Update: Frustration.
Started fresh, with a brand new install of 8.10 Live.
Followed the entire script. The only difference is that the current Alsa script is now 1.15 instead of 1.14. Otherwise, everything went as planned.
Only had to run the install once with the -i flag, alsamixer on the next reboot said I had the right version (1.18) and the right device (NVIDIA MCP7A HDMI).
All playback items in alsamixer unmuted.
But! No audio over HDMI. I switched the iec958 setting to hdmi first, no luck. If I switch the "default" to hdmi, my videos all play back at double-speed. ?!?!?!?!
An aplay -l gives me this (typed by hand, but should be accurate):
Card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC1200 Digital [ALC1200 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I seem to recall reading in another thread somewhere that you need to create an alsa config file somewhere that tells it to use card3? Does that ring any bells?
Sigh. So near, yet so far. The video looks great otherwise. Too bad I can't hear it!
Update: running speaker-test doesn't generate any audible output either. I'm using this command:
speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c2
