The best would be to connect your HTPC to the Sony HT through an HDMI cable, and connect your TV to the HDMI out of the Sony HT. That is the best way of connecting. The Sony HT will not degrade your video if that is what you are worried about.

This seems simple ..... HDMI out from your GPU to HDMI in of your Sony AVR. Another HDMI cable from sony HDMI out to your TV HDMI in.

Since you have two HDMI outs, connect one cable from the motherboard out to your HT and connect the second cable from your graphics card to your TV.

Now make sure you have intel graphics drivers installed, Lucid Virtu installed and then in your playback software select the Intel HDMI output as your audio output device.

Thats it. Job done! Now audio will go to the motherboard hdmi out and video to the nvidia hdmi out.

I think you need to make the settings to play audio from the Sony HT only. This setting will be there in your Sony HT. Just check it out. This way the video gets passed to the TV from the HT and the sound comes from the HT speakers.

Thanks

Merely connecting the hdmi cable to the receiver won't give sound. You need to set hdmi as the default sound device in your pc and the media players.

Right click task bar volume control > Playback devices > Set hdmi as the default device. Also set the property of hdmi to 5.1 speaker system. Now set hdmi as the audio device in your media player also.

I had the same problem. Apart from the above solution you may have to disable the realtech digital device (onboard audio of MB) in your device manager with only the nvidia controllers enabled. That worked for me.
