Correct nvidia driver

My graphics card:

Code:

$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GF119M [NVS 4200M] driver: nouveau v: kernel
  Device-2: Sunplus Innovation Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_FHD type: USB
    driver: uvcvideo
  Display: x11 server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.7 driver: X: loaded: modesetting
    unloaded: fbdev,vesa dri: nouveau gpu: nouveau resolution: 1: 1920x1080~60Hz
    2: 1366x768~60Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.3 Mesa 22.3.6 renderer: NVD9


On previous installs I have used the nvidia 340.108 driver.

The nvidia website says to use 390.157

Which is the correct driver

Due antiX forums topic, nVidia drivers does not work corretly in new Debian, so better to use Noveau driver. If modesetting driver is working ok, let it be.

The noveau driver works fine for the video however I'm not able to send hdmi sound to my tv that i'm using as an external monitor.

How about if you open pavucontrol and select different output device (hdmi)?

Current settings:

You can blacklist your audio device to default to the one you frequently use. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
and add the one you do not want it to default to as in my setup here. Yours will probably different.
blacklist snd_usb_audio
Now in the sound setting snd_usb_audio does not show.

The issue I'm having is that I am unable to transfer hdmi audio to my TV that I'm using as an external monitor.
I have pavucontrol installed and when playing a YouTube video I see the audio playing in Mercury browser but it isn't being sent to the TV

On my PCLOS-Mate-Main and nvidia driver installed the hdmi audio is transferred to the TV, is there a way to accomplish this without the nvidia driver

Is this only in the Mercury browser you get no sound on Youtube? Is the videos you are watching muted as shown?  

Any application involving sound Hypnotix, Click Radio, mpv Media Player, etc pavucontrol shows the audio is playing  but isn't sent to the TV.
Nothing is muted, I have this same issue with Community Releases LXQT and Trinity as I have been unable to install the nvidia driver in them.

Code:

aplay -l

Make sure your volume is up on your TV and test.

Code:

speaker-test hw:HDMI

Code:

~$ aplay -l

Is your connection to the TV using a straight HDMI to HDMI cable or are you using an adaptor in the line?

HDMI to HDMI straight cable.
