Recently my HTPC with a 7850 connected to my Sony STR-DH820 via HDMI. All was working perfectly as I play media via XBMC but recently have started playing music (mp3's) using Windows Media Player. I have the CCC Codec pack installed (but have uninstalled just in case). I'm using Windows 7.
The problem is, Movies in DD/DTS/DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD play absolutely perfectly, games in Windows absolutely fine in DD but mp3's in WMP or VLC have random audio dropouts for about a second, the receiver display flashes for a second or so and then resumes as normal. It happens on most mp3's at no specific time etc but only on mp3's and it doesn't matter what bitrate etc it may only happen once in a track or 3-4 times but it's consistent enough to be annoying.
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this could be? I don't listen to music enough to warrant replacing equipment but as everything else is fine I can't imagine it being a hardware problem.
