[QUOTE="corporate_gadfly, post: 801136, member: 113254"] [b]Re: AW: Windows 7 keeps muting sound[/b] Upon wakeup by user sometimes, I would get the red mute icon in the taskbar. I used the technique described in [URL="http://www.pcmediacenter.com.au/forum/topic/30303-auto-run-program-after-resume-from-s3/page__view__findpost__p__211865"]this post [/URL] (allows you to run a command specifically on resume thru Task Scheduler) to execute [URL="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html"]NirCmd[/URL] to unmute the system. That takes care of the problem when user resumes the PC. On the flip side, when the system is resumed due to a recording (I use ForTheRecord, BTW) and I happen to turn on the AVR and TV to watch other media or TV in real time, I get no sound. Happens every time in such scenario (no sound). I don't see a red mute icon in the taskbar (perhaps because I have NirCmd unmuting the system upon resume) but still no sound. I have a feeling that the HDMI handshake is not happening. No matter what I try (I've tried switching inputs on the AVR, turn AVR on/off, turn TV on/off), the sound won't come. In order to not destroy the recording in progress, I have to resort to waiting for the recording to finish and rebooting the HTPC afterwards (drastic). On second thought, unplugging/plugging the HDMI cable would work as well (system is hard to reach from the back though). So, in my mind these are two separate issues. [LIST=1] [*]red mute icon after resume (when user resumes) [*]no sound after system resume (due to recording) [/LIST] I will try the moninfo approach when I get home tonight and the HTPC is interruptable. Has anyone tried [URL="http://mymce.wordpress.com/2010/10/24/hdmiyo/"]HdmiYo[/URL] and knows if it is better? Cheers. [/QUOTE]
