You're using HDMI. Get a different hdmi audio amplifier. One that doesn't
take 3 to 10s to get a lock..

Additionally, I doubt the audio setup would have presented you with the
audio device you have configured and that it must be one you typed by hand.

I can guarantee you that the audio setup screen knows better than you when
it comes in selecting the audio device.

If you want to get a bit more meaningful idea on what is going on: run
mythfrontend with -v audio,playback
