I am affected by this. Enabling hdmi audio makes hdmi video go wrong. 
With audio enabled I'm unable to get a picture onto any external 
display. With audio=0 at least video works fine. It's possible that 
805c221 is a result of the bug report I filed at [2].

I'm glad if I can be of any help to resolve the issue. FWIW, I'm 
familiar with compiling the kernel and applying patches.

Best regards.

fe6f0bd03d697835e76dd18d232ba476c65b8282 is not likely. I suspect you
just experience results of so-called-fix:

805c22168da76a65c978017d0fe0d59cd048e995

drm/radeon/kms: disable hdmi audio by default

I'm trying to get in contact with ppl affected by issues when enabling
audio. Hopefully we can fix audio support and enable it by default
again.

For now, please load radeon module with "audio=1", or simply boot with
radeon.audio=1

Thanks Rafał that fixed it for me. (Wish I'd noticed that commit
earler). Anyway, if you need any testers at some point for this
driver, just let me know. I'd be happy to try them out.
