HDMI suddenly stopped working

I normally use a headset for audio on my computer, but occasionally use my TV's speakers to play out loud.  About a month ago, audio stopped working, and I assumed it was the TV, but recently I have been able to play audio using my laptop (also running arch).

What I have done:
Physical:
I have tried different HDMI ports on the TV and my computer's graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060) as well as different HDMI cables. I have had no problem using any port or cable with my laptop (arch).

Software:
In pacmd:

$ pacmd list-cards                                                            
3 card(s) available.

        properties:

                alsa.driver_name = "snd_hda_intel"

... (other cards are my motherboard aux audio and headset)

I have tried changing the profile of the output (I tried them all) with pacmd.  The profile defaults to output:hdmi-surround-extra5, but I currently have it set to output:hdmi-stereo-extra5 (using "pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_01_00.1  output:hdmi-stereo-extra5" which I think is what it should be).  Notice that in ports, hdmi-output-5 has 'device.product.name = "SANYO LCD"' which is the name of the TV I am using.

In aplay:

$ aplay -l

... (card 2: headset)

not sure what to do here. Seems fine to me :\

I don't think I changed anything relevant about my system, so I think it stopped working during some update.  Seeing as audio works fine with my headset, and that my graphics card isn't particularly old, I doubt it is a hardware problem.
