Is there any > setting that will make audio output default to the HDMI port? From memory, there are actually several ways to do this. My preferred method is via kernel module options. E.g. for a system where I had the opposite problem (sound would default to HDMI instead of the on-board sound, both handled by the snd-hda-intel module) I have this: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel-index.conf # change order of devices options snd-hda-intel index=1,0 (a rebuild of the initramfs and a reboot is required as far as I recall) There are various other values possible, including negative (e.g. if a specific device should always have lower priority). The same should be possible by (re-)defining the 'default' output in ALSA, usually with some /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc magic (a quick search points to the same entries you already tried), though I'm not sure how that will interact with PulseAudio and/or various applications using ALSA directly.
