Thanks in advance for any help.
I've been using Arch for about a year now on an Asus X550CA and loved it.
I bought myself a ASUS GL702VM as a graduation present. I've got Arch up and running and most everything worked out of the box.
There are 3 things that haven't quite worked but for this I want to just focus on the HDMI sound output with the nVidia graphics card.
All 3 issues do work on win 10 but if I boot to Arch they don't work.
I have been at this off and on between school and work for about 2 weeks now.
There are several things that I've notices that my system doesn't detect (as you can see below) and I'm wondering if I'm missing a specific kernel module that needs to be loaded/configured or that my system is too new and the software hasn't been updated to account for this?
If the latter is true then I have no problem writing my own modules for me and others to use... however I'm not sure where to start to do this.
I do have some c++ background but most of my coding has been javascript/web technologies, but I have working BASH and python a bit in the past.
I've followed several links for the HDMI sound issue:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … are_loaded
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154573
http://www.mail-archive.com/pulseaudio- … 07433.html
http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86 … pulseaudio
I want to stick with the proprietary drivers because those will be the most up-to-date and feature rich I believe (correct me if I'm wrong).
Let me know if there is anything else that you would like to see.
Thanks again guys!

I'm guessing that the head-phone jack and speakers run through the intel card?

Normally you should be able to find a separate nvidia sound device in lspci anyway. Not sure how to fix it if it doesn't show up there.

Update
Looking into how windows does it it looks like they've got a "Virtual Audio Device" that it's using for the nVidia sound.
if anyone know anything about virtual audio with linux let me know.
I'm going to continue my research on getting this to work. I might need to just grab the windows driver and use ndiswapper to import it into Linux. people have just used that for network drivers that I've found so far, so I'm not 100% if that's even going to work.
