Hmmm.  This is confusing.  Using 7 in that line resulted in a no
device found error.  But it got me wondering, so I went thru all of my
listed devices with DEV=7, and found one that works.

ALSA:dmix:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7

This is good, but I dont understand why the HDMI line does not.

I have an
ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1*
ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=2
ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3

*A connection is found by MythTV.  Clicking "Test" yields the test
hiss in alternating speakers.  No sound when playing a recording.

Also:
ALSA:hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
ALSA:hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7**
ALSA:hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=8
ALSA:hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=9
**A connection is found by MythTV.  Clicking "Test" yields the test
hiss in alternating speakers.  I hear a fast fluttering sound when
playing a recording.

Also:
ALSA:plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
ALSA:plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7**
ALSA:plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=8
ALSA:plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=9
