I have my PC hooked up to a Harmon Kardon 171 AV receiver via HDMI. When playing movies etc on my PC the receiver will switch its surround sound mode to best utilise the audio sent over the HDMI cable. Unfortunately when I play Minecraft I get problems with the audio as the receiver will switch to surround sound when there are noises being made, but if I stand still (no noises being made) it will switch back to it's standard output mode. This would not be too much of a problem, but whilst it is trying to find the correct audio mode (1/2 seconds) no audio is output at all.
I have tried to set the receiver to always output in a specific way, but the surround sound options are only able to be selected automatically by the receiver. I am therefore thinking I want to force the audio signal over the HDMI cable to be set to some surround sound setting so that the receiver will not keep trying to switch it. Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?
Thanks,
Dan
