Try purging pulseaudio sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio then select HDMI (Alsa) in the audio settings in XBMC. It might be Alsa (HDMI) thinking about it!

You have to set the passthrough.
If this does not work you can try this topic.
For hdmi it works quite the same.

Whare do i find the passthrough option?
RE: no audio on hdmi in xbmc - Plaguester - 2012-05-02 19:54
"Passthrough Audio Device" is located below "Audio Output Device" in Settings > System > Audio. It is enabled if you choose a digital output type ("HDMI" or "Digital/Coax"). Generally, these two values should be the same.

Is there a file called .asoundrc in the user's home directory? If so, let's see it. It's hidden so be sure to check with "ls -a" or turn on hidden files in the file browser.
