I am troubleshooting an issue with my HTPC setup, and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar issue or any recommendations.
Everything is working fine with my setup and XBMC, but for one issue. I have an HDMI cable from my video card to my stereo receiver and then to my TV.
The problem is that when I switch the receiver to another HDMI signal from another source for a long period of time, the HTPC HDMI signal doesn't come back. The HTPC is still operational...I can see it on the network and get to the files, but the HDMI signal never comes to the receiver, and I have to reboot the HTPC and it then works fine.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Is it my video card or the stereo receiver?
Seems to be related to the HTPC going into some default power save mode and the HDMI signal does awaken it again.
Any thoughts?
