No audio over hdmi (Radeon HD 6310)

Hi! Im trying to get sound to my television from a ASUS E35m1-i motherboard that uses the radeon hd 6310 chipset.
I can get sound from the headphone jack, but not over hdmi.

I have already added radeon.audio=1 in my grub config, my kernel is 3.1.5-1-ARCH.

Re: No audio over hdmi (Radeon HD 6310)

No support for HDMI in the open drivers. It's recently been hacked together for HD5xxx, but not yet for HD6xxx.

Thanks for your answer After installing catalyst I finally got my sound! No I just have to fix xbmc (which broke after catalyst) and figure out why I get sound but no picture when I try HW acceleration on mplayer (the wonders of arch i guess)

Thanks again for the speedy answer!
