Updated with some additional info:
$cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec

$cat /procasound/card1/codec* | grep Codec

Appears to have been fixed by adding /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-alsa.conf with the line
ALSA_CARD=NVidia

I feel like there might be some frankenstein config now. That directive should be irrelevant given that you consequently use pulseaudio. In order to do that you might want to install pulseaudio-alsa which will setup an /etc/asound.conf that will redirect ALSA only applications to pulse if they play back over the default device. With your current setup, if you happen to be utilizing the soundcard via pulseaudio and open up an ALSA application the ALSA application won't have sound and vice versa.

So maybe the addition I made was coincidental to pulseaudio just restoring on subsequent restart. I have pulseaudio-alsa installed. I do not have any user-specific config files such as ~/.asoundrc. Here is my /etc/asound.conf:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {

Then that's even weirder. if you run an aplay on a file now, you should be seeing an "[ALSA plugin] aplay" stream within pulseaudio tools. If you don't it's likely that your directive moves support away from the pulse setup again.

Yes, running aplay shows that in the pulseaudio volume controller but the default card is not the HDMI but rather the built-in audio that produces no sound. If it plays long enough I can select the right card with the GUI and get sound. Non-ALSA applications seem to use the HDMI correctly card by default.

I think the problem is that the sysdefault is not the Nvidia card. Output from aplay -L includes:
sysdefault:CARD=Generic
HD-Audio Generic, ALC892 Analog
Default Audio Device
This makes the Generic card the fallback according to the asound.conf file settings. Not sure how to set the sysdefault though.
