HDMI Sound in Slackware64 14.2

Phew! Gotta blow some dust off the ol' blog! Anyway, I recently installed Slackware64 14.2 and AlienBob's Plasma 5 packages. I was struggling to get HDMI sound to work. After lots of searching, trial, and error, I finally figured it out. I found that I had to go to the Configuration tab in pavucontrol. There were two options for built-in audio. The one profile said "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output." I left that one alone. The other one said "Analog Stereo Output." I had to change that one to "Off." Then it worked fine.
