Description

After putting my Asus EEE Box B204 to hibernate, I never get the sound (HDMI Out via ATI Radeon 3450) working again. Occasionally, I might be able to get some "jittered" sound together with very slow playback (sometimes, when I leave the TV unattended and Boxee displays the screensave, I also get this...).

To fix it, I usually perform a Boxee restart...and whenever I am not able to close Boxee properly, I have to even kill the process manually by going to the Task Manager

It seems that it fails to properly initialize HDMI sound after coming out of hibernation and shows up the "Could not initialize sound..." error

Here's my setup:
Asus eeeBox B204 connected to Philips FTV via HDMI connector, using 1920x1080 as resolution, windows XP Home with all MS updates as from yesterday.
I am using the built-in ATI Radeon HD 3450 with HDMI OUT sound.

Hi, as requested, have just added some Boxee logs which eventually should show what is happening with the sound not being initialized properly.

Also, I'm taking the chance to add some extra info: When bringing up the computer from suspend mode, sometimes, I do get an error message "Could not initialize sound...". At the same time if trying to play videos, the stream plays awfully slow without any sound.

At this point, choosing the Logout option in Boxee produces no results and have to kill the application via de Task Manager. Starting again Boxee, results in the sound being properly initialized and everything runs fine again....until I put the computer into suspend mode again..

Thanks again!

I have the exact same issue w/ a Acer REvo 1600 running Win 7; restarting Boxee fixes the problem, but this is very annoying as this happens EVERY time I suspend my Revo.
