Up to my ears at the moment so throwing this weird one out in the open.
running a media center based on asrock board with above chipset and quite often the sound disappears after shutdown or reboot. audio is piped down hdmi to tv
going into windows volume controller the master volume and wave are both down at minimum no matter what the last volume setting was at shutdown.
Manually set to say half way and reboot usually fixes but as system doesn't normally have keyboard attached
its a pain. have tried last drivers from asrock and whql ones off nvidia site but no difference.
Anyone come across this?
