I always get this error whenever I play videos with DTS / dolby sounds.
and no matter what I try I can't seem to get it.

Via HDMI, forgot to include.
Video Output from PC is through HDMI cable.
I connect the htpc straight to tv, no av system in between

Try these configs then...

1. If you installed Realtek codec, you can un-install it.
2. Update the latest AMD driver from here- AMD Driver Autodetect
3. Select AMD HDMI output in Windows 7 control panel
4. Config XBMC as shown below-

this method seems to work, So, I just have to untick the options of receiver?
It works, thanks bray
