In that case go ahead and update the Bios and double check all your sound settings on your Acer, on the receiver and XBMC. On an HTPC its easy to get something wrong and end up sending for example stereo or no sound at all to your receiver. If you are getting sound of some sort then you are halfway there!
There are plenty of threads on this forum with folks who have had similar issues. The fact you now know that the Acer can output HD-Audio means that its most likely a settings issue. With HTPC's, double-checking is usually the best and most successful approach to solving these sorts of issues and even then, check again just to be safe.
Just a reminder, DTS (and DD etc) is "normal" audio, DTS-HD Master or DD Plus etc is HD-Audio.
