While YMMV, I've never been able to get this configuration working with 
any TV that I've had in my possession. I've had lots of TV's that would 
output the received hdmi audio but only in stereo.  The best work around 
I could come up with was Myth->Amp (spdif), Myth->TV (hdmi, no audio). 
In the end I ended up getting an amp with hdmi passthru (Myth->Amp->TV).

Again, YMMV, I think it has more to do with the capabilities of the TV 
to forward the audio then anything else.
