drivers - No audio through HDMI - nvidia gfx

I have read a lot of posts about this, mainly it is people with ATI cards or people that havnt got the option to choose HDMI audio. But it just ain't my problem, afaik.



I have installed my Graphics card, and hooked up my old labtop to the TV as a media center, videofeed is going through nicely. But the sound is lacking, even though the HDMI output is selected, then it stills outputs the sound through the labtop.
I have got a nvidia 9500M(as far as i remember) updated the drivers like this



At the bottom you will see an image with my option to select HDMI, but no mode or a like is available but the option is there.



Hopes someone can help me. Thanks



EDIT 1:
Okay so have tried what was written, running alsamixer (really not sure what I can do within it though there is nothing directly mentioned as HDMI, could not turn up volume for S/PDIF it was locked on 00, screenshot at the bottom.)
Also I installed pavucontrol, and tried it, did nothing.




What I find really weird is that when i switch from speakers to HDMI nothing happens, I still hear sound through the speakers, but if I change to S/PDIF then sound stops, also if switched to HDMI again. Until it has been switched back to speakers.
