DTS audio causes video to "stutter" and no sound...VLC is fine though??

Your setup? AVR? TV? Are they capable of decoding DTS?

Sorry, its just a HP core duo, 2GB ram, Audio passthrough the HDMI port on the graphics to the TV....
Decoding DTS...I assume so (I know bad to assume) but VLC plays it fine??

When you set xbmc to passthrough, the audio (dts) is sent untouched and it is the TV that should decode it. Most TVs don't support DTS and hence the stuttering problem. VLC decodes dts to lpcm and sends to TV which any TV will play. In xbmc, select only the option 'AVR capable of decoding LPCM'. In your case TV is the AVR.

Your TV is highly unlikely able to decode audio such as DTS and Dolby Digital so set:
Audio output: Analog
Speaker configuration: 2.0
Audio output device: Directsound - HDMI
