Well I managed to get rid of the "no passthrough available error" by disabling all of the other audio outputs in control panel. My HDMI cable is 1.4 and my graphic and audio drivers are up to date.
I still have the annoying hiccups in the audio though which aren't there when using Windows media player with HD audio. In XBMC the audio will be fine for the first minute and then randomly make a crackle sound every few seconds. It seems to be worse through more demanding sections with complicated video and audio but the CPU never goes higher than 8-10% and 4gb of ram should be more than sufficient. Any other thoughts?
