Are you using the 4.04 or 4.13 kernel with Ubuntu 16.04?

4.13 which very recently replaced 4.10 in the Ubuntu HWE has definite 
issues with some HDMI (5.1) configurations, causing me to revert to 4.04.

A bit of googling will show the issue.

Something changed in January, even 4.04 just sort of works. 
'pavucontrol' shows my HDMI as unplugged but speaker test works and myth 
does produce surround sound.

I don't think it is a mythtv fault.

Stereo works in both kernels.
