[QUOTE="scott_mckenzie, post: 958162, member: 122101"] Hi Scythe, Firstly thanks for going to the effort of outlining the whole issue. It's frustrating that you have to code around this windows 'feature' , especially when there are so many different issues with which while on the surface are similar, are not exactly the same. I formatted/reinstalled since my last post as I had a number of other issues starting to occur with my HTPC, but am still having the same HDMI issues. I'll go through the details of my setup as well as the tests I have just done: - My HTPC connects from the onboard HDMI output to the HDMI input on my AVR - a Yamaha RXV-773 via a HDMI cable. - My AVR connects from the HDMI output to The HDMI input on my TV a a 42LG70YD via HDMI cable. - My key HTPC specs (see my signature For The Rest) are: - Motherboard is an Asus m3a78-emh HDMI with a Radeon 3200 graphics chip set. - I have Catalyst driver 12.6 installed - this is the latest compatible version for my chipset. I know I previously mentioned that I had 12.10 installed - it must have let it install successfully even though it is not compatible. - I have AMD High Definition Audio Device driver 7.12.0.7706 installed as well as Realtek High Definite ion Audio driver 6.0.1.5504. I believe these are the latest drivers. - I have SAF 6.1.9 installed using ATi Video Recorders for Video, LAV for Audio decoders, and Default Direct sound Device for the Audio renderer. - I have MP 1.2.3 installed with the Mustayaluca skin. - I have tried the following fixes on my current install: - [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/windows-7-keeps-muting-sound.101244/[/url]) - see the 3rd post re Moninfo. - Update the resolution in the registry (see first post here): “ - [url]http://experts.windows.com/frms/windows_entertainment_and_connected_home/f/115/p/80853/401754.aspx#401754[/url] OK now for the testing I have done: Scenario 1 - Leave MP on (nothing playing or recording) turn off AVR, and TV, and then just turn the TV back on. - outcome: MP half screen issue.
