Really dude? Okay I did a factory reset, no dice, I reinstalled the OS, No dice, Turned HPD lock Off, no dice, Tried turning on the other equipment first and after the vero, no dice. The sound issue was intermittent and became worse, to the point sound would disappear in the middle of a movie.
Run around, run around.
Never had these issues with the Raspberry PI, so put it back in place and all problems gone.
So yeah… it’s my attitude that is the problem LOL
