Yes, there's physical HDMI port on the card, which, according to the
documentation, supports both video and audio.
However, there's also "SPDIF OUT Mode Setting" in the BIOS allowing to
choose between "HDMI Output" or "SPDIF Output", suggesting that only one can
be used at a time. The description is not terribly clear though.

Ok, I've done this.
Here's "aplay -l"
