After I could not get the video to work with the AKAI lcd tv via HDMI I went to BestBuy and bought an NVidia GeForce 220.
Did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lyric Lynx) 32 bit desktop. Then followed various posts to get HDMI sound working. With
1. Latest NVidia drivers 195.36.24

The nvidia driver install was reverting alsa back to 1.0.21 so I had to reinstall that.
cat /proc/asound/version to get current version.
Made an install script for it.
/usr/src/alsa/install23
it enters each of the driver, lib and util directories and does
./configure
make
make install
Then reboot and check.
Check nvidia driver version: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
195.36.24 is now the current nvidia driver in the repositories so it doesn’t have to be manually installed (and should survive updates)
Went to Maverick Meerkat (10.10) and alsa is now at the correct level 1.0.23 so everything works out of the box.
