No HDMI audio output on Intel 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset

Hi!
I am using Mint 14 64 bit on i5 processor. I am unable to get audio output on my 32" TV although the video & display options work very well.

lspci -nn | grep Audio
00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1e20] (rev 04)

I have tried editing the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.config file by adding at the bottom
"options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=1 index=0" as suggested on a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-2wxd1d0Tg) which was for Mint 9.
This gave me options on selection of Hardware options on System Settings--Sound--Hardware but none of the HDMI output options work.
Can anyone provide a solution please?

Hello anupsab and welcome to Mint,

you can try this.
Go to the little speaker in the panel left click it then click on sound settings. and Hardware tab then there is a dropdown menu at the bottom under that you should find several options
one of which is HDMI output.
Good Luck

Thanks for the reply!
I tried that- in fact I get quite a few options which are labelled HDMI but i do not get audio output.

make sure Alsa is installed.

Exactly the same problem with the same hardware. I run LMDE (with Cinnamon) and I can't heard audio from the TV (that's linked with HDMI to the PC), meanwhile everything is ok with Windows7.
Alsamixer is installed and every device is unmuted. Any advice?
Thank you.

A search of the internet shows that this family of audio cards is very problematic in linux. Thus I'm out of Ideas but perhaps someone has found a solution and will
come forward- Sorry

I see, I didn't find anything either. Thank you anyway.
