Title:
  [ATI HDMI] HDMI Audio Disabled by Default (since oneiric)

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since kernel 3.0, upstream has disabled audio output for all ATI cards
  in the Radeon driver by default.

  === Workaround 1 ===

  Edit /etc/default/grub and change this line:

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  to this line

  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1"

  Now run "sudo update-grub", then reboot your computer.

  === Or workaround 2 ===

  Install the proprietary Catalyst driver.

  ===

  There's no sound at all and videos playback in fast forward when
  outputting through the HDMI controller. This is a regression since it
  worked well in previous releases.
