The aplay -lv and this agree, that your sound devices are
hdmi:0,[3,7,8,9,10]
I'm not sure why the aplay -L isn't showing the same thing.
The alternative method should have found one of these as the correct
output in order to give you sound. You then would have to somehow tell
pipewire to use that device.
Online, I see that people are using pavucontrol with pipewire
successfully. If you can do that, it should be easy to fix this.
Just go into pavucontrol and, while music is playing (even if there is
no sound), set the default device to the each of the hdmi outputs in
turn,
hdmi:0,3 hdmi:0,7 etc.
When one of them outputs sound, leave it as the default. You then
don't have to worry about translating the alsa form into the pipewire
form; pavucontrol will have done it for you.
