first thing in there is _pulseaudio_. Did you even read what everyone else in this thread did to solve the issue?
Why do you even have pulse installed, this is not default on xbmcbuntu, so you installed it yourself.

AIUI, if it's appearing, something's wrong - PulseAudio's interfering with the other underlying audio subsystem (Alsa). Ensure it's removed completely (there arenumerous forum posts to guide you through this)

Does that mean you have sound if you drop to a XBMCbuntu desktop but not once you start XBMC itself?

that' s right. i uninstalled pulseaudio like it mention on first page. after this i have sound over hdmi wenn i'm on xbmcubuntu desktop. but wenn i switch back to xbmc alone there is no sound and in sound settings (on both) only is the message error-no sound device installed
i've done this
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins
sudo reboot

Because you are dedicated to alternatives except removing Pulseaudio? idk but my guess is user error, Im very good at recognising what I myself been guilty of.

I was just giving an alternative solution for users that don't want to completely get rid of pulseaudio. I did this with the best intenions. Why so rude ?

I started experiencing the same issue as the other people in this thread after upgrading my XBMCBuntu install from 12.2 to 12.3 via the official PPA. As best I can tell from looking at my apt logs, it appears that pulse was installed 8 months ago, but must have been disabled until the upgrade.
I didn't even notice anything had changed until I realized that my custom ALSA 5.1 mappings were no longer taking effect (XBMC/ALSA, and apparently pulseaudio get it wrong out of the box for my nVidia ION HDMI chipset). I then noticed that DTS and AC3 videos had no sound at all, indicating that there was a passthrough problem. I then checked XBMC's audio settings and it said it was using PulseAudio for normal output and HDMI for passthrough.
At any rate, following fritsch's instructions to remove pulse fixed things for me too.
