Alright, I am here again with yet another problem. I've Googled just about anything I can think of and the problem is... there's no definitive answer that I can find.
So, I'm using a Denon AVR-1610. It works fine with my XBOX 360 and fine with my PS3, but the HTPC is another story completely. If I'm playing a video with DTS, AC3, etc, the audio works fine. If I'm playing some AVI with mpeg audio, the audio will not work properly. It will either play for about 4-5 seconds and cut out (for good) or simply not play at all.
I'm fairly certain that this is actually a receiver issue or possibly a setting that needs to be set on my PC to be compatible with my receiver. The reason I believe this is because of the crazy work-around that I can use. If I am playing a video and switch to a different source on the AVR (say my PS3) and then back to the PC, it works without a problem. The audio will play just fine.
Note that everything is connected via HDMI.
I think I'm just technologically cursed.
