I got my sound card info:

card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]

But the below instruction don't show how to ammend this info:

"Function: Default system sound card
Parameter: default_sound_card
Description:
Set the default sound card in case you have no sound in the system or when you want to redirect the sound output to external monitor/TV. Data for the parameter can be obtained by running 'aplay -l' command on a Linux system booted on the target hardware. Sample output for card 0, device 9:
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]
If the parameter is not present then device 0, card 0 is set as default sound card (if available in the system).
The following parameter value format must be preserved: 'card.device'.
Examples:
default_sound_card=0.1
default_sound_card=0.3
default_sound_card=1.0"



What text line must I add to config file to make my audio work? Thanks!

Hi audiophile,

See the description:
The following parameter value format must be preserved: 'card.device'.

If your sound card is really this one (I actually doubt this - more than likely you have copied this output from the parameter description):
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 3 [HDMI 3]

the you should use this parameter:
default_sound_card=0.9

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I tried that. I was able to figure out you had to put put 0.9. although this didn't work and also removing the default sound card line didn't work either.
You said I probably put the wrong information I typed the command in the terminal and that's what came up for the information how else do I get that information about the sound card?

Thanks
