Can you try an older version of the kernel?  Or alsa?  It sure sounds
like a regression, but the audio information doesn't support that.  Just
a check to be sure.

If alsa didn't know about the interface for the failing device, it
wouldn't be able to specify a control.  Are there any warnings or
errors in the journal during boot, or when trying to play?

Great troubleshooting report, very complete.

Is it possible that you changed a setting on the older TV that isn't
working?  Because, like you said, it *should* be working.

What happens if you just use an audio player to send only audio to the
older TV from the command line?  Maybe try such with debugging enabled.
Or look in the logs to see if it complains about anything.

e.g. mplayer -vv [audio-file]
or
mplayer -vv -novideo [video-file]

Since the hdmi is the only device, it should route to the TV to play.
I think.

If there are no errors and it acts like it is playing, that really
points to the older TV having an issue.
