Hey, fresh install of arch here (made the switch coming from Antergos)
Currently I'm using GNOME like a n00b (someday I'll switch to i3 but not now).
> As a side note one thing I found weird was that usually for laptops with nvidia graphics (Acer predator helios 300), gnome on wayland is an L... but after no luck with the nvidia driver from the official arch repos, I tried nvidia-beta from the AUR, and gnome on Xorg doesn't work while wayland does. Anyways, I'm not complaining about this, since I don't see any functional day-to-day difference between the 2.
The problem currently, is as the title implies: Sound through the laptop's built in speakers work fine, no complaints there.
But, in gnome's built in sound settings menu (correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's pulseaudio) HDMI audio doesn't show up in the list.
Earlier, I installed alsa-utils, and modified `~/.asoundrc` , and got a device labelled something like: "gp106 High definition audio device" So, at least the audio device on the graphics card is being detected.
Nothing could be heard, however, when switching to this device.
> Another side note, I think that this laptop is one of those where the HDMI output is wired directly to the gpu, since display output doesn't work if the gpu is switched off, and there is no bios option to disable the gpu so I don't believe there's any muxing
Since then, though I restored a snapshot of my drive, since I knew I would mess something up haha.
So, right now, my system is basically a fresh arch install with only gnome installed. Any suggestions?
Oh, also I forgot to mention that when I was using Antergos, sound was working through the HDMI port
Thanks

Hi, have you tried pavucontrol (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=pavucontrol)? I use it to change audio output between my laptop's build-in speakers and other media like headphones or TV/monitor with build-in speakers.

Hi, thanks fo your response.
looks like I forgot to mention that I have tried using pavucontrol.
Just like with pulseaudio, I was able to get a gp106 (code name for gtx 1060) audio device to show up by editing .asoundrc but no sound would come through when switching to that device
