Pulse audio and Alsa were working, not sure if an update or what broke. Now Pulse audio works but video can be slow or glitchy. Pass through does not work at all. When not using Pulse, I can sometimes get one track of audio such as the laugh track of a tv show. If playing a movie using HD DTS audio, i get nothing. Turning off DTS and using pulse seems to work. I re-installed Linux, tried another video/sound card, and Removed pulse audio. Have since re-installed pulse.

Sorry - Just noticed my debug log gets a bad gateway error. i will post another tonight after work.

Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xbmc

sudo apt-get upgrade

I performed the cmd's suggested by fritsch, still no audio. This is a fresh ubuntu 13.03 install, removed pulseaudio, and using the provided repository.

Looks really fine now. Make sure you choose ONK DTR-30.3 on HDMI in the audio settings.

select the correct HDMI device in audio settings. You have 2 listed and the 2nd one looks like your Onkyo AVR

Still wasnt working so i tried another machine (windows) and had the same issue. So i decided to try another hdmi input on my receiver and all is well. Oddly enough i switched back to that input and its still working correctly now. In addition, was able to re-install pulseaudio so i have OS and browser audio. Everything just works now. Not sure why my hdmi input was only allowing, im assuming 2 ch audio using pulse only until i unplugged/replugged from the receiver. Maybe it was a combination of things? Idunno
Sorry if i wasted anyone's time, but your help is much appreciated.
