Hi, I'm totally new to Linux and Mint. I have a desktop computer with Linux Mint 18,3 Sylvia MATE 64 bit.
MATE 1.18.0
Kernel Linux 4.13.0-45-generic x86_64
Geforce gtx 1050
LG TV monitor with hdmi cable.
I can't get the Sound Preferences setting to stick to the hda nvidia in the Hardware tab. I get 3 options for Digital Stereo hdmi output, and #2 works when I test the left/right speakers. but then in the Output tab, there is no hdmi option, only Built in audio analog stereo.
If I click on Digital Stereo hdmi output and close the Sound Preferences window, the next time I open it, it's back to the Analog stereo option.
I was able to choose the hdmi option before, because I got it to work, but something has happened.
Any help would be appreciated!

Re: problem with nvidia hdmi sound options
You might try installing
pavucontrol from the software manager. See if setting the audio there works for you."There is, ultimately, only one truth -- cogito, ergo sum -- everything else is an assumption." - Me, my swansong.
