Hi list
I have got HDMI audio out to kinda work but the sound quality is awful and not really listenable. Its very choppy and is slightly more high-pitched than it should be. This is when using hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=1 @48khz outputting via ALSA 1.0.27.2 / jackd 0.124.2 under Deb Jessie amd64 with kernel 3.13.10-1. Its a System76 Gazelle Pro laptop FWIW.
