Wow, then is the HDMI cable connected inside the device?

Anyway, "IEC958 Playback Switch" should be turned on for HDMI.

	% amixer -c1 IEC958 on

Another issue is that HDMI audio is always through the video chip,
thus the audio stuff is also controlled by the video driver.
IIRC, ATI fglrx has a certain level of support for HDMI audio, but not
sure about other drivers.
