Yes, inability to passthrough HD Audio is a known problem with recent Intel hardware and Linux - see the Intel Apollo Lake thread.
Your original post was confusing because you said:

Until the issue is fixed in Intel hardware (firmware) and Linux kernel there's nothing anyone can do. If you must have HD Audio passthrough (not entirely sure why - PCM is just as good) then my current advice would be to avoid Intel.
