Will the person who recommended the GT210 own up ?

The HDMI audio is not hard to debug sort out..
You need to use the nVidia driver.
It is recommended to use alsa 1.0.24 user-space.
A std $5-$10 HDMI cable is fine.

What distro kernel are you running ?

Post your
aplay -l

You will likely get devices like
hw:1,3
hw:1,7
hw:1,8
hw:1,9

Then try
speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:1,n
where n= [9, 8, 7,3]
close/reopen the terminal each time for good measure..
