Hello Everyone,
i've just replaced my old HTPC with a new Intel NUC 5i5RYH (see system specs in my profile both for old and new system) and also my old A/V Receiver (Panasonic, connected via optical cable for sound and via HDMI to the TV) with a new Onkyo TX-NR737 (B), connected solely via HDMI to the A/V Receiver and from there to the TV. Both the old and the new HTPC are using Windows 10 Home.
The TV-Server i'm using is still the same (see specs again pls).
"Mostly" everything runs fine from the start, but i have some issues with the sound when watching TV (both live and recorded):
From time to time (sometimes once or twice a minute, sometimes every 2 or 3 minutes theres a short "lag" of the sound for a fraction of a second. It seems that the movie runs fine but just the sound hangs (sound simply abscent for that short time).
Please see the Screenshots i took when this happens. Since there's a drop at the red line i suppose this is caused by the new HTPC, not by the A/V Receiver. Unfortunately i have no idea what this means or where i can start to solve the problem.
What i tried:

What i tried:
- The one of the sreenshots: Other processes or a cpu peak isn't visible during this moment. Nevertheless i reduced the running processes to a minimum. So far i even didn't installed any Antivirus software.
- Manually downloaded all current drivers from the Intel Homepage and installed them
- Rewinded when the problem occures to see if it's allways at the same spots: It isn't
- Changed the Codec (i'm not quite sure which codec to change in the settings)
- See if this also occurs while watching Movies (they are also streamed from the HTPC-Server via Network)
- Connect the Old HTPC to the A/V Recever to see if the problem is reproducable (The old HTPC didn't have this problem)
