    For whatever reason, whenever I'm watching a video or something online, my audio will just cut out for no reason via HDMI. If I leave it alone for a while it comes back, only to cut out again. This is driving me crazy!

    I've made no changes at all. Drivers are all updated, the cable itself is fine (Works perfectly for picture), and the integrated speakers work fine when sound is routed through them.

    Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Anyone? This doesn't happen when listening to itunes or surfing in general. ONLY when I'm watching vid's on sites like youtube. Driving me crazy!

    Figured it out. IE8 was the problem. I've since reverted back to 7.
