Hmm try use speaker-test in a shell to see if anything comes out.
From your aplay -L output for lines that have hdmi:blah like hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0, try using each of them with speaker-test to see if any sounds come out

Code:

speaker-test -Dhdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 -c 2

Playback device is hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16, device or resource busy

atomicspin you have to stop xbmc first before you run speaker-test.
do like a "sudo killall xbmc" then run speaker-test again through the possible hdmi options you have.

Okay! I'm getting static sounds through the speakers, which is better than before when I do speaker-test -Dhdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 -c 2

Now, how do I get XBMC to do work with it?

Well then if DEV=0 works, try to see if this works

Audio Output Type: HDMI
Speaker Config: 2.0
Dolby Digital: Yes
DTS: No? (for your tv)
Audio Device: Custom
Custom: hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
Passthrough Audio Device: Custom
Custom: hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0

If you have the PC connected directly to the TV using the TV speakers for output, try using Audio Type = Analog.

I've done that every time, just to be sure. No dice.
