Has anyone at apple ever heard of regression testing? ATV audio still doesn't work on 4.3.3

I really don't think that there are any software validation principles in place at apple because my Apple TV has now been unusable for over a month due to all of these failed software updates.  Upgraded to 4.3.3 yesterday and it didn't resolve any of my audio issues.  I am using a DVI connection with optical audio out.  No audio on every 4.3 update.  I can get broken audio on the latest update (4.3.3) if I crank my receiver up to 50.  Used to get loud audio on my receiver set to 20.
If anyone is actually testing this software using any known software validation principles, it would amaze me.  Someone needs to give me my money back for this black boat anchor.

Specifically, the last section:
Additional Information
Even if your HDTV supports HDCP, you may still experience HDCP related issues when connecting your Apple TV (2nd generation) to your HDTV if:
You have connected your Apple TV to a HDMI-to-DVI adapter that does not support HDCP
You have connected your Apple TV to your TV using a HDMI cable that does not support HDCP
You have connected your Apple TV to your TV via an AV receiver that does not support HDCP
You have connected your Apple TV to a HDMI hub, switch, scaler, or extender that does not support HDCP
None of that is surprising at all. It's what I meant when I said it would be "unfathomable" to assume DVI wouldn't work when HDCP is supported. It would actually require extreme negligence or malice to create a device where DVI doesn't work, hence "unfathomable".
I don't even know where to buy an HDMI<->DVI adapter or cable that doesn't support HDCP. The straight-through $2 adapters and $5 cables from places like Monoprice.com work perfectly and "support" HDCP. I know this because I've used both. ETA: I put "support" in quotes because it's wrong to emphasize this as some special quality that might be hard to find or expensive. You'd have to actively seek out an adapter or cable that does not "support" HDCP.
