Q: HDMI audio reverts to internal speakers (when turning amp or TV off).
Hi folks,
I have the unibody Mini connected to my Yamaha RX-v567 amp by HDMI, and the amp is connected to a Panasonic 42v20A plasma by HDMI.
If the amp is on, but not the TV, the Mini detects RX-V567 in the audio output. If the TV is also on, the Mini detects Panasonic in the audio output.
The problem is that it seems that due to the detection of two different HDMI devices, depending on which are turned on, it sometimes reverts back to internal speakers. It's as if it detects Panasonic, then you turn the TV off, and it decides 'that device was disconnected therefore revert to internal speakers...'
I need to find a way to lock audio output to the HDMI connection in some way, or disable the internal speaker option.
Any tips?
Bruce
