HDMI audio normally has some sort of limit in place. For my ATI HD4550 video card, the audio has to be transmitted in an AC3 codec(5.1 surround). AKA compressed, it will not work with PCM audio which might be where your making a connection is giving you trouble. That capability might depend on your graphics card, but that's the quirk of mine. Assuming that your HDMI audio is provided via a graphics card. Maybe alsa can handle the AC3 conversion transparently / internally, or NOT. It's seems a bit destined for problems IMO, so I just avoid the issue with an RCA cable from a dedicated soundcard. Fortunately my HDTV has a channel with HDMI/DVI input and RCA audio input so running that machine on a 42" display is possible. If my graphics card does handle PCM audio over HDMI, it's probably limited to 2 channels, 48kHz, 16 bit, and all that jazz. Maybe even 44.1kHz. I really haven't checked the specs that recently on it. But I only have one receiving device for HDMI audio (HDTV) so it's not a priority to explore for me. Which is kind of ironic since the audio device registers and an hda-intel device. AKA high definition audio. But the limits are listed in the manual. Not that I've looked at it in the past year+.
