I know a few people (including myself) are having issues getting HDMI Audio working with XBMC Live RC1 and the Zoltac IONITX series MBs.
After reading and reading and reading, I finally found what worked for me and may work for you...
Go into System --> System --> Audio Output
Change both Audio Output Device and Passthrough Device = "Custom". You wil now have a blank line underneath each. Give each a value of "plug:hdmi" (no quotes).
I don't know if it is required or not, but I rebooted my HTPC and I now have audio over HDMI. This worked on my IONITX-A-U but may work on other models. FYI...I am going directly from my HTPC to my TV (no A/V receiver).
