Nvidia [closed source]: No sound via HDMI

I am running Archlinux on a Thinkpad P50 (BIOS version 1.53) with Lenovo GM107GLM [Quadro M1000M]. I am using only the dedicated GPU (deactivated the Intel GPU in the BIOS) with closed source Nvidia drivers. In the past, I could use audio via HDMI (for example, when I plug my TV to my Laptop). Currently, however, Pulseaudio (i.e., pavucontrol) says that for "HDA Nvidia", all HDMI interfaces are unplugged/unavailable (while I can perfectly use the TV a second screen...)

I checked with nouveau driver and was able to select HDMI 3 interface (though no 5.1 surround, which I think I was able to select in the past with the closed-source Nvidia drivers), which was clearly marked as available, and enjoyed sound.

I suspect some Nvidia drivers issues. I tried to downgrade to nvidia-410.78-1, but with my current kernel, that driver did not work (and I do not know, with which kernel I could run that driver version).

Some outputs: aplay -l

I tried plughw without success (expect for my card 0, of course).

And dmesg | grep HDMI

Any help is highly appreciated.

Re: Nvidia [closed source]: No sound via HDMI

I'm having the exact same problem as you... I have a GTX970 with Nvidia drivers on my PC. It stopped having sound on my HDMI about two weeks ago. In a clean installation on another partition and with nouveau drivers I was able to have sound as usual.

The audio on my usb headset works fine, only the hdmi output that isn't working as it appears unplugged/unavailable.

Any luck with your problem?

I'm having the same issue with a GTX 660. Around two week ago, the sound through HDMI/DisplayPort stoped working.

Re: Nvidia [closed source]: No sound via HDMI

So far, my “solution” has been to install the nvidia-390 driver.

Can confirm this worked for me, and my GTX-1080.  I hope this isn't a dead thread but to anyone looking for a solution to this HDMI sound problem, this driver seems to work.  Thank You for this post, this has been bugging me for a long time.
