Holy Crap! I got it.....
Well, I don't really understand it...but I had rebooted every single thing...except my AVR. I rebooted AVR and all is OK.
Wow, I'm relieved. I have hundreds of hours dedicated to ripping music to this NAS.....oh boy. Now I can drink wine...relieved.
Sorry, I'm a bit late here but I'm glad you corrected the problem.
Excellent lesson for all of us HTPC people. HDMI is a digital protocol with lots of "handshaking", which is basically a lot of talking back and forth from device to device. Are you OK? , Yes, I'm OK! Are you
still OK? Kinda like that..
The application Foobar has a direct connection with the receiver's HDMI port, so you can reboot the PC one hundred times and reinstall software all day, but the HDMI protocol stack on the AVR will stay locked up until
it is rebooted. Yes, the Audio receiver is actually acting as a computer in this case and can get "stuck" digitally, requiring a reboot to clear the protocol stack(the errors).
So don't forget to reboot the audio receiver in times of HTPC trouble.
