Just wondering if there has been an update or possible fix for this issue?
I dearly want to use XBMC Linux for my HTPC, however, the true hd issue has forced me (for now) to use a combination of Windows with XBMC and Total Media Theatre.
Thanks guys.

I've just begun to rip my Blu Rays and I have a similar problem. I'm not sure about which codecs the BD contain, but some rip and play fine and others that I rip exactly the same way get the intermittent "failed to initialize audio device". I'm running my audio through optical out on a ASUS P5N7A-VM. I'm also using an old receiver that only supports DD and DTS. I'm no expert on BD, but I thought it always had a regular ac3 stream embedded into the HD stream. I assumed that meant there shouldn't be any problems.

Hi,
I'm seeing the same problem using HDMI audio from an ASUS P5Q-EM motherboard. That's 3 of us with the same board... has anyone else seen this on a different motherboard?
In my case the video stream has been reencoded to H264 so it's not related to any problem with VC1 content (as suggested by davilla).
Interestingly, if i change the audio settings within XBMC to analog out the error disappears.
On a different note, if i run TrueHD from a MKV container, i get no audio at all. Does anyone know what matroska splitter XBMC uses? I know Haali Media Splitter can't see TrueHD audio, however MPC-HC's splitter can.
Cheers
