Try getting rid of the "UseEDID false" line.  That solved my
audio-over-HDMI woes when I was struggling with it.  I believe that by
completely ignoring EDID, the driver is also ignoring the fact that
the display says it can accept audio, so the driver doesn't send
audio.  My relevant lines are:

    Option         "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "true"
    #Option         "UseEDID" "False"
    Option         "ModeValidation" "NoWidthAlignmentCheck,
NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck"
