I have a fresh install of 12.2 (2:12.2~git20130525.1043-vpp-0precis) on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I'm using ALC898 sound hardware through the HDMI port powered by an Intel HD 4000 GPU.

Video is working fine using HDMI3, but the problem I'm having is with audio over HDMI. In the Audio set up I'm only given options for HDMI #0 and HDMI #1 - but I need an option for HDMI #2. From the log it looks like XBMC isn't enumerating the third port from ALSA.

Playing audio via: aplay -D plughw:0,8 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
works just fine.

Does anyone have suggestions? xbmc.log and aplay -L output are below...

Try to delay your xbmc start, if you are doing it via a script, it might very well be that the Sound card is not yet fully up and therefore enumeration fails. There are multiple posts in this forum, that handle the problem. Fix is just to wait until udev process has finished, then start xbmc.
