[TEN <1169984@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also affects Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin which freezes most of the
time when trying to use HDMI audio (in particular from vdr-sxfe,
mplayer, vlc, google-talkplugin) up to and including the current Kernel
3.2.0-49 without including snd_hda_codec_hdmi in /etc/modprobe.d
/blacklist-oss.conf (thereby losing sound over the Nvidia outputs).

According to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173769 #3 "a
kernel issue which most likely is to happen with Nvidia graphics", this
is also not fixed by using https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-
dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+files/oem-audio-hda-daily-
dkms_0.201307180553%7Eprecise1_all.deb according to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984 #16.

Bug description:
  <Release note text>
   * There are reports of non-functional HDMI audio on various machines, even with proprietary drivers. In some cases analog built-in audio is affected too. Typically the the audio device does not show up in sound settings at all.  ([[https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169984 | LP: #1169984]]
  </Release note text>

  === Current recommended workaround ===

  Hopefully there'll soon be a proposed kernel to test instead, but if you can't wait, simplest is to:
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS

  === Alternate workaround ===
  IF you have no intention to use the HDMI audio, blacklisting the HDMI audio module will probably prevent this issue. The following commands should do it:
  echo "blacklist snd-hda-codec-hdmi | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklisthmdi.conf
  sudo depmod -a
  (Reboot)

  Sound card is no longer detected in the latest upgrade.
