Comment(by kris):

 Looks like its getting confused between the HDMI audio and regular analog:

 pcm0: <HDA Realtek ALC268 PCM #0 Analog> at cad 0 nid 1 on hdac0
 pcm1: <HDA NVidia MCP78 HDMI PCM #0 Digital> at cad 3 nid 1 on hdac0

 If you do "cat /dev/sndstat" can you send the output?

 Also, do you have a separate physical sound-card, or is this an on-board
 card with a nvidia video card?

 If we can't disable one of the devices, we may just need to put something
 in /etc/sysctl.conf:

 (from "man snd")

 hw.snd.default_unit
              Default sound card for systems with multiple sound cards.
 When
              using devfs(5), the default device for /dev/dsp.  Equivalent
 to a
              symlink from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp${hw.snd.default_unit}.

 So maybe give hw.snd.default_unit="0" a shot in sysctl.conf and reboot.
 Any improvement?
