I'm running an GT220 card and can confirm the audio over hdmi is working with a 2.6.33 kernel, a recent alsa-driver snapshot (not all recent ones seem to compile..) on my archlinux setup using nvidia 195.36.15 drivers.
I do, however, stil have trouble playing multichannel audio with 44.1 kHz DTS files (DTS wav) which is only possible as stereo, when I set audio settings to 5.1 I get noise. (see this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=59877 )
Also when I run speaker-test I get no errors but also no sound.
Downgrading my nvidia drivers to an older version seems to be a bit problematic on my archlinux setup (xorg not happy etc) so I have not tried that. Also I read somewhere that the GTX card should have proper multichannel sound using the latest nvidia drivers.
Could someone confirm this issue? And maybe some archlinux guru who knows how to downgrade my nvidia drivers? (my post in the archlinux forums is still unanswered)
Thanks in advance
