Just reinstalled XBMC Live all over again. Still no dice. Wtf is wrong?! It works connected to the TV, and everything else works on the amp.

Ok, sorry about the 4th post in a row... Somehow the audio starting working. Although not all the time. The clicky sounds in the menus only comes on every once and a while, and sound in movies in turning on and off

Follow the link in my signature and update ALSA to the latest version.
ALSA bugs often get address very quickly.

Yeah thanks, I tried that and it broke my working install. Now it just boots to a login prompt. Time for reinstall 3, this time keeping the old version of ALSA.

Yup, all sounds work now on a fresh install except some navigation sounds. Its strange, if I move through the menu it wont play the clicks, unless i hit it a couple times in a row. After thinking about it for a while I think it might just be the receiver clicking back out of DTS or DD mode and not being fast enough. I dont know though since the PS3's navigation sounds works perfectly

That is exactly what it is. XBMC doesn't send a continuous signal to keep the DTS or whatever turned on. If you watch and have a light you will see it turn on and off as the receiver senses input. some devices like the PS3 send some sort of signal to keep it turned on all the time. Not sure how best to fix this or if a replacement ALSA will do it but it's been discussed before...
