avivotool regs hdmi in the running system

I am running Debian Stretch (kernel 4.9.18) with ati driver 1:7.8.0-1, on an GA-970A-DS3P board that has a Radeon RX 460 off-board. Further specs:

processor: AMD FX(tm)-8300 Eight-Core Processor
chipset: AMD 970

Attached to the board is my Monitor, via HDMI.

Vanilla install works fine, except: no audio via HDMI.

pavucontrol shows me that the HDMI output is recognized correctly[1] but when I plug anything to it I get no output (on windows I get audio with catalyst driver). The analog audio output (front of the case output) works as expected.

Curiously pavucontrol reports "HDMI / DisplayPort (plugged in)" even when there's nothing connected to the HDMI audio output.

Because this bug is based on another with a "Radeon HD 6310"[2] I have figured that it could be useful to attach the output of "avivotool regs hdmi".

Any clue as to what to try next?

The current upstream amdgpu driver does not support hdmi audio.  You need to use one of these branches until the code gets upstream (targeting 4.15):
