No sound after installing nvidia graphics card

Hello Archlinux Forum this is my first time Posting!

After i upgraded my GPU from my amd apu to the Asus strix geforce gtx 960 and installed the nvidia driver I am not getting sound output not on pulseaudio or alsa directly.

output of aplay -l :

Re: No sound after installing nvidia graphics card

I guess your audio is just muted? For alsa you may unmute the channels with alsamixer or

amixer set Master,0 75% unmute
amixer set PCM,0 75% unmute

and in case of pulseaudio you can install and use something like pavucontrol.
Furthermore, rtfwiki .

Re: No sound after installing nvidia graphics card

i am having a similar problem, i newly install a nvidia gtx 960 card, and installed all updated driver from pacman. the card is connected to a tv, however, i have no audio output, pavucontrol show all hdmi are unplugged. i also try some live distros and they all show the same result. the card works when installed in a windows system.
