Stop HDMI from cutting out when changing song

[tombates]

I bought an Onkyo 5.1 set with a HT-R390 amp, I have this connected to my laptop via HDMI and it works great and sounds brilliant,

However when I skip a song the audio stops because it stops receiving audio for a second while the song changes, it switches back on after 2 seconds into the next song however I want to hear the beginning of songs is they anyway to make it so this doesn't happen

What program and OS are you using?
Do you have optical out on the Laptop?

I am running Win7 on my laptop, it doesn't matter what program it is.
I tested it via the headphone jack to RCA and it doesn't skip the first couple of seconds.
I haven't got optical out
