I've searched here but found nothing, I may be using the wrong key words.
My problem is that when nothing is playing in XBMC my amp is receiving no signal via my HTPC Opt. digital out. Thus when i navigate around the navigation sounds will not play unless they are long sounds or I repeat the navigation action. Every time i key press the amp says PCM and the L+R channels light up however there seems to be a delay in the amp playing sound and thus looses about 0.5seconds off the beginning of the sound. In most cases this is the length of the nav sound.
Does anybody have a solution to this issue, such as supplying a constant signal?
======settings=======
Audio output: digital
-Dolby AC3 receiver: checked
-DTS capable receiver: checked
Audio output device: defualt
Passthrough device: iec958
also I have an .asoundrc file for performing crossfading
