[ATI] ATI driver bug since 11.5 - Receiver not detected (1 Viewer)

[alexirion]

Hi!

Since ATI 11.5 drivers, my receiver (connected via HDMI) is not detected as connected anymore, when I do the following:

Precondition: Computer running with AV-Receiver switched off.

Reproduction Steps:

Turn computer to hibernate
Switch on AV-Receiver, while computer off
Resume computer from hibernate

Now, the AMD HDMI-Output device still shows as unconnected in the device manager and audio is not working.

Workaround, is to switch the AV-Receiver now off and on again (while computer running) and then it is correctly displayed as connected and audio is working.

This does not happen for cold boots, only when hibernated.

Seems, that the driver does not check anymore for a newly connected AV Receiver, when resuming from hibernate.

I have tested this fault with the 11.5 and 11.6 driver, which both show the identical behaviour as descibed above. With 11.3 and earlier drivers there is no problem and I didn't try with 11.4, yet.
I just reported to AMD. Does anyone have similiar issues?

Regards,
--Alex

I have the exact same symptoms..and the ATI driver is the likely suspect since this didn't occur before. I also tried the Realtek HDMI audio drivers to no avail. Will try to find seperate ATI HDMI driver earlier than 11.5.

EDIT: Tried out 11.4 and it works like a charm!

Having same issue on 11.5 Might go back to 11.4 then. Thanks for informing!

Has anyone tried 11.8 driver? (Just got my new HTPC, checking which driver is best)

I'm running 11.8 now, and seems to work so far.

What about the new one that is out? 11.11

11.11 is fine with me.

11.11 looks good to me too.
