I am running Windows 7 x64 with an Ati hd5400 series video card that runs my Samsung plasma through my Denon AVR-890 that handles all the sound. I have XBMC set up to go through Wasapi. Receiver supports DTS-HD and TRUEHD, and I have a 7.1 speaker setup. Let me know what other information would be needed. Oh and one more thing I am actually run XBMC 11,0-HD Audio GIT:20120417-2F965AC

Have you up date Ati HD5400 driver from here- AMD Driver Autodetect?

You need to make sure that you connect it this way- HD5400-->AVR-890-->Samsung via two HDMI cables.....

How do you have the sync options set under audio/video in the XBMC options?

My video and audio drivers are all up to date and I do have my computer connected to my AVR with one HDMI cable and than another cable from my AVR to my TV. AS far as my sync options go they are all set up as standard. No to match refresh rate setting, and dvxa is on and set as default, and sync playback to display is also off.

You actually might want to set your sync to match to source and see if the performance changes at all.

ill try that but how would that correct the no sound issue?

oh yeah and don't know if I already mentioned that when I enable truehd capable receiver, and start a movie it says failed to initialize audio device.

Have you select AMD HDMI output in Windows 7/Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Playback.......

Yes I have selected that as my default setup in windows also.

Do you get sound with PDVD11, TMT5, MPC-HC, etc..... if it is not, it is beyond XBMC.....

yes I do get sound with all other programs. I even get sound with XBMC just not in Dolby True HD

Un-install XBMC (wipe out XBMC entirely), and re-install it fresh......you can try the latest nightly build from here- XBMCSetup-20120528-64fd446-master.exe 28-May-2012 09:57 ......and select the proper audio output in XBMC settings/system/audio output.....
