I'm having the same problem with `aplay -L`. None of my digital outs show up. Based on what I've read so far, I'd expect you to see devices under two different codecs one of which would be an nvidia HDMI codec. From the output you've shown so far, it looks like both of your devices are on a Realtek codec. At the very top of the output from `cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#X` where X is the number should have a "Codec: XXX" line. On my similar motherboard, I see both codec#0 (my VIA standard mobo analog and digital outputs) and codec#3 (my not yet working nvidia HDMI). If you've got the nvidia HDMI codec compiled and loaded then maybe check your BIOS to see that the HDMI audio device is enabled? On my mobo there are choices for internal, external and both where internal is the HDMI. Hope that helps. Really would love to hear if you figure out the `aplay -L` mystery. It seems it should be showing at least one digital output.
