Not sure how lucky I was, but audio over HDMI now works for me on a Revo R3700. It took a bit of fiddling, and I'm not entirely sure which change did it, but I'm happy to tell people what my current settings are.

I wish I had read your comment two weeks ago, because I bought a Sapphire Edge-HD and discovered at once that audio over HDMI doesn't work >_<

Does anybody know if one of the more recent Linux distros have it work out of the box? My Ubuntu 10.10 + XBMC 10 doesn't seem to be able to work...
