All,

I am not getting any sound through HDMI. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 4700U CPU with integrated Renior Graphics. I checked the device and it is not muted. Does anyone have any ideas?

Maybe a stupid question, but is your output stream directed to the
output your want?
Check pavucontrol.

Everything looks good in pavucontrol. HDMI2 is the port I am trying to get working. 

One thing I do not get is that the device is AMD but it is using Intel's sound driver.

Some of the HD-Audio chips use an Intel driver. They are also on AMD
socket motherboards.

I also have such a motherboard and sound works.
But the HD-Audio on the Motherboard is NOT the HDMI output. The HDMI
output is on the graphics card.

This might also be the snd_hda_intel kernel module, here GeForce 210.

+1, The HDMI might be more useful from a graphic card point of view.
On the sound card you might have a digital connection (£EG: SPDIF) or
sound connections.

Just caught the tail end of this and thought I'd add in my $0,02 worth of
experience.

Using the latest Debian stable with KDE I had my PCMCIA sound come up
"silent." Toying with KDE's controls and changing the sound driver and output
(a confusing thing because there are multiple locations/widgets to do this)
would fix the problem.

At the same time the video (again, PCMCIA) would intermittently "blink"
hinting at a driver issue.

But sometime an apt-get update (or a reboot?) somehow seemed to fix things
-- it no longer experiences those problems.

I would stop pulseaudio and test `aplay sample.wav`
using the device option to target various alsa devices.
Once you've found the HDMI device that works, you
can set it as the default device.
