(SOLVED) HDMI Sound Output - Can't set to right output

Using Zorin Lite, Fresh install from earlier today(March 29, 2015).

I'm using an HDMI video/audio card. It shows up as 4 devices. I cannot find a way to set the system to use the correct output.

But! In Audacious I can select the appropriate output and it works just fine. In Audacious, the device is listed as:
hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 (HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output)

The list offers DEV=0 through DEV=3. I assume that the system itself defaulted to DEV=0.

Is anyone willing/able to point me to the config file that I will need to edit and what to look for and what to enter to get the system to use the right output? (I know how to use su and whatever console editor is available in zorin, if not, I can send it to leafpad from the console, just need to know what file, where it's as and what to look for and change)

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance,
~Garrett

Hi Garret,

in Zorin Lite, you should install Pulse Audio Manager (paman) and work with that:

To install, use the following terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install paman faac flac libsox-fmt-all sox


See this thread also:

Wolfman, thank you very much... I can now hear Buffalo Springfield pumping through the speakers. Ironically enough it's "Stop, hey, what's that sound". :-)

Thanks and best regards,
