We need the right player "foobar2000_v1.2"
http://www.foobar2000.org/

Driver - "ASIO4ALL_2_10_English"
http://www.asio4all.com/

And component for foobar to use them together - "foo_out_asio.fb2k-component"
http://www.foobar2000.org/components

It will not work, if not configured correctly. Also we should kill all sound related programs which may conflict.

Check if the component in the right place (picture below):

Set output device like this (picture below):

Now try play some file, i guess all outputs are muted by default, so unmute them if it looks like playing bud no sound.

Also select only one output device in the Device list. Restart Foobar after that.

Final indication if we done everything correctly (picture below):

"This software uses code of FFmpeg licensed under the LGPLv2.1 and its source can be downloaded here", taken from http://www.foobar2000.org/download

So I believe, for Linux no need special installs or configurations, the sound not messed up by default.

I install alsa-driver-1.0.25 from source, because default version 1.0.23 did not see "Nvidia GPU 14 HDMI/DP"

It can be tested with
$ alsamixer

By pressing F6 and selecting Sound Card:

After installation all outputs was muted by default, so I unmute, by selecting and pressing key "m".

Then start investigating my hardware, for more details:

$ aplay -l

In the terminal it work just fine. I can make audio output by specifying playback device.

For example HDMI audio played with:
$ aplay -D plughw:1,9 some_audio_file.wav
$ mplayer some_audio_file.wav -ao alsa:device=hw=1.9

PC analog output (green socket, in the back) played with:
$ aplay -D plughw:0,0 some_audio_file.wav
$ mplayer some_audio_file.wav -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0

PC analog output is the default playback so it also played with:
$ aplay some_audio_file.wav
$ mplayer some_audio_file.wav

To make HDMI playback by default instead of PC analog output (green socket, in the back).

It Need to create a file ~/.asoundrc
Hidden file in a home directory, with a content like this:

$ cat ./.asoundrc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# HDMI configuration with volume control

# Instructions for use
# 1) Find your hmdi hardware Card Number and Device Number. Open a terminal and do:
# aplay -L
# That will list all of the hardware audio devices. Look for the one labeled HDMI.
# Note what Card Number and Device Number it lists (they seem to be card 0,
# device 3 but your system may be different).
# 2) Edit the pcm.hdmi_hw device defined here to set your Card Number and Device Number.
# 3) Put this file in either /etc/asound.conf or in your home directory as .asoundrc.
# sudo cp jons_asound.conf /etc/asound.conf
# or
# sudo cp jons_asound.conf $HOME/.asound.conf
# 4) Exit mythfrontend. Then restart the sound system:
# sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
# 5) Start mythfrontend and go to the audio setup screen
# "Utilities / Setup" then "Setup" then "General" then "Next" until you
# get to the Audio tab.
# 6) Fill in the info - it's case sensitive:
# Audio output device: ALSA:hdmi_complete <--- note you have to type in this field
# Passthrough output devide: Default
# ... Stereo... ... Passive...
# Mixer Device: ALSA:default
# Mixer controls: hdmi_volume <--- type in this field
# 7) Work your way back to Watch TV and give it a try.

pcm.hdmi_hw {
type hw
card 1 # <----- Put your card number here
device 9 # <----- Put your device number here
}

pcm.hdmi_formatted {
type plug
slave {
pcm hdmi_hw
rate 48000
channels 2
}
}

pcm.hdmi_complete {
type softvol
slave.pcm hdmi_formatted
control.name hdmi_volume
control.card 1
}

pcm.!default hdmi_complete
