> Is anyone running Linux and using HDMI sound?

Yes, and I just went through some acrobatics with it because I replaced and
older machine, which was hooked up to my TV via HDMI, with a new one.

So it is running in a DOSBOX instance?

My experiences are unfortunately not with DOS programs, but with linux ones
like vlc or trying to play a video on YT via Firefox.  What it turned out
to be in my case was that there was a *monitor* setting that was not right.

I kept checking the sound settings, but it turned out that by default the
HDMI sound in the monitor setting was turned off.  Turning that on fixed it.

I had encountered this once before and apparently just long enough ago that
I had forgot about it.
