Greetings!

I have OpenELEC beta 4 installed on three machines at my home. Two are ZOTAC MiniMAG ION boxes, the third is a ZBOX-HD-ID11. After following the advice on the forum, I managed to get sound working over HDMI, with one strange exception.

For some reason, the audio will periodically "Drop out", at which point it will go silent for a second, my reciver will flash to let me know an HDMI audio stream has been "found" and it will start playing again. Video continues fine through this moment, just lose the audio.

Any ideas? Not a huge deal, but gets kind of annoying. If I need to post anything in the way of log files, please let me know...

Does this happen randomly, or is there some kind of pattern to it?

For example, are there specific movies where it does this more than others, or does it happen x minutes into every video.

Do you get this dropout with both movies and videos, and does it seem to happen more with certain types of audio (For example, does it happen on 7.1 tracks, but not stereo or 5.1 tracks)?

It happens on all movies, tv shows and videos, regardless of channels. Not "regular" in timing, but it seems to maybe be at or around 15 minutes in.

OK, how about with with music?

Haven't tried with music as I don't really like the XBMC music interface, so I don't use it for listening to music.

It might be helpful to know, though.
