My setup details
Sony STR-DH820 with two HDMI's coming in - xbox 360 and my PC (from a GTX 550-ti vid card)
5.1 speakers out - 3 polk in the front, two Bose in the back, and a Polk sub.
HDMI out to TV LG 55LV4400
My main problem is the receiver skips into LPCM randomly and the sound goes out. Doesn't matter if it's coming from the xbox or the PC, though it started mainly with the xbox signal. I linked it directly to a heat issue (though it's in a very open cabinet). I have a separate fan on it at all times and that eliminates the LPCM glitching. I returned it to the geek squad and they had it for 3 weeks and did all the testing for overheating issues and couldn't duplicate the situation so their only explanation was that I had incompatible or bad speakers. I very carefully wired it back up and not long after, it started glitching again. So I tried disconnecting one speaker at a time and that didn't help. it was still glitching off with just one speaker plugged in. I found a forum on here that had people with Samsung TV's and LPCM issues (which is what prompted me to register).
My second and more irritating problem, is that I have to disconnect and reconnect my display settings on my PC every time I open my computer except sometimes if the receiver is on before I wake the computer, the sound will work. Also, sometimes, inexplicably, the sound just won't work no matter what settings I use and how many times i disconnect and reconnect and what I have set as default audio device or not.
Is there some very basic thing I'm missing? I had a friend set up the receiver for me so I have no idea what the settings are beyond the input buttons. when it works, it works great! but it's too much work!
