Sound loss after MCE idle overnight/long time
My W7MCE PC ceases driving Samsung TV speakers after a "rest" period.
The PC is only used for TV/PVR Plex work. About a week ago we noticed the issue (although wife says it has happened a couple of times before but very very infrequently )
Only MSoft security updates have recently been applied to system.
At the end of the evening having watched Live TV, I normally press stop on remote control and leave MCE showing guide. TV screen is then switched off.
In the morning I power on TV screen and once the MCE guide is showing I press Live TV on remote control. The picture appears but no sound.
Checking control panel sound shows HDMI connection active and green sound bar moving.
If I turn MCE sound to minimum I get subtitles which suggests to me that Windows is producing audio stream.
Logging off from Windows and logging on again clears problem.
I have checked "services" and Windows audio is set to start "automatic"
The only thing I can think of doing is to system restore back to an earlier date.
Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
Mike
