okay. so, i got a pretty swanky sony 7.1 AVR for a fathers day present ( http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...=STRDN1010 ), and i'm attempting to send 7.1 surround sound via HDMI to it. it works... most of the time. most of my library of dvd rips have ac3/DTS tracks. most of the time, everything works just peachy. sometimes, though, XBMC gives me a 'failed to initialize audio device" problem, and i get no sound. what's the easy way of tracking down what the problem is here, whether it's settings in windows, or in XBMC?
