Yes, the two HDMI ports is probably the issue, I only have one on mine.

At this point I would probably try creating /etc/asound.conf with something
like this in it:

pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 7
}

ctl.!default {
    type hw           
    card 0
    device 7
}


Restart and see if that works.
