Hey, I do have a problem with AE as well.

I own an Intel Core i3 with an H55M-Mainboard. Buy a H55M they said ... it has native bitstream support for HDAudio they said....

Well everything is working nearly fine. MP3 and AC3/DTS Sound is working fine - AE detects the HDMI and the Receiver correctly.
What does not work are the HD Formats DTS HD Master / True HD

here are some additional Infos:
