Sorry yes.

My motherboard is Asus Z87-K. The default aplay -l seemed to confirm the above statement **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 So I attempted to blacklist the HDMI module. This was my attempt /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf /etc/modprobe.d/ # https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture # options snd_hda_codec_hdmi index=-2 Which seemed to successfully stop the module snd_hda_codec_hdmi from being loaded and also resulted in aplay no longer being able to find card 0. My initial solution was not to black Card 0 and with my .asoundrc for Scenario 1 would make no difference.
