I have a laptop with an NVidia 8600M/HDMI output and audio works through
HDMI, but I have only stereo output, no 5.1 (but maybe it's possible),
using nvidia binary driver (I don't know if it works with the nv
driver). I think all nvidia cards with an HDMI out will work (at least
with the binary driver) although you should check before buying.

I also have a Gigabyte with an intel G45 (GMA X4500HD) with an
integrated HDMI out. When I was testing sound through HDMI was not
available but from what I've read sound should now work since alsa
1.0.18 (but I didn't try it since I use an optical SPDIF cable).

- From what I know it should also work on ATI cards.

Anyway you should check on alsa website :
