I've recently purhcased an Asus
M3N78-EM mobo with HDMI out and built an HTPC around it. OS is Windows XP 32 bit.
Everything is working great and I've connected it to my Samsung 1080p TV via the HDMI.
I also have a Sony STR-DN1000 that I use to switch between multiple HDMI sources - it outputs video to my TV and processes audio passed over HDMI. I tried connecting the mobo to one of the HDMI inuts on the amp. It works fine except that if I switch sources on the amp, turn off the amp/TV, or do anthing to drop the connection, it won't pick up the connection again if I switch the amp input back to the HTPC input. The only way to pick up the HDMI signal is to have the Amp & TV switched to the right input and reboot the PC.
I'm somewhat perlplexed as to why it's doing this, and I'd like to know if there's a way of fixing it. I plan to keep the PC on most of the time; ideally if I want to view something I don't want to have to reboot first. I've established it's not a Windows thing as it does the same if viewing the BIOS screen via HDMI.
None of my other equipment connected to the Sony amp does this, furthermore if I connect the PC directly to the TV there are no problems with switching inputs either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
David
