I also have Skylake laptop (ASUS GL502VM) with a GTX 1060 which is always in Discrete mode (I can't use it in hybrid mode at all) and I have the same or similar problem (HDMI video: Ok / HDMI audio: Doesn't work). In my case "lspci -H1" doesn't even list the NVIDIA Audio device.
Any idea of how to fix this? ** Also affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1377653 Title: HDMI sound output not detected / NVIDIA optimus laptop Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, not sure if this is an alsa or nvidia/nouveau bug. HDMI audio output doesn't appear in sound settings output panel. Audio works well on internal speakers, but it seems there is no way to make it output to hdmi... The laptop has optimus NVIDIA+Intel. The behaviour is the same with nouveau or nvidia proprietary driver.
