Thanks for the feedback L2W!

As for the other problem...

The three components in my setup are:

- 47" Philips 47PFL7422D/37B TV
- Onkyo HT-RC160
- Custom built Shuttle with a SAPPHIRE 100252HDMI Radeon HD 4550 512MB graphics card (HDCP compatible)

Previously I had my computer directly hooked to my TV through HDMI with no issues. Could also play Bluray using PowerDVD.

Currently, the Shuttle is passed to one of the HDMI inputs of the Onkyo receiver (in thise case the DVD/BD port). From there the receiver is passed to the TV through another HDMI cable. It's a pretty basic setup.

I currently have my receiver set to "TV Audio ON" since I don't have my speakers yet.

A more detailed manifestation of this can be given in two examples: The first is the startup tone for Windows. When I log in, or log off for that matter, only about the last half second of sound is played when it goes through the receiver, whereas if it goes straight to the TV the entire tone is played.

The other manifestation is when I play music after not having done much for a while. If my computer is sitting idle of not doing anything that produces sound (like web browsing) then I start playing music, I lose about 2-4 seconds of sound at the beginning of the first song I play.

One thing I did notice is that occasionally, when I watch videos, as soon as I launch my player (in this case Media Player Classic), I hear a power relay switch from the receiver and the display goes from "TV sp ON" to "TV sp OFF" and then back to "TV sp ON". Other times it just sits with the display reading "TV sp ON". All the while, it does not pass these small sounds to the TV.

These are minor annoyances but I'd rather it be passing all sounds in the event that some situation in the future requires that I be able to hear such tones.

Let me know if you need anymore information.

[Edit] I forgot to mention, I run Windows XP MCE 2005.
