xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default

There is a possibility that this is related to this answer, as it is explained in more details here, it seems that you have to enable the GPU's PCI audio function.

Here is one posible solution to this problem, copied from that other answer

  1. Create file /etc/systemd/system/fix-hdmi-audio.service

    [Unit]
Description=nVidia HDMI Audio Fixer
Before=systemd-logind.service display-manager.service
After=module-init-tools.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

  2. Create file /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh

    #!/bin/sh
setpci -s 01:00.0 0x488.l=0x2000000:0x2000000
rmmod nvidia-uvm nvidia-drm nvidia-modeset nvidia
sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/remove'
sh -c 'echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:01.0/rescan'
modprobe nvidia nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm nvidia-uvm

  3. and set it to runnable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/fix-hdmi-audio.sh

  4. Enable the service: systemctl enable fix-hdmi-audio.service
  5. Install apt install pavucontrol then start "PulseAudio Volume Control". In "Configuration" tab, you can see only "Internal Audio".
  6. Reboot. Plug HDMI and play some music. Start "PulseAudio Volume Control". In "Configuration" tab, you should see "Internal Audio" and "HDA NVidia". In "Playback" tab, there is a button on the right side of your music player. You can choose "Internal Audio" or "HDA NVidia". Choose "HDA NVidia".
