[QUOTE="blub, post: 1076339, member: 144185"] Hi I have searched extensively over the last 4 Months. Here are my solutions that solved all HDMI related issues: 1) For anyone with a decent AVR just make a HDMI EDID override by capturing your AVR's EDID and make a windows monitor-inf-file (merging TV and AVR makes only sense when the TV does support something the AVR doesn't). You will definitely get rid of "no audio" (for bitsreaming - "normal" sound see below) and "no video" bug that's sure - [B]given that you don't have a bad cable or HDMI plug.[/B] 2) You will still have the half-screen issue with MP though. You can get around that one by configuring your HTPC to a monitor resolution of 1080p with NO hardware attached (meaning no TV no AVR - just unplug HDMI at the back of your HTPC). You then should access your HTPC via remote/RDP connection such as VNC clients. Set the resolution to 1080p. If it cannot be selected (greyed out or not available) set refresh rate to 30hz and look again - for ATI/AMD users it should the be available then. Once 1080p is set Windows will no longer re-size your desktop on HDMI connection loss/adding. 3) If you don't have audio after resume in MP it is most likely due to windows away mode muting your soundcard and then not restoring/unmuting it - or some other windows bull*** or MP itsself is muted. Download SoundVolumeView. Open MP and play a video file - you should see MP in windows audio settings with a volume silder, if you don't then your are currently bitsreaming. Either select a different file or disable bitsreaming for a moment. Once you see MP in windows volume options open SoundVolumeView and save the profile. Make a batch file that loads that profile with a delay of your liking - I have set 30s) Configure Windows scheduler to start that batchfile after resume and you should be all good. If you have questions feel free to ask. [/QUOTE]
