ubuntu 18.04 - no audio device listed

Hi there,
my UP board runs perfectly Ubuntu 18.04. I did install as well the fix for file /etc/pulse/default.pa like given as hint in the wiki.
However, when I open settings of Ubuntu and go to "Sound" I have still no device listed there. I try to get the Audio via the HDMI cable.
I'm sure you got that working. So those of you: could you pls help and tell me what's needed??
Thx in advance!!

for some reason pulseaudio did not start after boot/autologin. This fixed that:
systemctl --user enable pulseaudio && systemctl --user start pulseaudio

Hi @toko789 ,
You could check your HDMI devices here:
$ dmesg | grep HDMI
or
$ sudo aplay -l
hey ccalde, thx very much for you reaction.
dmesg:
however at the end I get as well
[ 4.421692] [drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead
and tons of lines like:
Audio Port: ASoC: no backend DAIs enabled for Audio Port
and aplay lists:
[email protected]:~# aplay -l

so there are devices listed and as well errors, but however in ubuntu 18.04 sound settings I still have none listed, and , well what's really the problem: I get no sound out of HDMI (BIOS settings are correct... I had before ubilinux installed on same board where sound did work flawlessly). Hope anybody finds any hint in this output?
@ccalde - you have maybe ANY idea?
or ANYBODY else?
Can you check in the BIOS if you have the boot settings for Windows or Linux/Android?
Also, just in case, try to reset the BIOS settings to default and then try again.
Have you rechecked all the connections?
