I'm having a very similar problem - my XBMC build doesn't want to output anything higher than 1024x768 without losing sound. I've successfully changed the xorg file to get a beautiful resolution, but like others, that kills my audio. The native resolution of my TV is 1366 x 768.
I'm using an Aspire Revo AR1600 and am connected to a Pioneer VSX-919 receiver for my audio and video passthrough. The scan I ran said most of my EDID modes were invalid, which is why they don't show up in XBMC.
I had a Sony receiver and didn't have this problem, so I'm pretty sure this is tied to how XBMC treats the EDID modes. I guess I'll continue to keep trying out different combinations, but I'm leaning towards giving up and changing my zoom level each time I start a video, which I find incredibly annoying.
