You are not alone with this HDMI problem. I have exactly the same problem with a Gigabyte board. The motherboards ability to autodetect the HDMI cable is not working and defaults "usually" to one of the Realtek Digital outputs. Mine defaults to the (Optical) one. You can change it to the other one but you still don't have HDMI audio. After spending many days communication with the Engineers at Gigabyte this is finally what I discovered.

If you have a sound card, try connecting to the TV using an analog as a temp hotfix, though as far as the drivers go, it may be that your motherboard's sound is outdated or something. Not completely sure.

So I am in limbo with a brand new HTPC that won't output HDMI to any of my 3 Flat Panel TV's. Oh and by the way the optical output seems to always glow red whether it is doing anything or not.

The problem is in the INTEL DRIVERS! you must install the first option of the list on INTEL IRIS...

~~~~~~ I could reach this driver/software download page through INTEL ARK.. there's a link on the right column under QUICK LINKS called Software Downloads. Just click and you'll be redirected to the page that I said above =)
