[SOLVED] No sound with HDMI output

aplay -l:

lsmod | grep snd:

I tried the solution in the wiki. The sound would work when I issued the aplay command, but then when I set the .asoundrc file, sound would not work (after logging out and logging back in). I also tried this solution from another thread, but I mistakenly forgot to make backups of the two respective files and now I have no sound at all. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Edit:
Also tried this, didn't work either.

Edit2:
Finally got it solved! All I had to do was go into alsamixer and unmute the "S/PDIF" channel, follow the instructions from the wiki (see link above), and I finally got the sound to work.
