Multichannel audio (DTS, Dolby Digital) not working on Nvidia GT520

I'm not sure if this is due to an update or if I messed up some configuraiton file somewhere. When starting X, I used to get these log messages:

Now when I launch X all I get is this:

Nov 15 23:21:27 mediacentre kernel: [   21.745822] input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=7 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card0/input5
Nov 15 23:21:27 mediacentre kernel: [   21.746039] input: HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card0/input6

Now, in XBMC, I can still select my card as the passthrough device but I only get 2-channel output to my receiver vs the usual 5- or 8-channel output.

This appears to be a problem on the latest Kernel and Kernel-lts. It also seems to be an issue with the latest nvidia proprietary drivers and the beta ones.

Anybody have any ideas? Did this recently break for anyone else?

I had the same issue, I think the log messages have changed, the same info is still available in /proc/asound:
