We just built an HTPC with an a88x pro asus motherboard and an amd a10 5800k. No separate video card or sound card. When we try playing a master hd movie, the movie stutters very bad and has no audio. On the receiver (anthem mx300) the display only shows as pcm 2.0. If I switch the xbmc audio from hdmi to coaxil then I get sound and the picture is fine but the receiver shows only dts 3/2. I have another htpc same cpu and receiver but I have a gigabyte f2a85x up4. Everything plays fine on that one. Could it be the that the asus motherboard uses realtek audio and the gigabyte doesn't? Please help
Thanks

Are you connecting it this way- HTPC-->AVR-->HDTV using two HDMI cables? I'm not familiar with your Anthem MRX 300 A/V receiver. If there is an option to turn off HDMI audio to TV in AVR settings, you can try to turn it off or disable it. I'm suspecting HTPC is detecting HDTV instead of AVR...

Fail to see the relevance - if as he has already confirmed that the setting is set to 'AVR' then that is where the audio chain stops.
