Hello!
This thread is quite big and the tutorial from 2013.
I was running XBMC 12.? and today I installed the latest Kodibunto.
My System is a Acer Revo RL70 with an AMD E-450 + Radeon 6320
I was running the fglrx Drivers to get files with DTS-Audio run smooth.
I have read that nowadays vdpau is the new way to get DTS-Audio files running and i noticed that my installation of Kodi allready comes with vdpau drivers (as seen in my Settings), so i made the settings in Kodi that were suggested in this tutorial... I guess the other part is irrelevant?
I also set the Audio on Passthrough since my revceiver can handle DTS-HD, etc..
However Some DTS Movies still stutter on some scenes and i dont know if this is a issue with vdpau or an issue with my network (sometimes it says buffering), its just strange i had no issues with XBMC 12

Provide the logfiles the first post wants you to provide. If you did not follow this hoto at all -> choose another thread.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

After deciding to update to Kodi, requiring me to update to Trusty first and as a result nuking my install I decided to start over. Followed the howto to a tee and have most of the system working as before but no sound cards are found according to aplay -l. Where to start? Please advise, thanks.

Both are empty, so I just output here
kodi@kodi:~$ sudo aplay -l | pastebinit
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

Check if it's disable in the bios (unlikely for hdmi audio). Try OpenELEC from usb stick and see.

BIOS checked: OK. I saw Pulse was not installed in the logs but as per doc I shouldnt need to. What do I look for when trying OpenELEC?
Tried this as well:
kodi@kodi:~$ sudo lshw -C sound

Audio works in OpenElec out of the box. Lists the device as HD-Audio Generic. Please advise, thanks.

Good, then upgrade the kernel, please to something newer. You can use Ubuntu mainline to accomplish that.
Perhaps easier:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-vivid linux-headers-generic-lts-vivid
via the trusty-updates repo
