Hi there, long time reader, first time poster Nod

I'm running the Dharma Beta in conjunction with Aeon65. Everything is more or less smooth apart from one slight irritating problem.

My HTPC is connect to my LCD TV via an amplifier. I like to be able to switch between sources on the fly using a universal remote. However, if I switch away from the HTPC (with XBMC enabled) and back again, the sound is disabled and I get a message saying 'failed to initialize sound' and to 'check audio settings'.

I've fiddled with the audio settings but can't seem to find a solution. I'd be really grateful if someone could offer some advice. XBMC is an amazing piece of software (and I'm a recent convert from MediaBrowser), but this issue is preventing it from forming a smooth and integral part of him home cinema experience.

Thanks
