Description dura 2011-02-08 13:39:04 UTC 
I've got a GT240 NVidia card and PCM HDMI audio is limited to two channels with kernel 2.6.37. Other NVidia cards are probably affected as well.
Reverting http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=53d7d69d8ffdfa60c5b66cc2e9ee0774aaaef5c0 make things going back to normal.

Comment 5 Andrew 2014-02-13 19:47:02 UTC 
Any chance this issue was re-introduced? I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and after latest updates I no longer get 5.1 sound only 2 channel. I've swapped hardware to confirm it is not the card. Changed drivers etc nothing seems to work.

How do go about confirm if this is the same issue or a new bug?

Thanks
Andrew
