I decided to update my HTPC to Frodo this past week and now I no longer have audio. My HTPC was working fine on Eden, however, I have no menu sounds or audio when trying to watch something. I was on beta 3 and I had some sound, but it would occasionally go away after resuming, I thought RC 1 would have fixed that, but it seems to have made it worse.
I've been searching the forums all morning and afternoon trying to fix the issue, but nothing that I've found so far has worked.
Here is the information on my system:
HTPC: Zotac MAG
XBMC: XBMCBuntu - Frodo RC1
Receiver: Denon 1613
Audio over: HDMI
Speakers: 2.0
Here is my XBMC Log:

I tried a few things, including different settings before I captured that log in hopes that it will give some better insight. I've never posted a log before, so I hope I did that correctly.
Here is a screen shot of the audio devices that worked initially:

Here is a list of the rest of the audio devices:
Audio Output Device:
Default (hda Nvidia hdmi 0)
hda Nvidia, hdmi
Hda Nvidia (hdmi_complete), hdmi
Hda Nvidia (hdmi_formatted), hdmi
Hda Nvidia, hdmi 0
Hda Nvidia (both), hdmi 0
Hda Nvidia (dmixer), hdmi 0
hda Nvidia, alc888 digital s/pdif
Hda Nvidia, alc888 analog
Passthrough output device:
hda Nvidia, hdmi
Hda Nvidia (hdmi_formatted), hdmi
Hda Nvidia (hdmi_complete), hdmi
hda Nvidia, alc888 digital s/pdif
I understand what output and passthrough device are, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand all of the different options. I've went through every option possible and I reboot every time.
Here are the results of aplay -l:

I can't remember the thread, but while searching for help someone recommend putting this in advancedsettings.xml, but it didn't work:
<audio>
<streamsilence>0</streamsilence>
</audio>
I did not have asound.conf intially, but I found another thread mentioning to create one with the following settings, but it didn't work either:
I've rebooted every time I've changed something as well.
