After EFI1.7 Update i still have HDMI Problems

Hello,

i use a Mac Mini (Late 2012) in the living Room. I connect it to the AVR (Denon) and my Samsung Flat TV.

After installing the new EFI Update 1.7 i still have the old Problems. I tried also the PRAM Reset. After this i was able to watch about 1hour

but then the old situation (Connection Error, Snow, No Sync)

When i use the Toshiba-Laptop with the same combination (HDMI cable, AVR, FlatTV) it works fine!!! So the cable is ok

Please fix the Problem with the Intel-Chip.

Greetings

I have almost the identical setup. I have given up on the HDMI port. Instead, I use thunderbolt->DVI adapter, then a DVI cable to the flat panel. For sound, I use a TOSLINK cable between the mac mini and the Denon.

So Apple has to give the Thunderbolt-adapter for free! I paid a lot of money for the Mac mini and one of the basics (connect a Monitor) doesn't work.
