I just ran test to see where my problem lies... and it turns out to be with
the PC/Myth/Ubuntu.

I pulled a dvd player that had DVI out RCA audio and I hooked it through the
HDMI1 port on the tv and I got both sound and video.

[EDIT]

I found a post that describes my issue to a "T" (
http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t88272.html) and modifying
the xorg worked but now the picture is jacked up...
*
Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Default Screen"
    Monitor        "Configured Monitor"
    Device        "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth    24
        Option         "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "True"
        Option         "UseEdid" "FALSE"*


Below from the NVidia appendix doesn't seem to have the option for only
turning of the sound, anyone else have any ideas???

*Option "UseEdidFreqs" "boolean"*

*This option controls whether the NVIDIA X driver will use the HorizSync and
VertRefresh ranges given in a display device's EDID, if any. When
UseEdidFreqs is set to True, EDID-provided range information will override
the HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges specified in the Monitor section. If a
display device does not provide an EDID, or the EDID does not specify an
hsync or vrefresh range, then the X server will default to the HorizSync and
VertRefresh ranges specified in the Monitor section of your X config file.
These frequency ranges are used when validating modes for your display
device.*

*Default: True (EDID frequencies will be used)*
*Option "UseEDID" "boolean"*

*By default, the NVIDIA X driver makes use of a display device's EDID, when
available, during construction of its mode pool. The EDID is used as a
source for possible modes, for valid frequency ranges, and for collecting
data on the physical dimensions of the display device for computing the DPI
(see Appendix Y, Dots Per
Inch<http://http.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8774/README/appendix-y.html>).
However, if you wish to disable the driver's use of the EDID, you can set
this option to False:*

*    Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"
*

*Note that, rather than globally disable all uses of the EDID, you can
individually disable each particular use of the EDID; e.g.,*

*    Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "FALSE"
    Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"
    Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
*

*Default: True (use EDID).*
