Sorry, then I don't understand your problem. I have absolutly no problems with my Zotac ION Mainboard and HDMI Audio output.
I think some motherboard integrated chipsets have had working HDMI audio for some time, even Nvidia, PCI-E cards have not had the support. But I wouldn't like to swap my not-that-old P5Q motherboard for this.
I am using PCM Stereo output and when I have DD sound then I am using AC3/DTS PassThrough over HDMI.
Pass-trough (even via SPDIF) is fine if the content is DD or stereo. I suppose encoded HD audio (DTS HD or Dolby TruHD from Blu-Ray) pass-trough is missing from many graphics cards even in Windows but personally I wouldn't mind seeing 7.1ch PCM indicator instead in the AV receiver like with my fat PS3.
