I've actually got a toslink cable on the way, I didn't want to tear apart my entire tie-wrapped system to steal an existing toslink cable from my Xbox 360.
I think that's pretty sensible advice/thought. If the SPDIF works a-ok I'm giving up on HDMI audio.
This also makes me wonder...that's 2 people with issues specifically with HDMI out and an onkyo receiver. Is there anyone with an E-350 and an Onkyo receiver that has HDMI audio specifically working? Another thing I've considered is that there may be a run of mobos with a faulty HDMI-audio ic ? I have not examined the PCB, not sure how it's laid out, or if HDMI audio has an exclusive chip.
Thanks!
I'd also like to apologize if I seemed overly angry earlier on in the thread. I literally obsessed about getting this HTPC and was rather bummed by the nth roadblock.
