Audio Stops When TV Screen Sleeps

(1/3) > >>

JimH:
I've had the problem described in the subject for a while.  I have a computer connected via HDMI to a Sony receiver, and then to a TV.  The problem only happens if the TV is on.  If I never turn the TV on, audio will play forever.

I found this similar problem at Apple:

A user there recommended the HDMI Detective from Gefen.  It's $129.

I'm testing a Kinivo that cost $60.  So far, it seems to work.

Breaking the video connection is most likely severing the audio connection, since they are typically linked with HDMI.
The only fix would be to prevent the display from turning off or using a device like the Gefen to make the receiver think the display is still connected.

Hendrik:
One of the reasons I'm using USB audio now. HDMI is sadly not designed at all for audio-only applications.

For this particular problem, it seems to work in some hardware combinations, not in others...

JimH:
It generally works well for me, but it does have some idiosyncrasies.

I'm using the HDMI Detective mentioned above because of the same problem. http://www.amazon.com/Gefen-EXT-HDMI-EDIDP-HDmi-Detective-Plus/dp/B001RIMZUW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409578813&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+detective
