[Uriel Tunz <1371919@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joined this bug thread, then found the cause of the problem -- in my
case at least.

The connection from PC through AVR to TV was marginal (due to cable
length, one coupling connector, cable quality, routing, etc.). The
problem was undetectable except by these "no speaker allocation for ELD"
messages, but of course they gave no hint of the root cause.

When an inadvertent jostle made the intermittent connection obvious
(noticeable flickering), I redid the cabling and found no more of these
messages.

Should emphasize that this is the only action I took. It's likely, I
think, that these messages were generated by partial reinitializations
from interrupted signals in the connection.

The drivers and hardware have been rock solid. But without the
confidence of knowing that, I've spent way too many hours (in the past)
tinkering, when the trouble was simply in the link between devices.

Title:
  kern.log flooded with "HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD"

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a gigabyte f2a88xn motherboard with built-in audio.

  In pavucontrol, under Configuration -> Built-in audio (the first),
  there is "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output".

  When I disable it, the kern.log continuously reports "HDMI ATI/AMD: no
  speaker allocation for ELD".

  This happens almost every time.
