[McButton]

2nd point: I've been fighting the Chromebox "no audio on restore" issue for a year.
I applied the patch that MattDevo suggested at the time, but it never took hold. On my old TV, it was never an issue. The new TV must register the HDMI ports differently when it idles or something.

That said, is there a new, cool update or fix for this issue now?
Rather than just leave the box ON all the time, I'd rather just use "suspend" and hit a button to restore it from sleep.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

There are 3 workarounds/fixes to this issue:

1. Use a suspend/resume script to disable the audio on sleep and re-enable on wake
   
2. leave the Chromebox on all the time
   
3. use the suspend/resume script to reboot the Chromebox on wake
   

Thanks for the suggestions! Leaving the box on is probably ok. It seems like if I do...it'll go idle...but upon resuming the idle, the audio dies too. It's something with the TV. My previous TV has no issues at all. This one....is a jerk. Maybe remove idle too?

The suspend/resume and reboot script would likely work fine. I like keeping everything where I was at, so maybe not this. I think I'm currently using the audio reset method now. My settings are like that in the wiki:

mkdir -p /storage/.config/sleep.d
cd /storage/.config/sleep.d
curl -L -O https://mrchromebox.tech/files/kodi/01-c...sume.power
chmod +x 01-cbox_resume.power

I'm using HDMI1 and change the timing a bit too. I set it to like 8 seconds to let my TV warm up before the Chrombox sets, but notta.

Odd that it just isn't working with my TV.
