I have been trying to read this to set my hdmi audio for my htpc the samples I have seen when looking in guides have had the hdmi clearly there amongst analog and others however when I run aplay -l I get hdmi on all devices how do I know which is the correct one to enter with audio output
I only have one hdmi video card installed yet i get the following

root ~ # aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

unfortunately there's no way to figure out which is the correct one other than just selecting each subdevice and trying it out......
