I've been trying to get linux to work with my HDMI sound to no avail. I tried Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10, Fedora, and openSUSE. I've read a bunch or articles and tried many things like alsa force-reload, pulseaudio --kill, and all that jazz. Maybe it's my sound card? I'm reinstalling Ubuntu 18.04 so if you have any suggestions for getting HDMI sound to work on that it would be much appreciated! Not even sure what my sound card is so help on checking that would be awesome too. I know my graphics card is a Nvidia GTX1070, but does that mean my sound card is Nvidia too? Sorry, I'm pretty new to Linux and haven't had to worry about these kind of things with Windows. Thanks.

Here's what I gotG'day @dnlaua and welcome to linux.org
At Terminal (this will work in any of your listed Distros), copy and paste and enter the following
Code:lspci -v | grep -i audio
That will give us a starter.

This will determine if Linux is detecting your HDMI chip.
I am on a Linux Mint at the moment, and mine looks like this (I don't use HDMI but the facility is there)
I should say here that I am by no means expert in Audio matters, more "fly by the seat of my pants".
It would be a good idea to install Timeshift and take a full snapshot of your system so that if things go wrong, you can recover.

Further, by running a Google under keywords "linux "hdmi" sound Sunrise Point-H HD Audio" - I found a number of articles which may be of assistance, but I have not the time to go through them all at the moment. Putting the quotes around hdmi restricts the search to showing hdmi answers.
See how you go with the above first, and we'll hope that someone better-versed in audio bails us (me) out

Good luck. If you find an answer that works for you, perhaps you can come back and share it with us, to expand our knowledge base.

Damn! I am not surprised you have something less than a smile . I was hoping

HDMI is an area I would really like to get into, but I just haven't the time for now with my other commitments here and elsewhere.
Did you make the acquaintance of Timeshift yet?

In the sound settings, in Output tab the built-in-audio was set to Analog Stereo Duplex. Change the mode to HDMI output Stereo. Note that you must be connected to an external monitor through a HDMI cable to see HDMI output option. ... Click on it and enjoy the sound of music
