Sorry yes. 

Initially I couldn't get html5 to play sound at all and cam across this

My motherboard is Asus Z87-K. The default aplay -l seemed to confirm the above 
statement 

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital]    
                                                                                
                                                                             
  Subdevices: 1/1                                                               
                                                                                
                                                                             
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0                               


So I attempted to blacklist the HDMI module. This was my attempt 
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


/etc/modprobe.d/

# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture        
                                                                                
                                                                             
#                                                                               
                                                                                
                                                                             
options snd_hda_codec_hdmi index=-2       


Which seemed to successfully stop the module snd_hda_codec_hdmi from being 
loaded and also resulted in aplay no longer being able to find card 0. My 
initial solution was not to black Card 0 and with my .asoundrc for Scenario 1 
would make no difference.
