EVGA-GeForce GT 520 HDMI sound

I need to know if anyone has successfully gotten sound to work using the EVGA-GeForce GT 520 video card connected with HDMI to an hd tv on any flavor of linux on any desktop.

It matters not what flavor of linux you used. I just want to know if it works for someone. If so I'll give it another shot but for now I don't think the sound is working in Linux for this card. I would ask nvidia's forums/support but they are down for maintenance.

Basically I was trying to set up a machine to use MythTv and I was hoping to use HDMI to play back video I recorded. I never got to the MythTv set up because I can't get sound even though the video works great.

I maxed out all of the volumes unmuted everything (including on the tv), tried random suggestions from the web, made sure I had the latest alsa, and finally I gave up. Unless I hook up external speakers I'm not going to get sound. BTW - everything seemed to be set up correctly. The video card and sound was being detected properly.

At this point I'm thinking about installing Windows 7 (gasp) on this machine and using Media Player (gasp) for the DVR features. I hear it works fairly well. However, I'm a geek and I want to use MythTv in Linux.

Thanks!
