Ok I have run the aforementioned test with the DVI to HDMI cable and no analog sound cable attached and the System Setting Sound dialog set to the HDMI video card sound chip. This does output sound from the test application but the "System Ready" sound still appears to be going out the analog output.
To clarify the "latency" problem I have been having using HDMI sound on the video card when the sound test application is run initially the "front left" sound is missing the "front" sound. After this it works fine until the System Settings dialog is exited and reentered then the "latency" problem occurs again. This also causes desktop notifications to be only partially output or not output at all when using the HDMI video card's sound device. This is why I have been using the analog output on the motherboard as the problem does not occur with it.. If you need more information or want me to try something I havn't tried or need me to test a proposed fix let me know and I will do so as soon as I can.
