using this command with all the listed devices until you hear sound from one of them.
aplay -D hw:1,9 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Also, go into alsamixer, press F6 to go to the right sound card, and unmute everything by pressing M (OO means on, MM means muted). For me, I have a similar aplay -l, and for some reason, the correct device for me also hw:1,9 (no clue why there's four of them...), and things like pulse just assume it's 1,3. If you use ALSA, it should be easy to set it up in /etc/asound.conf. If you want pulse, you might have to go into /etc/pulse/default.pa and add a line like this in order for the correct card to show up, it worked for me on my GT430:
load-module module-alsa-sink device="hw:1,9" sink_name=digital_output

I am also having the same problem. Latest drivers with my GTX 560 Ti and when I use the aplay command listed above for all 4 devices I get this error:
aplay: set_params:1065: Channels count non available
