Windows 10: HDMI audio stream is shut off when there is silence, makes AVR shut off, too

Hi.


I just re-installed Windows because it was corrupted and now I have audio problems. It worked for years (and it still works with Windows 7 on the same PC), but now Windows decided that it doesn't want me to have continuous audio.


When there should be sound, it will output an audio stream just like normal. Problem is that my AV receiver needs about 5 seconds to start and only then I actually hear something. And when there is no sound to output, Windows will shut off the audio stream, making my AVR shut off, too. When there is audio again, the whole process repeats.


It never did that before - and I have done a fresh install multiple times in the past years. What is wrong? I can't even find a solution by using Google Bing...


Cheers,

Christopher

Windows 10 does not detect Sony AVR as a sound device


If Passthrough is enabled, it will see just the TV. https://www.sony.com/electronics/sup...icles/00021373

I would suggest editing your original post with the how everything is connected (ie TV to AVR HDMI Out, AVR input from PC). Then state hardware in bullet point. Then troubleshooting. It makes it easier to read. Suggest going through the Setup steps on your AVR also. https://www.sony.com/electronics/sup.../45373541M.pdf Also suggest to reinstall the drivers for your GPU.

 

GTX 680 HDMI sound on Yamaha AVR

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum but not to technology *Wink Here is my question :

I have a GTX680 plugged into a Yamaha RX-V367 receiver. I then output the video signal using the AVR video out to my sony Bravia tv. Here's the issue... I get sound and picture... fine, but when I look into the windows sound settings, it shows Sony 01 and not my yamaha AVR... It seems to me my GTX 680 is skipping my whole AVR and using the Sony's internal codecs to output sound on my 5.1... the sound is good but not Yamaha good. When I power down my TV and have music playing on Windows media player, the sound cuts for a bit then comes back only to be super clear and crisp... also my HDMI signal flashes once then comes back on the OSD of my AVR as it seems to jump from the TV to my AVR. I also set my AVR to be on 'amp' and not on 'TV' to use the AVR sound but It still shows my Sony 01 as only usable audio device in windows sound control panel... I could buy a DVI to hdmi adapter plug it in back of my GPU and plug one HDMI cable to my TV for video, then use the HDMI out on my video card to plug in the AVR... but is there a way to skip this step?

Thanks!

 

Random shut down and restart??

Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
E220@2.406hz
2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
Windows xp

Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused *Mad

One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
