@critcah-
If you selected Onkyo HDMI audio ouput in Windows 7 control panel and selected WASAP: Onkyo HDMI in XBMC, there is not much else XBMC can do to correct it. It might be some kind of handshake issue here. Have you update the latest driver for your GPU? You can check on Onkyo website to see if they have any firmware update for your Onkyo too. My Onkyo HT-RC270 works better with the latest Onkyo firmware....
When you turn on Onkyo, your GPU should detect it instead of HDTV.........

You can follow my guide below and try not to skip any step:
1. connect your system- htpc>avr>hdtv with two hdmi cables and set avr to pass-through video
2. if you already installed xbmc, un-install xbmc in start>control panel>programs and features
3. delete all xbmc registry in start>type "regedit" in search box>select "current user">edit>type "xbmc" in search box>if any xbmc pop up, delete it>select "local machine">edit> "xbmc" in search box>if any xbmc pop up, delete it.
Note- step 2&3 above is necessary to make sure that everything will be freshly installed.
xbmc option-
1. install the latest "ati" video card driver
2. install- High Definition Audio Codecs
3. follow these steps to setup sound in control panel- control panel hd passthrough and make sure to configure speaker to "stereo"
4. download- darma 10.1 "don't launch xbmc at this point"
5. launch xbmc from this folder- xbmc_hd_audio. if you haven't installed this ms c++ package, you can install it here- microsoft visual c++ 2010 redistributable Package (x86)
6. configure pre-eden hd audio settings using these steps- pre-eden settings
7. select bd movie file (iso/m2ts/mkv or index.bdmv directly from bd-rom) with dts-hd or truehd audio, and enjoy it! (if you don't know what movie has hd audio, you can verify it with bdinfo)
My question is this:
2. install- High Definition Audio Codecs
What driver should be used:
ATI HDMI Audio Device or just use one of the other drivers?

@Bjur-
You can try it with just GPU driver in #1 first. If you cannot get it to work with GPU driver, than you can try it with Realtek HD audio codecs.
