When you are ready to change out HDMI cable between HTPC-->AVR, please do it with both components in off stage. If switched out HDMI cable still have the same result, I'm recommending try with a different HDMI input on Onkyo. Your Onkyo should have a lot of HDMI input ports.
If after all the above still don't work with XBMC patches, can you try to playback something with TMT5 (you'll 15 days free trial). I'm just wondering if it can bitstream with a standalone media player. If it is, you have your answer!
Have you tried the EDID override? I couldn't get this to work for love nor money (also has an ASrock mobo with an Onkyo amp) until I gave this a go.
This should be the one you want. Thread is here:
