I have a Dell Studio 1737 with Windows 7. Everything works fine for an hour or so and then the sound becomes very distorted and increases in volume. I am using the HDMI output on the laptop to a Sony Bravia and to my Receiver. When the problem occurs I close XBMC and restart it. Sometimes I have to restart XBMC several times for the sound to be good again. It plays for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours and then the problem happens again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
