Rebuilt my HTPC, need some pointers

So I bought a new TV and new receiver and I decided to rearrange my home and do some spring cleaning. While cleaning I found a still sealed in the box Intel motherboard and Core 2 Duo e6300 that I had purchased as a bundle deal and forgot about.

So I decided to rebuild my HTPC and I did so with the following specs:

Mobo: Intel (forgot model number can look it up later)
Processor: C2D e6300
RAM: 2 Gigs DDR 2 800
Video: Nvidia GeForce 210 w/ HDMI out
OS: Ubuntu 9.10

So, I built it, and HDMI video works great to my TV, but I cannot for the life of me get HDMI audio to work. My receiver has 4 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out, so I plan on running everything (HTPC, xbox, ps3, turntable, etc etc) through the receiver and only having one cable go from the receiver to the TV for cable management and ease of use.

Scouring google I find many mixed reviews, and content regarding HDMI audio in Linux. I read that the newest Nvidia drivers don't support it (version 180.x or 190.x), that the ALSA open source drivers don't support it, and that ATI drivers do support it. So, I am pretty confused. I have 3 more weeks to return the Nvidia card and exchange it for an ATI if that will answer my problems.

Has anyone built a HTPC with Linux and got audio to work over HDMI?

Thanks

SND_ATIIXP(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					     SND_ATIIXP(4)

NAME
snd_atiixp -- ATI IXP bridge device driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device sound device snd_atiixp Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): snd_atiixp_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The snd_atiixp bridge driver allows the generic audio driver, sound(4), to attach to ATI IXP audio devices. This driver supports 16bit play- back and recording, and 32bit native playback and recording. Runtime Configuration The following sysctl(8) variables are available in addition to those available to all sound(4) devices: dev.pcm.%d.polling Experimental polling mode, where the driver operates by querying the device state on each tick using callout(9). Polling is disabled by default. Do not enable it unless you are facing weird interrupt problems or if the device cannot generate interrupts at all. HARDWARE
The snd_atiixp driver supports the following audio chipsets: o ATI IXP 200 o ATI IXP 300 o ATI IXP 400 SEE ALSO
sound(4) HISTORY
The snd_atiixp device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1. AUTHORS
This manual page was written by Joel Dahl <joel@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS
The snd_atiixp driver does not support S/PDIF, but implementing it should be fairly easy if the right hardware is available. 32bit native recording is broken on some hardware. BSD
