Yes.  As already mentioned, I have an alsa-info from someone else
that has HDMI output.  The PCI SSID is very same, so it's likely
the same model as yours.  (HP dv5 has several PCI SSIDs for different
flavors.)

HDMI is implemented as an individual MCP codec chip on codec address
#2.  If this doesn't appear in your machine, there could something
different in BIOS setup, for example.
