you have to post  raw EDID of your HDMI monitor


http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/edid-decode/plain/edid-decode.c

are you using latest alsa-driver ?

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/commit/sound/pci/hda/patch_hdmi.c?id=89250f84644676c1ed6a09acef1033e14596a402

did you configure alsa-driver --with-debug=full ?

post the output of six eld in /proc/asound/card0/

are monitor_present =1 and eld_valid = 1 for all six eld ?

monitor_present         1
eld_valid               1
