I apologize if this issue has been addressed, but while XBMCLauncher works great everywhere else, about half the time, the sound won't come on, I have to exit and restart XBMC. I have the setting for the Launcher replacing Explorer as the Shell and while I could disable that and it would most likely work, I'm wondering if there's a solution anyone knows of so that I can keep the much faster "Launcher as Shell" option.

I get the same problem. I have the pc plugged into my receiver by hdmi and I quite often need to restart xbmc to get it to recognise the hdmi connection... Only happens half the time, pain in the bum!
