CORRECTION: Contrary to what I wrote in comment #37, the Ubuntu 3.8.0-17-generic kernel DOES support HDMI audio in Ubuntu 13.04. However, at least for me, HDMI audio continues not to work with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-18-generic kernel or with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic kernel.

So the bug seems to have appeared with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-18-generic kernel.

I can also confirm that HDMI audio DOES work in Ubuntu 13.04 with the following mainline kernels:
3.8.0, 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. (I'll just add that lots of other problems appeared with 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. But for me, most everything seems to work well with mainline 3.8.0.)

Interesting to note that HDMI audio works with mainline 3.8.6 and mainline 3.8.8, but not with Ubuntu 3.8.0-18 or Ubuntu 3.8.0-19, which are based on mainline 3.8.6 and mainline 3.8.8, respectively.

I haven't had a chance to obtain also-info yet.
