Ok, so, this one seems strange to me, and hopefully you folks can help.
My setup is Chromecast -> Cheap HDMI switch -> Soundbar -> Projector (all hdmi)
And when things are plugged in this way, I probably get 1 second of silence every 5 seconds, but the video is unaffected.
Here's where things get weird:
It's just that the chromecast, and only the chromecast, doesn't like going through 2 hops, or something.
If I can fix the problem with a different switch, that'd be great, since I'm not really going to get a new soundbar or projector just for this, but I don't want to buy a new switch if it's not the problem.
And I have no idea where to start diagnosing the problem.
Any thoughts?
Projector: BENQ W1070
Soundbar: N450

Here's where things get weird:
- I have 2 others devices plugged into that switch that don't have this problem
- If I plug the chromecast directly into the soundbar, it doesn't have that problem
- If I plug the chromecast into the switch into the projector (skipping the soundbar), it doesn't have that problem
