Back with an update. I had gone to some local computer stores in hopes of grabbing a 430, but there were none to be found. Since I was impatient, I decided to risk it and picked up a cheap 610.
Results are much better, though only one problem that I'm currently experiencing. All sources play (DTS, AC3, TrueHD, DTS-MA), and HD audio is registering on my receiver. But when playing DTS-MA I'm getting a constant clicking on all sources.
Since I'm testing this out on a 610 card, the only way I could get this to work was to use the 302.17 drivers from x-swat. At this point, with the exception of the DTS-MA sound problem, I'm very happy. At least for now I can just switch to DTS.
I did rebuild the box from scratch in order to test this, starting with XBMCbuntu, then upgrading to 12.04.
cat /proc/asound/version
aplay -l
aplay -L
uname -a
The log is a capture of playing Beowulf (TruHD) followed by Chronicle (DTS-MA).
