Hello everyone,
It's been years since I first modded my xbox and loaded XBMC. Now I am in the process of setting up a Windows 7-based HTPC running XBMC.
I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit last night and Windows appears to have installed all the necessary drivers without my intervention.
One thing I noticed when testing the audio was that the audio output from HDMI to my Panasonic Plasma TV seems to miss the first 1-2 seconds of sound. Upon logging into Windows the welcome sound plays but the first bit is cut off. This happens anytime I try playing a wave file too.
I've been searching the forum as well as google for a few hours now, and although it seems a few others have mentioned this problem before, I can't seem to find a solution that partains to Windows. Seems like all the solutions I find are Linux-based.
Tonight I plan to check for newer drivers (especially for audio) as well as update flash to the 10.1 release candidate.
In the meantime, if any of you have had this problem before I'd love to hear how you fixed it.
Cheers,
iPO
