Hey Everyone!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I have a huge favor to ask one of you smart people out there to help me figure out this crazy issue!
Before I get to the problem here is my setup:
ASRock ION 330HT (default hardware specs)
NVIDIA 190.53
XBMC Live 9.11 r26018
Audio output-->Digital
DD (AC3) capable receiver-->enabled
DTS capbable receiver-->enabled
Audio output device-->HDMI
Passthrough output device-->HDMI
Skin Transparency! V2.11
Samsung 46" LCD TV
Samsung Receiver (AV-R720)
My ASRock is hooked up to my Samsung Receiver via a HDMI cable. The receiver is then hooked up to my LCD TV via a HDMI cable as well.
I have a situation whenever I pause a video (any format) and play the movie again I get loud static noise out of my speakers. If I shut off my amp and power it back on the audio starts playing alright again. At first I thought maybe it was my amp or the HDMI cables I was using. I have tried many different HDMI cables which made no difference and I've already sent back my amp to the store and got some of the parts replaced with new ones (HDMI borad, etc). When I got the unit back with the new parts I tested out the videos again and I still get the static noise when pausing/unpausing. Now, I was playing with the setttings in XBMC and if I enable "Adjust display refresh rate to match video", "sync playback to disaply" and "A/V sync method to Audio clock" the problem is almost fixed. Now when I pause a video and play it again about 70-80% of the time it plays the audio fine. Sometimes however, when I start playing the video again there is a very silent hissing noise for a number of seconds and then the audio starts playing fine again. I'm not sure what else to do and I really would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this
FYI, if I use my Blu-ray player on another HDMI port on my amp I have no problems at all with static noise. Also, I have tried using different ports on my amp to my ASRock but that has made no difference as well. One last thing, if I hook up my WD TV Live box to my amp and play the same videos I have no issues at all with noise when pausing/unpausing videos. Thanks in advance for any help!!
