definitely - but changing driver versions does not help - tried
185.x,190.x,195.x with the same results
replugging HDMI cable from receiver directly to TV or using custom EDID in
xorg.conf does not help either

I was testing with speaker-test -c2 -Dhdmi ... interestingly enough alsa-driver
1.0.22 behaves differently than 1.0.21

1.0.21 - no warning message in kernel log, speaker test was switching amongst
channels (like it was really playing something)

1.0.22 - warning message in kernel log 
[   10.096043] ALSA hda_intel.c:694: azx_get_response timeout, switching to
polling mode: last cmd=0x100f0000
speaker-test/aplay just hangs forever until ^C

in both cases neither av receiver nor tv detects any audio on HDMI
