@Patrick - The workaround in the second paragraph of comment #6 should persist after updating the kernel. However kernel 3.8.0-22.33 which is currently in raring-proposed has merged back all changes which were in 3.8.0-20.31 and should have working HDMI sound. Comment #88 confirms that this is the case. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for instructions on how to enable and use proposed - just replace all instances of "precise" with "raring".

You can track the progress of the 3.8.0-22.33 kernel at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1180483

I too have been wondering how this was missed during pre-release testing of Raring. Hopefully the testing of HDMI audio (according to the bug description analog built-in audio is only broken on some machines) will now become part of Ubuntu's standard testing procedures.
