hope someone can help me. I have the same problem.
With the custom settings plughw:1,3 i get white noise from the tv speakers. Tried every possible custom setting that is written in this thread but couldn't get the audio to work. I don't have A/V sync activated and the TV doesn't have a SPDIF input.
Hope someone has another idea how this problem could be solved. With dharma i had no problems activating the audio output through hdmi.

Do you get sound with this command?
aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

If yes, first try non passthrough in xbmc. plughw:1,3 does not work on my id80 for some reason but plug:hdmi:NVidia does.

For passthrough custom device use:
hdmi:NVidia

Note this is case sensitive.

If this does not work, you might need a probemask for snd_hda_intel

EDIT: rename your asound.conf while trying in order not to have a default device.

Similar problem for myself on my Zotac ZBox trying to enable HDMI output to my TV. Normal menu sounds work fine, its only when playing any MKV file (All files play successfully on the rest of my XBMC kit):

I've already updated the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to add the following line to the bottom:

options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

Can anyone help?

Still no sound. Same thing as nsviper. SD Files work but HD .mkv files don't.

You enable passthrough with AC3 capable receiver in audio settings. If you hear no sound check your xbmc.log for "device busy". This message means that the device can't be muted and used for passthrough. To make it work on Ubuntu 11.10 I unconfigured system sounds by not having an asound.conf with a default device and did not set hdmi device in gstreamer-properties.
On my 10.10 or Fedora system it works with system sounds.

BTW:
Quote:options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2
This is wrong. Bit 8 should not be set. Values < 16 are correct and in most cases only a single bit is needed.

Disabled AC3 and now it works. Thanks for Your help. Now I can finally lean back and enjoy a movie again Cool
