Just found out that there is a Diamond card that might work perfect. It uses a cmedia chip, and there are some open source drivers that are suppose to make it work really good. Plus its only $30
here is a description of the open source drivers:

Actually some sound cards out there do a very good job at mixing your audio through their optical S/PDIF output.
See Dolby Digital Live, that makes optical output from those sound card the premium audio solution for your PC.
Obviously if you already have an A/V Receiver that does a good job at mixing your HDMI audio then Sound Cards...

S/PDIF will pass Dolby Digital and DTS, but none of the high-resolution audio formats on Blu-Ray (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio). But, without a high-end receiver or amp and solid speaker setup, you won't hear much of a difference between them.

Had a quick look for info. on that driver and couldn't find any.
Who supplies the driver? Is it AMD/ATI or Realtek?
EDIT - OK, found it. It's Realtek. Will give it a go!
EDIT 2 - Tried it, still the same. Boot server, sound is fine, leave video playing, change channels on the TV, change back to PC, no sound.
EDIT 3 -...

How do I enable sound over the HDMI from the Gigabyte MA78G-DS3H motherboard?
Impressions:
First of all, the sound is much better than with the Pioneer I had to replace, surely because of the higher output specs. This might also be because of some processing to allow full surround feeling even at lower levels that I'm using. I had this on an older, non-HDMI Pioneer that I loved, and they called the setting...

Excellent thanks for the input guys. I think I really do just need to go to a nice audio/video shop and listen for myself, as I'm guessing I am looking way too high end for myself right now.

got it thanks. Installed the shark007 codec pack and set ffdshow to your settings. The passthrough option on the realtek killed the sound though. I changed output under mixer to "same as input"- and left the realtek setting to output digital audio source. 5.1 on DVD's - yay!!!

I think you can't do anything about it, except re-encode all your 44,1khz material to 48khz or the other way around through software.
Many people do this, because software makes a better job in resampling. Well, your soundcard does it on the fly, so what do you expect.....
For players like MPC to be able to switch the output-rate...

If you have a good amplifier, that does good channel-upmixing, DTS and DD you should consider a digital connection (let all the hardwork be done by the amplifier.
That way you have the same good quality with a crappy soundcard as with an expensive one.
If you have a good one you should consider to connect it analog, but then you...

Soundquality wise, I think the speakers used are the biggest influence normal people notice. Not talking about audiophiles..

only problem with my current sound setup is that the amp im using was part of my old dvd player setup, so the cable running from the sound card to the amp/sub is a custom made (as the dvd player audio out socket was a weird shape) so wont fit any of the sound card outputs.

If you want HD audio, and a more-than adequate GFX card, definitely go with the new ATI 5670 (i'm their new poster boy) and guess what? It's less than $100 for each manufacturer on newegg! Seriously, you can't go wrong with that deal...
