Bug Description
On a good number of Ubuntu devices, Ubuntu fails to deliver sound through HDMI; however the fix is simple; in the terminal, if you run 'alsamixer' you should see a few entries; S/PDIF, S/PDIF Def and S/PDIF 1. They are, for some odd reason, muted by default. Unmuting them (and setting sound prefernces to output through HDMI) gives you sound.
I suggest unmuting these channels.
summary: |
- No sound through HDMI connection. + Enable (unmute) HDMI audio outputs by default |

This requires a change to either the deprecated initscript or (preferably) the init db. In the case of the latter, converting the udev rule to use alsactl init instead of start would suffice.
