Full Version: Passthrough Output does not list HDMI audio in Frodo

I'm trying to setup pass through audio through my HDMI output to my 5.1 receiver.

The "Audio output device" shows all three of my output devices: HDMI, Analog, and S/PDIF (which is a motherboard header not connected).

However the "Passthrough output device" only lists the S/PDIF output and has no other options.

Here is the output from aplay -l

Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: VT1708BCE Analog [VT1708BCE Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 1: VT1708BCE Digital [VT1708BCE Digital]

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 2: VT1708BCE HP [VT1708BCE HP]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

and the output from aplay -L
