The nvidia driver causes this event
[ 2250.800276] HDMI hot plug event: Pin=5 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1
The nouveau driver fails to sent this event, and thus the ALSA driver fails to
update its /proc/asound/card1/eld#1.0  and therefore does not output sound.

The previous trace did not seem to output anything useful.
This one is better.

I tried the following and it worked:

I modified the patch. nv50_sor.c::nv50_sor_create(), remove the "||
dev_priv->chipset == 0xac" case so that nva3_audio_init is called for your
card.

I now get the hotplug event, and the ALSA audio picks up the HDMI output.
I will test actual audio tomorrow.

Update: It does not actually work from boot.
If you modprobe the nouveau module after boot, it works, if nouveau loads
during boot up, it does not send the "hot plug" event.

Further investigation has found the following:
1) The nouveau driver sets the correct gpio pins and the ALSA audio driver can
see them set.
2) The hotplug event only happens when the state of the gpio pins changes.
3) The ALSA driver creates the hotplug event as a result of detecting the gpio
pins change.
4) nouveau modules seems to load before the alsa module, so the hotplug event
never gets created by the ALSA audio driver because it is not loaded.
5) If the nouveau driver is loaded after boot, the hotplug event is sent to
ALSA and it works fine.
6) If the ALSA driver is loaded after boot, it detects the gpio pins settings
and acts correctly and works fine.
7) The problem is only present if the nouveau and alsa module load at boot
time.
I am investingating (7) next.

I have found the problem.
nouveau tries to send the eld info in
nv50_audio_mode_set()

Unfortunately, this is sent before the audio driver is loaded.
It is then resent later.
If the ALSA audio driver is forced to try and read the eld data 3 times instead
of just once, the eld data finally reaches the ALSA audio driver, and sound
then works.
So, I now have a valid work around.
Some further investigation is needed to discover why the sending of eld data is
so unreliable, requiring it to be sent multiple times.
Maybe some co-ordination between the nouveau driver and ALSA is required to
ensure good delivery of the eld data, so that it is valid before setting the
eld_valid GPIO.

I've just been trying to get HDMI audio to work, using the Nouveau driver, and
I'm running into this ELD issue. Is there any progress on this issue so as to
make it work "out of the box"?

Btw, I'm using Debian Sid with:

Linux 3.0.4
Nouveau x-driver: 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1+b2

--- Comment #8 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin-FrUbXkNCsVf2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org> ---
It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team

--- Comment #9 from Kip Warner <Kip-pQI53ePfAtSt/hvpvFFPbQ@public.gmane.org> ---
Hey Ilia,

I can confirm that this is still an issue. In fact, I noticed it not just with
the Nouveau driver (Ubuntu, amd64, 1:1.0.11+git1411032101.3fb97d~gd~u), but
also with the non-free nVidia 346 driver. 

In both cases the hotplug notification was not being reported by udevadm (and
presumably the kernel hotplug system either via netlink or script driven). The
card in question was an nVidia GeForce GTX 960. 

This may be a hardware issue because plugging in the same HDMI sink (Onkyo
TX-NR535) to my integrated Intel HDMI port emits several hotplug events no
problem on both connect and disconnect.
