To be honest I do not have a real advise for you I'm afraid.
BTW is this with all movies with DD sound? Can you get MediaInfo of one of the movies which causing this issue ?

I've tried many movies with DD in my local library or from online streams and they all have the same problem. What I haven't tried is DTS, since some people report that it worked fine even though DD didn't. Do you know a place where I can get DTS sample video?

Also I learned that there were some audio issues fixed with the latest firmware of the pi. Is there a way to upgrade the firmware while keeping the current version of xbian and xbmc? Or do I have to wait until the next version comes out?

Thanks for your help.

for testing files you can find most of the if not all formats on http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php

Regarding the firmware you can replace just the FW files in the FAT partition - files
