I have an NVIDIA GTX460SE video card that suffers form this bug even with the latest HD sound driver. Do any of the 600 series cards still suffer from this issue or is this something one doesn't have to worry about anymore?
 
doubtful as it isnt really a bug and more of your reciever's response time when detecting an input
 
Mac, I got two GTX660s on cyber Monday last year before they disappeared from manufacturing and distribution channels. And yes, the silent stream HDMI bug is gone completely. Nothing to do with the AVR (Onyko TX-NR818).

Mods, my apologies if this is considered to be a necro post.
 
like i said, itsnt really a bug, it was by design. Poor design mind you.

When there is no sound, the audio drivers kill the output, causing your receiver to drop the signal.

When sound is again detected by the receiver, some take a little time to re engage causing the beginning to be clipped.

Its fixed by injecting silence into the signal so there is always an output. This needs to be done at the driver level for cards that suffer from this flaw.

I would assume at this point, newer cards have that function designed out of them.

It was a nasty problem 5 years ago.

Actually, the cause and effect is explained more eloquently at the link below along with a software solution (gave this link earlier indirectly);

Not arguing as to whether it should be called a bug or not, just called it what everyone else did and indicated that a newer video card also solves the problem. Your first post gave the impression that it was an AVR issue and doubtful that a newer card would solve the problem. Perhaps I misunderstood your post.
 
theres a massive thread on AVS as well.

Theres been a number of software solutions over the years, but none of them have been particualrily great.

I suffered from it myself for a number of years with a Gigbyte Mobo and an nvidia 8700 iGPU till i finally replaced it with a haswell board and cpu that doesnt have the issue.

Drove me nuts.
