OK I finally figured out that the custom edid option works but because I 
was feeding the vizio from both the rbg and dvi ports on the card using 
separate x displays I had 2 Device sections in the xorg.conf file. My 
mistake was not adding the CustomEDID option to both of the Device 
sections. Once I did so hdmi audio was disabled and analog audio worked. 
In addition what appeared to be overscan in the DFP also was cleared up.
