My system is currently setup like this:
HTPC -> AVR -> TV - Connected via HDMI
Everything works great, except when I switch inputs on my AVR. For example, I am watching HTPC, then decide to play Xbox 360 (also connect to AVR via HDMI), then decide to watch HTPC again. The HTPC is still on and when the AVR switches to the PC input I get video, but the NVidia HD Audio device no longer shows any connected devices (ie the AVR).
Currently there are two ways I can fix this. Disabling and then enabling the device either in Windows Sound Control or in the Nvidia Control Panel. The other way is by putting the system into Standby (or full restart) and then resuming.
I have Googled, searched these forums and read this thread about Windows Audio issues and the linked threads therein. No luck. Updated drivers and firmware. Still no luck.
So, to recap, I am having a issue with the Nvidia HD Audio driver reconnecting (handshake, maybe?) to the AVR once the AVR switches inputs or is turned off and PC stays on. As long as the PC goes to sleep, this is not an issue, but most times, it is awake doing stuff.
Any help or direction to some help would be greatly appreciated. I am also going to contact Nvidia to see where I can get with them. Thanks in advance.
