Ok I found out more, it can work but I have to do a step first. My testing before was pulseaudio then alsa but I never went back to notice that pulse started working. It seems on my hdmi output that after ever boot I have to use 1,9 first then it initializes 1,3 1,7 1,8 and they work fine after that. So all I need to know is how can I force Pulse Audio to use plughw:1,9 always instead of the first detected 1,3?
