[Dell Precision M3800, Intel Haswell HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Sound has wrong bitrate / pitch

[Will Shackleton]

HDMI sound output to my U2414H Dell monitor happens at the wrong bitrate, resulting in sound output at the wrong pitch.

This video demonstrates the problem:

(Interestingly the rate that youtube plays the video changes as well - seconds count faster)

If I suspend and resume the computer, then this bug disappears. I can't find any parameters in /proc/asound that show the incorrect bit rate. This is a clean install of Ubuntu with 3.13.0-24-generic

will@prefect:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
