Just wanted to chime in to report I have the exact same problem (using Ubuntu 16.04), with the same GPU, GTX 1060 (in an MSI Apache Pro).
No matter what I do, I cannot get the HDMI sound device to show up...

One thing that changed things for me is if I restart the PC with the HDMI cable plugged in, I do get the HDMI device - but unfortunately it completely messes up the screens (it somehow thinks the external TV is my main monitor, laptop screen becomes unclickable... it really is a mess).

Could this be connected to the graphics card drivers? I'm using the latest from the Ubuntu packages, 375.
