but when I put on a FULL HD movie on 40gb with DTS HD MA audio so it does not work. the jumps in both audio and video until I switch to "regular" DTS. why does it not work?

Openelec is a Linux distro and the AMD Linux drivers do not support the HD audio formats or 7.1 LPCM, they limit HDMI to LPCM 2.0 and lossy encoded formats such as DTS & Dolby Digital.
This is a software limitation that AMD don't seem keen to address, to get HD audio with AMD graphics you need to run Windows as the OS.

Nvidia cards are the least hassle to setup under Linux in my limited experience

I get the same issue with Windows OS running off my Radeon HD 5450, can someone help me with this please? Previously I could run hd and dolby digital video files.... now they stutter and there is no audio?
I have resolved my issue by disabling the option sytem--->settings---->audio output---->dolby digital (AC3) capable receiver. If anyone would shed some light to why that is an issue I would be grateful.
