I have a EEEBox 1012 with Ion / 9400M that I use HDMI for auto and video. 
My default device (0,0) was analog output jack.  Use aplay -l to view your
output devices, then set the hdmi in /etc/asound.conf.  My config is:

pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia
pcm.iec958 hdmi:NVidia

Use alsamixer to unmute these channels.  Finally, you need to tell myth to
use AC3 passthrough in the front end setup.

One last note, desktop cards need a SPDIF audio cable connected to your
sound card or motherboard.  It's a 2 conductor wire that plugs in next to
the power ports on the video card.
