Raymond, I tried using hdajackreset as you suggested and I did get the VT170BB 8-Ch Digital mapped to device 1 and the HDMI mapped to device 3. However, I still was not able to get sound in that configuration. I ran alsa-info.sh in that config and will attach the output.

Up until then, sound via HDMI worked fine. Now, I get no sound through HDMI. Checked the Sound Settings and alsa mixer and everything looks fine. If I hook up speakers to the microphone port I get sound. I used "ubuntu-bug -s audio" to report this bug (very nice BTW). If there is any additional information you need or anything you would like me to try, I am game for it.
