HTPC to Receiver - PCM Issue

[dalessandro12]

I have an Onkyo SR508 and am starting to piece everything together (see sig). Today I hooked up my HTPC with HDMI for video and SPDIF optical out for audio (my video card doesn't support audio over HDMI apparently).

I booted up and everything was fine and after watching a movie for about 20 mins, I saw my receiver was flashing "HDMI" and "PCM" back and forth and the sound cut out. A few seconds later, it came back on with a solid "PCM" on the display.

I've googled this and found that it is probably a setting somewhere but can't figure out where. Can someone help guide me? Is this a setting in the receiver or the HTPC?

Thanks for any insight.

Has anyone seen this before? I've tried several settings on my HTPC sound properties with no resolution.

So I just found this on Onkyo's site:

Looks like this may be my problem. Going to give them a call tomorrow (or Tuesday if they are closed).

Hello
Do you have by chance the solution to your issue? I have the same, with a SR-TX608.
Thanks!
