Hi All
First, I have done quite a bit of searching and I can't seem to find the issue even though there are a numbers of posts from the past. I am hoping something is a bit different in my case.
I just installed arch and I am running openbox and Volume Control 0.51. I am having trouble getting sound output to my HDMI monitor. "aplay -l" shows:
$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC1150 Analog [ALC1150 Analog]

I can use the above to play a test sound correctly using:
aplay -D plughw:1,3 ./test.wav
After testing, I modified my ~/.asoundrc to look like:
$ cat ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}
Logging out and/or rebooting results in no sound but the "aplay" test still works. My next debugging step based on forum posts was to use "pavucontrol". I noticed the first output device is a "GF100 High Definition Audio Controller" and the Port shows "HDMI/DisplayPort (plugged in)". I enabled it and I get sound over HDMI and I can control the sound level using "pavucontrol". However, my "Volume Control" can't control the audio volume. I can select HDA Nvidia as a device but I can't select a channel, which is what I assume needs to be done to get it to control the HDMI audio.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get "Volume Control" working?

Ok All. I am not sure what to say. I changed the Volume Control preferences device to default and it works.
Sorry about the long post but I think it was solved once I modified .asoundrc.
