I'm running on an Ion motherboard, and I just recently switched to HDMI 
audio, and have had no problems with it yet.  I'm running with the 
Nouveau drivers, which are working great for me.  I was very frustrated 
with it not working initially until I realized I had to unmute the 
output.  My only issue now is that I can't do H.265 high-res video at 
full speed, but I have very few of those files.
