Hi,

I recently updated my kernel to 4.11, and am experiencing similar
problems as Pascal. I have a Skylake processor and DP output hooked up
with a DP to HDMI cable to an Onkyo SR-606 receiver.

I can't get audio to work at all through my receiver anymore. I tried
both DTS and PCM audio files. I bisected it to the above mentioned
commit 9152085defb6426ce8f9989ca27e4450daefbd89 (ALSA: hda - add DP
MST audio support).

>> Do you know if the DP MST audio mode is used in your case?

I don't know what DP MST is or how to tell if I'm using it. However, I
noticed that when it does work, `aplay -L` gives me

hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1
    HDMI Audio Output

and when it doesn't, I get

hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, Generic Digital
    HDMI Audio Output

I tried building against drm-tip as well as v4.12-rc2, but observed
the same issue. I am not using pulseaudio, but alsa directly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
