Hi all,

anyone ever experience this before? let me briefly explain my situation

i hook up my HTPC to my AVR via HDMI and from my AVR hdmi output to my LCD TV.

but i couldnt get any sounds, as soon as my LCD is off. The AVR shows "no signal" and the HTPC shows "AMD HDMI Audio" offline.

i'm not sure if this is ATI driver issue or my AVR issue.

here are my spec

HTPC VGA : ATI 5770
AVR : Onkyo 707

hope someone can help me here

Thnx
