I'm not sure if this is right... I'm pretty sure this amp has a HDMI repeater although I could be mistaken.

I havce tried adding the following to /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia
pcm.iec958 hdmi:NVidia
Still no sound.
Based on the above test it seems audio is working via HDMI when Windows is the O/S. Although there is no mention of Video or if XBMC was being run at the time.
