Nouveau and hdmi sound ?

Have amd64bit system, with Nvidia gt220 card with hdmi output of video & [other distros] sound via hdmi.
As of 2 weeks ago got 64bit base and  icewm working. Gigabyte system board has on-board sound as Intel-HDA .
On other distros had to blacklist on-board AND get the nvidia.com prop bin driver into the kernel and X.
Can Nouveau kernel driver do hdmi sound ; or gen kernel without nouveau - blacklist at startup
  {Since open nv video driver or nvidia prop-bin driver can be installed with  Nouveau  running }
did a search on forum for subject before posting.
