Fabrizio Gennari, the WORKAROUND documented in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#HDMI_Audio would be the current method of enablement going forward due to commit 108dc8e8b44a4c64ac53676cc05f6234340ccd4a so further testing at this point is unnecessary. I'll mark this Triaged for now, and we can keep an eye on upstream progress towards this chipset:

    drm/radeon: rework audio option
    In 3.12 I changed audio to be enabled by default, but you still had to turn it on via xrandr. This was confusing to users so change it to minic the previous behavior:
    - audio option is set to -1 (auto) by default which is the current 3.12 behavior (audio is enabled but requires xrandr to turn it on).
    - if audio = 1, the audio is enabled without needing to mess with xrandr (previous behavior)
    - audio = 0 disables audio
    It retains the new feature of allowing the user to enable audio on the fly with xrandr, but turns audio on automatically if radeon.audio=1 is set which is what most users expect.

Title:
  1002:9715 HDMI: no sound

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Since the 11.10 upgrade, when Digital stereo (HDMI) is chosen as audio
  ouptut (audio settings, Output tab), no sound comes, and video
  playback is very fast, as if there's no pause between frames.

  There are 2 entries in the output tab. One is RS880 Audio Device
  [Radeon HD 4200] Digital Stereo [HDMI], the other is Internal audio
  stereo analog.

  No problems when the other output is selected. Even video oplayback is
  OK.

  Some search results say that this happen when the HDMI monoitor is
  disconnected and HDMI is selected. In this case, the monitor is
  connected with HDMI and video has no problem. Also. the exact same
  configuration did not have this problem in 11.04

  WORKAROUND: adding "radeon.audio=1" to your GRUB boot options.
