I had an AMD 6770 laying around so I installed this card. All my problems are gone now. switching streams no problem, no video artifacts. So from that perspective it is great.
I have one very strange problem left that I did not had on the intel. I use TMT5 to play my 3D blurays. This does not work any more, TMT5 starts fine but it is like it is paused, while my receiver says no signal (Anthem MRX700).
I can fastforward but that's about it. Without XBMC TMT5 plays my #D movies fine.....
Any idea

Damian,
TMT5 always worked flawlesly with the intel GPU. Now it is like xbmc is occupying my sound card.
Can that have something to do with AE ?

Yep - if you need TMT5 go to settings>audio options and disable Exclusive Mode. That does have repercussions for passthrough formats in XBMC though.
As it's name implies, in Exclusive Mode only one application can have the audio device at any given time. Because you are running two sound apps at the same time the first program to open the sound device excludes all others.
That said, normally XBMC takes exclusive control even in it's stock builds, but try that first.

Not happy with the HD audio patched version, I also tried the 20120405 build.
Turns out you have to do a clean install and what is it with the weather add-on complaining about a corrupted script ?
If you just install this build on top of an existing one, there's no audio.
I had problems switching from analog out to HDMI. XBMC crashes if you "hit" SPDIF. I have an AMD3650 + A75 chipset and
some HD audio codec from VIA. Maybe the VIA driver is screwing up things. If you first select the output device to the AMD HDMI
device and then go from analog to HDMI it works fine.
I have an Onkyo NR-TX609 receiver with 5.1 speakers.
Looks like DTS, DTS-ES, AC3, DTS-HD MA all work ok. Didn't check DD TrueHD yet. Also tried some AVI and MP4 with MP3 and AAC.
All ok.
The HD audio version from DanielaE has an issue with DTS-ES, which causes repeatedly switching between modes on my
receiver.
Looking forward to a more final build !
