Thanks for your answer. Please check my notes below.

Driver is the latest Nvidia driver (310.something).

My chain is powered on by my Harmony remote. Have to check the order in which the remote powers the devices on...

Properties are all set like in the wiki.

From what I have googled so far, I think the only thing which can help is an EDID override.

What is listed in Supported Formats in Windows?
In Windows, DTS, Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus are listed.
When I connect the TV directly to the PC, it is only Dolby Digital.
Over the weekend I tried everything google found for me, incl. EDID override (using moninfo) but with no luck.
For some unknown (at least unknown to me) reasons, Windows (together with Nvidia) insists on the above formats.
Funny thing is, when looking with moninfo at the real time EDIDs, all formats my AVR is capable of are listed, even if I look at the real time EDIDs of the whole chain (PC -> AVR -> TV). And although, the ION2 spec say that it is able to bitstream HD Audio, I found some inconsistent information in the web. But then again, I had HD Audio bitstreaming working when running XBMCBuntu Frodo RC3. So, this is confusing me...
So, if no one else has some ideas what can cure this problem, I believe I have to stick with not having HD Audio bitstreaming. But since a perfect and judder free 1080p24 playback (which I don't get when using XBMCBuntu) is more important for me, I can live with that (at least for a while
). And DTS or Dolby Digital aren't that bad at all...
