Hi, your HDMI sound will only work, if your kernel/drm will suppoprt your video-hardware.
In my case I am using a AMD Radeon 6850 card + (oss) radeon driver. You can check if you have hdmi sound support by checking what your kernel log output says dmesg | grep audio [drm] Enabling audio support As far as I know, you will need kernel 3.5-rc3 (or newer) to get working HDMI sound (in case of most AMD 6xxx cards).

Finally, FWIW, HDMI sound works fine under Windows 7. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
