Sometimes the sound disappears after my ATV2 has been inactive for a while. That is the receiver has been turned off or been used on another input. I have to reboot the ATV2 and the sound comes back. This also have happened on my windows version of XBMC...
I use the Eden Beta 2 with Quartz skin.
Is this a known problem?

might be special to your setup / receiver. I'm switching inputs for receiver between multiple xbmc instances running on osx, ios or linux and don't have that problem - even when doing this for hours and switch back then...

When you switch the atv2 away from your receiver input it should shutdown the HDMI output i think (if you switch back it makes a new HDMI handshake which might be the problem for you - when there goes something wrong here). This is something which is handled in iOS itself and can't controlled by us.

This happens to me as well. I have the most basic set up, just an ATV2 hooked directly to the TV via HDMI.
I believe it is an XBMC bug. It happens after being idle for a long time, and if I exit XBMC into the Apple GUI, sound returns. Then I relaunch XBMC and it's fine.
It seems to have started with beta 2. I just updated to beta 3 last night, so I'll see how that goes.

I have the power saving settings configured to quit after 60 minutes. Not sure if this is a factor.
I've got the ATV2 hooked directly to my Sharp TV via HDMI. I am using a wireless-g connection, and most nights I am using Navi-X or Hulu via Bluecop to stream something. I set the sleep on my TV, and that's the last I touch anything until almost 24 hrs later, when I pop the TV back on and look for something to watch. It's more than likely that at the time the TV turns off, any stream I was watching would be over, and it would be sitting in a Hulu or Navi-X menu.
I'd then be browsing the menus that next night when I turned the TV back on, and notice no sound when I start streaming something, whether it be from a program within XBMC or local content. So I exit back to the Apple gui, and relaunch XBMC, at which point the sound returns.
The timing seems to correlate to when I updated from beta 1 to beta 2. I updated to beta 3 last night, but I believe I actually exited XBMC and put the ATV2 to sleep manually last night, so I don't expect the issue tonight. I will test tomorrow.

This also happens to me
I am using Eden on Ubuntu 12.04, booting directly into an XBMC desktop session

this is the ios (e.x. AppleTV2, iPhone, iPad) section - since audio is platform specific go to the linux section please...
