Hi Renaud & David OK you can tell from my reply that I'm in no way a technical person but am an enthusiastic supporter and promoter of Ubuntu. Therefore, what I don't understand from your reply David is that in earlier releases of Ubuntu (10 series), when presumably there were individual modules that dealt with audio over HDMI my Dell Studio Hybrid systems worked fine. Now that these individual modules have been combined into one in Ubuntu (11 series) audio over HDMI just doesn't work. Surely this points to where the problem lies?

Latest kernel versions don't have atihdmi, nvhdmi and intelhdmi. They instead only have one snd-hda-codec-hdmi module that covers all of them. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/793592 Title: [Studio Hybrid 140g, Realtek ALC888, Black Digital Out, HDMI] No sound at all Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Dell Studio Hybrid 140g produced sound via HDMI in earlier versions of Ubuntu.
