And what happens when a system sound is played after that?Thanks for the tool. But for me it doesn't change anything. It seems to work fine, changing the icons color and all that. But after I stop a dts movie the amp will stay in dts mode although the icon went to green....
Well then it works as intended. The purpose of the tool is to prevent the AVR to go into "standby mode" on the designated digital input. In your case (or in anyone's case maybe, I haven't had the chance to test this myself) the AVR keeps its last state that was active, apparently.Then the amp will go in stereo mode. The next system sound will then be audible.
You mean standby of Windows Energy Management or of MediaPortal? It shouldn't interfere with the latter. And the former shouldn't matter, unless you don't have a "true" HTPC setup.I won't run the tool, especially because I just noticed that it might interfere with standby.

Windows Energy Management. My sys didn't go to sleep all afternoon. Powercfg /requests showed something about the sound card being busy (obviously). Uninstall of the tool, sleep well. I don't know if it was the tool but as mentioned above I don't need it so I don't care...You mean standby of Windows Energy Management or of MediaPortal? It shouldn't interfere with the latter.

Oh, yes, I re-read your first post in this thread again. Your problem is definitely not the same as the OP's one . The issue is, that with some combinations of Audio Source and AVRs, the AVR will go into a 'standby mode' on the respective digital input, when no sound is played. And then, whenever a sound is played, like a short UI sound from MePo or windows, it will be cut off at the beginning, or not played at all, because once the playback of that sound starts, the AVR first has to initialize the decoding and playback of that input.Ok. Apparently I looked for a solution to a problem I do not have. My htpc and amp work as you describe it. Without the tool...
