Hello Phill,

Iam running mythbuntu 12.04 with a NVidia GTX 650 with HDMI out and a 
Onkyo 605 Reciever and everything works fine. I dont think its a 
reciever problem. I used to have issues with a Soundblaster card thought 
that would drop sound. It was the actual driver for the sound card that 
SB supplied. It would crash now and again leading to the same situation 
as you. Perhaps its a sound driver problem instead?
