Intel G35 with HDMI Video AND audio

[Rajesh Krishna Balan]

actually, you can get sound through the hdmi interface on the P5E-VM-HDMI.

you will need the latest alsa drivers though (version 1.0.16 or the 
latest hg sources). install them, and then use alsamixer and unmute the
"IEC 958 1" device. that is the HDMI output device. To just send audio 
over the optical or co-axial output, you need to unmute the "IEC 958" 
device. you can do that already without upgrading the alsa driver. the 
upgrade just gives you the HDMI output device as well.

unfortunately, I have encountered this specific bug which I suspect will 
not be resolved until the modesetting things that Keith mentions gets 
integrated.

let me know whether this bug affects you as well.
