[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulse audio does not work with my hdmi output

[Dark Shadow]

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?
