What version of Ubuntu? HDMI audio is supported in Jaunty (or any version of ALSA that is 1.0.18+) "cat /proc/asound/version"
If you are running Intrepid or lower you'll need to manually install a more recent version of ALSA (note: this will break apt support for that package)
If you're running Jaunty you probably just need to make a few config changes for HDMI audio.
Personally I find it best to slave HDMI audio off the analog using /etc/asound.conf, I have posts detailing how to do this in the HOWTO: XBMC set-top box thread for Hardy & Intrepid.
Once you've done that (my previous posts explain why this is good) you just need to unmute the HDMI Audio in the mixer (IEC958 1)
Cheers.
