I have no clue why. Power supply issues shouldn't be possible (2A output) and dmesg shows no differences.
Never use the bcm2835 ALSA device. It doesn't let you choose analogue/hdmi output and it is much less efficient than "PI: HDMI" or "PI: Analogue".
It's just enabled as part of the testing for external ALSA sound cards.
