Hi,
Just reinstalled debian and are having lots of problems getting the sound to work through HDMI. I had it working but now it has just stopped. I'm watching the screen through the same HDMI so I presume hardware is good.
Eventually I want to use this system to run MPD.
Here's my setup as described by aplay;

In my pulseaudio setup I added the first line here, and commented out the second.
