feh something for you to check. I went looking for manuals from other boards that use the same GF8200 chipset as yours and have an HDMI port. Anyway came across one and it has a setting in the bios to enable the HDMI audio, and it is disabled by default. Worth having a look in your bios under "Advanced Chipset Setup" or possibly 'Integrated Peripherals" and see if yours has a similar setting.
I've played with every option in the BIOS. The only setting related to sound is the ability to enable/disable what they refer to as the internal (nvidia, over HDMI) and external (VIA, using the 8 pin-style connectors) sound systems. None of the available settings work.
Plus, HDMI audio worked fine when I was using linux, so I'm 99% sure this is either a driver or OS issue.
Thanks, though.
feh,
Did you get audio over HDMI working? I have been trying to find a solution and coming up blank.
I did find the link below, but it didn't help.

I feel stupid as after posting my response to feh I found my problem.
It basically boiled down to me wanting to go through my receiver for audio. Problem is my receiver does "pass through" HDMI. This means it sends audio and video to the same source and only to that source when using HDMI. So I had my computer plugged into DVD and was sending my video out to my TV. Well my receiver won't play audio out the speakers connected to it in this scenario without a separate cable for audio when using HDMI as it sends the audio signal to the TV as well.
So unfortunately, until I figure something else out, I am running audio through my TV.I would just use a separate digital cable for audio, but my digital audio ports are filled at the moment. But at least I know what was causing my issue.
