I just installed Tumbleweed after running 12.3 for many years. It was running so good that I bypassed 42.1,42.2, 42.3, but finally decided to get updated.
The ALSA information of my system is in here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=35919922e2c6e14f4c695a66250af137e50107be
But there is no sound being played in my monitor speaker.
Some more information about my system:

As you can tell I am new to this forum, so straggling a bit to get the information out…
HDMI is listed second need to switch to it. Load pavucontrol and you should be able to select the output channel you want. Not this is set application by application. Or try changing ord in Yast sound. This may not work since both use HDA-Intel driver. Also note that today Pulse Audio is the controlling program for audio
In YaST2 - Sound, the Nvidia is set with Index 0, The C610/X99 Audio controller is not configured.

Specifically, check the profile in the configuration tab of pavucontrol. It might not be set correctly.
From a terminal, you can share that info using the following command…
pacmd list|grep output:
That will show available profiles and the currently active profile. Copy the output and post here. Make sure you enclose the output within
...[/COD.] tags (refer to the # button in the forum editor).
I missed this bit. If you have a /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file present (from a previous configuration attempt), can you please share the current configuration?
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf
You could also try removing it, and then check sound again (after checking/setting the profile in pavucontrol).

The Nvidia is the only device active.
Ok, that output confirms that your current active profile is HDMI stereo, and that you have both HDMI and analog sound outpus to choose from. Both cards are active.

The 50-sound.conf file looks very generic.
Further from what I can see from the pacmd, your HDMI is not yet recognized by pavucontrol as being available. Or am I reading that wrong ?
If I am reading it wrong, then you should be able to choose HDMI in pavucontrol under the config tab.
If you have the chance, running a diagnostic script to provide a comprehensive audio configuration may help shed some light on this - as opposed to a random approach asking for bits and pieces of information at a time. If you are willing do do such, could you in an xterm or konsole, as a regular user, with PC connected to the Internet, send the command:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
and select the ‘upload/share’ option when prompted for such. Let the script run to completion. Then look in the xterm/konsole and it will provide you the URL/web-address to share. Please post that URL/web address here, so that we can then check your PC audio software/hardware configuration.
That may yield more clues as to what is happening.

It appears to me that the current active profile IS HDMI stereo. That will reflect the chosen profile in pavucontrol. However, it’s not yet clear to me why there is no sound output.

The OP has done that already. Refer to the link in their opening post.

The pavucontrol shows the HDMI output(s) as (unplugged).
Trying to figure out how to post a screen shot to show exactly what I have, but having a hard time doing that…eventually.

I just uninstalled pulseaudio, deleted .config/pulse & etc/pulse and reboot, install pulseaudio, reboot…nothing changed, still no sound.thru the HDMI.
Note: I have not been able to post a screenshot on this forum, any pointers will be appreciated as it may be helpful in getting information out.

Can you report back with the output of the following?

I’m specifically interested in the ‘device.string’ and active HDMI port being reported.
Then run

Is the device.string and active HDMI port different now? Does pavucontrol now show the HDMI port as connected? Does sound now work through the HDMI connected monitor?

No difference in device.sting and active HDMI port…that I can see.
Ok, it was worth a shot. Does switching to VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and back to VT7 (Ctrl+Alt+F7) help with the ‘plugged’ status?
I also note that your alsa-info output revealed 3 possible HDMI devices for your NVIDIA hardware…
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Now, according to this Archwiki page…https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#HDMI_output_configuration
alsa.name = "HDMI 0"
alsa.id = "HDMI 0"
alsa.subdevice = "0"
alsa.subdevice_name = "subdevice #0"
alsa.device = "3"
alsa.card = "1"
Is there a chance that another HDMI device is actually connected? Do any of the following command strings result in audible sound?
aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
aplay -D plughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
aplay -D plughw:1,8 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
Apologies if on the wrong track here…remote diagnosis can be a challenge. :\
