I have two real problems
smaller problem
A) HDMI audio losses sync when there is no audio output, wich means the first part of any sound gets cut off when the audio is detected by the reciever, or for system alert sounds often are completely muted.
Bigger Problem
B) I just can't get blu-ray to playback smoothly. With hardware acceleration enabled CPU use is low, but I get some stuttering, wich also causes audio dropouts wich then take a little longer to sync back up. If I disable HA then the 2.5ghz is overwhelmed and CPU usage pegs. I've played with the drivers some, and now I believe I actually have is smooth, but flashing green. WTF.
Okay so I just installed the mobo last nite
