I haven't found a board that does it "right" with the on-board HDMI.. but 
I do have a setup working with one of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127301

..connected to the coax SPDIF out on my motherboard.

I've also gone one of the new Radeon cards (HD 3600, IIRC) with an 
integrated audio card hooked up to the HDMI output.. haven't had time to 
finish up the frontend that card will be used in yet, though.
