NO SOUND THROUGH HDMI (Radeon HD 4200) ON UBUNTU 11.10
--
After I updated to Ubuntu 11.10 no audio is played through HDMI. I've searched the Net and this forum,
seen that several people are having problems with sound through HDMI on 11.10, but have found no solution.
If anyone has got any ideas please let me know.
Please note that before I updated to 11.10 audio played perfectly through HDMI.
I have double checked the sound settings, and made sure the correct hardware and output
(HDMI) is chosen.
I've got the following setup:

ALSA driver Compilation
Skipped this step as the driver seems to work, except for not outputting sound.

I also read that an option can be to get drivers manually, however I have not tried that:
