I don't use gnome, but I tried speaker-test and aplay, in vain.

I use VLC, not mplayer, though I doubt that that is the problem.

Do you use Gnome ? It has a sound test utility which can  test HDMI
audio output.
If there is sound in test utility. Try to upgrade mplayer, it had a
bug fixed in HDMI audio.

Thanks, but the video works flawlessly, and the TV works fine with
audio and video over HDMI from cable boxen, PS3s, etc.

Anyhow, thanks, and I'll keep trying.

Hello,

You might have multiple issues, depending on what (if any) other new
hardware you are using and have not previously been successful using
with HDMI.

Just a stab in the dark, but, do some research on HDCP 
(HIGH-BANDWIDTH DIGITAL CONTENT PROTECTION) and make 
sure that's not your issue, nor related to your equipment
configuration. That is, if you are outputting HDMI based
audio and video from a computer and trying to make it
all happy with a 1080p TV/monitor/audio type of setup


Somehow find a way to test each component and make sure
it's working. You may need to fiddle with the setting 
of the HDMI receiving device, or contact the manufacture
and find out if the device employs HDCP, it can be
turned off, or any other ideas the manufacture may have.


Being you are a pioneer in this area, you might want
to track down a 'HDMI Bus Analyzer' or a friend that
has one:

good hunting and good luck!
