Bug Description

CID: 201402-14675 Dell Inspiron 3442

The HDMI audio detection does not work on this system with 14.04 + update (3.13.0-39)

Steps:
1. Install 14.04 + update (3.13.0-39), boot to desktop
2. Connect an external monitor to the HDMI port

Expected result:
* External display available, HDMI audio output option available

Actual result:
* Only the external display will be available, no HDMI audio output.

Debugging info:
It works with cold-plug.
Also, if you play a wav file by using "aplay -D hdmi:HDMI,0 test.wav" command, it will make the output option available in "Sound Settings"

Adding "options snd-hda-intel jackpoll_ms=500" into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as stated in [1] could make the detection work with hotplug.
