The Problem seems to be caused by an issue with the ATI-HDMI-3 sounddevice.Under special circumstances (I have not been able to reproduce them), the hdmi handshake between the soundchip and my AV-receiver (Yamaha RX-V465) fails and the sound-symbol in Win7 system tray shows the "muted" icon. A balloon-tipp tells me that "there are no speakers connected". In this case the whole windows-sound is muted and MP reacts as described.It looks like this happens on rare occasions if the AV-Receiver is set to a different source while the ATI-Sounddevice initializes. However, I have not been able to reproduce this.A Catalyst-Upgrade from 10.11 to 10.12 seems to have solved the issue but I have only been testing for a couple of days now.Cheers, DiePlage
