Hello archlinux forum
I have problems setting up pulseaudio on my new archlinux installation, it fails to detect the full capabilities of my soundcards.
alsa detects every sound card (there are 3: my audigy sound card, my internal intel hda and my graphics card's hdmi), but pulseaudio only registers the inputs of my audigy and the intel hda, so i have no sound without tinkering

I hope for some helpful input
thanks harlequix

Why do you use alsa and pulseaudio at the same time? You could have only pulseaudio and in, for an example, pavucontrol (gui for pulseaudio settings) you could choos which should be first, and rest mark as the spare. If you want to use pulse and alsa (in my case i have this option because i use mainly alsa and pulseaudio only for skype) you could set index for alsa (you have to crate file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and name it alsa-base.conf) and configure pulse to not grab alsa hadrware by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa. Both of these metods are explained on archwiki in pulseaudio and alsa pages.
BTW - about nvidia hdmi. nvidia sound chip use the same driver, that intel hda does:
lspci -vvvv
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device 354e
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-

Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 17
Region 0: Memory at f6080000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intelbut also something that in my opinion is an front end for it:
[firekage@arch_desktop ~]$ lsmod | grep snd_
snd_hda_codec_hdmi 49263 1
snd_usbmidi_lib 27571 0
snd_rawmidi 26806 1 snd_usbmidi_lib

usbcore 199382 9 uas,usblp,uvcvideo,usb_storage,snd_usbmidi_lib,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid
[firekage@arch_desktop ~]$ you should see snd_hda_codec_hdmi and _snd_hda_codec.
