[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1291454, member: 141969"] I don't know why the audio renderer appears to change, but one possibility is that this is a result of the so-called "silent stream bug" (this phrase is widely used on the internet). Some digital to analogue converters (DACs) switch themselves to a lower-power state if they do not receive a digital signal for more than some number of milliseconds. The problem is that they can then take longer to wake up when they do detect a signal. My Sony TV is like this, causing the start of all button sound effects in MP to be missing (I hear only the end of the sound effect). This makes button sound effects unusable on my system :(. It is possible that if the DAC remains in the low-power state long enough, MP detects this as a removal of the audio renderer, and stops playback (if that setting is enabled). Another possibility is that a change in the nature of the digital data (for example, changing from stereo audio to Dolby 5.1 audio) requires a switch to a different audio renderer, and it is this temporary removal of the audio renderer that MP detects. (This is just a guess.) I am glad that the change in the setting fixed your problem. :) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
