Ignoring the EDID works great for sound... but just using the modelines in
xorg.conf didn't seem to work I don't see why though.. it should.

I'm a little confused on exactly what is being removed from the EDID.bin
when modifying it, is it the sound portion? If so, then wouldn't xorg.conf
just need to know here the file is?

# the CustomEDID option tells xorg to use the edid-new.bin file
# and not the detected edid for the TFP DFP-0 monitor
    Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/edid-new.bin"
