[QUOTE="Berns, post: 1130495, member: 96677"] Just sharing a bit of experience. This issue would be technology dependent and also driver dependent. I've lived similar issues. (I'm still running MP v1.3, as it suits me fine) Technology: My TV is a Sony and my AVR is a Yamaha. The TV would show up as display device and sound would come out of the AVR (because it was set to only produce sound out of itself). When I would switch of the TV, no sound would be present. Pretty annoying if you have a dinner with friends and just want the music to be present in the room without the screen. That's why I tricked the system a bit by putting a split box between the AVR and the TV. Result is that this box is still active, even if I switch of the TV (power off or stand by), and the AVR still produces music. I have friends who use multiple devices connected to their AVR's. The behaviour of what happens when the TV is switched on or off is dependent on what the other devices are doing (stand-by, on or off) and how these are set to treat HDMI signals. Sometimes, just switching 2 devices between interfaces on the AVR solves an issue. All trial and error. That's one of the reasons why I switched to an HTPC in the first place: One machine to do all the work. (The HTPC has a blu ray reader, and I would not know why I would be using AppleTV when there is an HTPC present) As it turns out, HDMI that wants to be a plug and listen/see experience becomes a bit of an annoyance every so often ... Driver: I recently bought the blu ray "how to tame your dragon 2". For some reason the display doesn't come up with my old TMT3 software. I did play with the drivers of the display and the sound card (and got into trouble and had to fix even more problems with the sound/AVR/TV HDMI combination). After a lot of re-installs and reboots, my sound is again what I would like it to be. The one blu ray is still not working (unless I activate anydvd and use the option to generate anydvd menus, allowing me to work around the particular issue) So, my first question to try and help you would be: are you sure that you did not change your configuration over the last week (adding/removing devices, or keeping a device in stand-by instead of off, changing HDMI configuration in the device settings, etc.) [/QUOTE]
