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).
