@retiarius: I didn't have a receiver set up on the TV I was testing on. Initially the problem that I had was that AC3\DTS was not being decoded at all and I was getting the no audio error.
I made the bad assumption that once I got that fixed that AC3\DTS was actually being output and not just decoded. I have taken the ATV2 to my main setup and plugged in through the receiver, and sure enough, I have the same problem with hissing and popping.
Luckily, for me, this is for my kids room tv and just to play their dvds. I don't need it to do anything fancy at the moment. However, I would like to use ATV2s to replace my other two XBMC boxes, if I can get passed the 1080p problem (which is mostly in my head).
I look forward to a new build, as well. I am also having problems browsing some folders over the network causing XBMC to crash and restart Lowtide. I am still working that one out.
