Quite possibly it could help you to boot including the bolded Grub linux cmdline parameters I use above.

Are any of the A/V related packages I have installed missing on yours? You could have a much longer list, but are any I do have missing on yours? I don't have VLC or SMplayer or Kodi or MPV or other media players other than those in web browsers installed on this (yet).
Code:
# aplay /usr/local/share/sound/alsa/test.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/local/share/sound/alsa/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
#
Aplay is a low level player. Can you get any sound via HDMI using it? On mine, with 4 connected displays, sound is automatically coming from the speakers using the only HDMI connection. If no sound, try adding option
-D hdmi.
