Linux audio is pretty disappointing. It took me hours of googling and mucking around to get surround audio over HDMI working for my ubuntu HTPC.
I ended up having to completely disable PulseAudio which means there can't be any desktop sounds at all, but at least the audio works in surround from Kodi now.
Also every time I do an update I need to reinstall Nvidia drivers. Which might also break the fragile audio over HDMI setup, who knows?
