ATI HDMI Sound Issue After Monitor Sleep

My 7970 doesn't seem to care either, I've just been playing around with switching the amp and display on and off and the audio still comes back fine. It's all happy if the PC boots up first too.

It must be specific to certain displays, which I'm not completely surprised at tbh. I had these sorts of problems before with other AV amps, particularly one Pioneer one I had a couple of years ago that struggled to handshake if it wasn't on when the PC booted. Switching to this Yamaha solved it instantly.
 
Mine appears to be a bit more touchy than I thought. I already had the TV switched on watching something or other and booted up the TV and audio was AWOL. Brought it back by unplugging and reinserting the HDMI lead from the back of the PC.
 
I have mine working consistently it seems. I've done a few things over time and it might be a combo of them prior to the latest attempt ..honestly cant remeber what ... but as of last weekend ..

i tried going to Cat 13.1 from 12.11s .. didnt work

tried the latest realtek amd hdmi driver from Dec 2012 rather than AMD ... didnt work

went back to the AMD HDMI driver via installing Cat 13.2, still not working.

I then did two things during the same boot

In device manager, sound devices, found the AMD HD Audio device of my cross-fired 2nd card and right click, disable driver.

I have Sapppire Trix and have ULPS ( i take it thats zero core ? ) disabled, but i didnt realize that Trix might not be actually disabling it after reading a few posts.

So i got the two files needed to renable unofficial overclocking from the older Cat drivers ( which can be found here among many places )

Placed those in the appropriate places in c:\windows

i then searched through the registry and set any

EnableUlps
to 0
(nb dont change EnableUlps_NA registry keys ) .

And viola ! the PC has been up since Monday with mutiple montitor sleeps, multiple power management mobo sleeps etc and it still happily connects via HDMI audio to my AMP without any peeing about rebooting etc.

I strongly suspect its the 2 overclocking files that have allowed ULPS to be fully disabled, but after many months of frustration, i'm not playing about with it any more !

Hope it helps someone.
