[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1285841, member: 141969"] One possible cause is that your audio device is trying to save energy by powering-down the digital-to-analogue converters when there is no signal. This is known as the "silent stream bug". My HTPC behaves like this (HDMI audio connection), although I don't know whether it is the Nvidia audio device in the graphics card, or my Sony TV. It makes the MP sound effects unusable, as most of the sound effect is missing (I hear only the tail-end of the sound effect, so I have disabled them). I believe that there are several tools that keep the digital-to-analogue converters powered up by continuously sending a small signal that is too quiet to hear. Names that come to mind are: [LIST] [*][URL='https://veg.by/en/projects/soundkeeper/']Sound Keeper[/URL] [*][URL='https://blog.rhysgoodwin.com/htpc/spdif-keepalive/']SPDIF Keep Alive[/URL] [*][URL='https://github.com/handruin/spdif-ka']SPDIF KA[/URL] [/LIST] Note: I have no personal experience of any of these tools, so use with caution. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
