Hi,
I'm on Windows 8 using the AMD High Definition Audio driver over HDMI that goes as follows.
PC -> Teac AG-D200 -> TV.
The AMD driver is latest (per AMD auto-update). I did have Realtek drivers which sort of worked but I uninstalled them to get XBMC Frodo working properly. Since then if I turn the receiver on after the PC, I can't configure the AMD HDMI Output to be 5.1 (and it doesn't work at all.) If the PC is restarted (or the Amp is switched on before the PC) it works as intended.
I found this thread here: http://www.avforums.com/forums/home...hdmi-audio-device-onkyo-av-pre-amp-issue.html which seems to be the same problem, and there was a fix using a batch file to restart the AMD driver (enabling and disabling the device does not work), but I can't seem to get devcon working on Windows 8 (the list just closes, and writing to a text file just creates a blank text file)
Anyone have any experience/idea how I can fix this?
Thanks!
EDIT: Also my GFX card is a 5770. I found this thread, which I'm not sure if it's the same as the issue I'm having http://www.avsforum.com/t/1227161/edid-overrides-to-solve-bitstreaming-issues-for-ati-5xxxs
If so is the problem exclusive to the 5xxx series of cards? I have a new card on the way (a 7950), will this fix itself?
