I just did a clean install of Mythbuntu 11.04 with a new build. My video
card is a PNY GeForce GT430. I had to add the following to
'/etc/asound.conf’:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 8
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

After that audio over HDMI worked fine for me. The device numbers might
different on your system. Enter 'aplay -l' to see what device numbers you
have. You may have multiple entries.
