Thats weird.. Im also using an Onkyo reciever with an ion chipset. Try "plughw:0,3" as custom device (without the quotes).

Dude seriously, how did you know that? That fixed it perfectly. hahaha
Everything seems to be working really well except all of a sudden video playback on 1080p is a LITTLE laggy. Not sure why that decided to start happening. In the OS install after installing the nvidia drivers it asked if I wanted to update the X file or something and I selected No (I didn't want to screw up any custom script in the install process) Maybe I need to update?

Im glad its working at last. Not sure about the lagging video, usually a reboot will sort it. Maybe im just lucky but all my 1080p content works perfectly. Have you tried playing a 5.1 movie to test the channel mappings are correct?
cheers.

Just watched a few bits from a couple movies and it sounds great.
With the very mild video stutter it seems to only be on 1080p movies - very odd. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out at some point.
Thanks for all your help. You absolutely saved me amid this insanity.
