Edit: The issue has been fixed. The cause seems to be the Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard.
-I've tried different HDMI cables, both generic and expensive.
-I've tried different HDMI ports.
-I've tried an add-on GPU using the Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard.
-I've tried disabling all other audio output sources aside from HDMI.
-I've tried playing with audio settings on the TV.
None of the above worked. I had to swap the motherboard out for the original Biostar one that was in there, but had no HDMI, and add an external GPU (HD 3450 256MB in my case) for it to work flawlessly. The irony is, had I bothered to dig out the HD 3450 when we first bought the TV to allow for HDMI output on the Biostar motherboard, I would not have had to replace it with the Gigabyte motherboard to begin with.
Our parents bought one of the Dynex 55" TVs that were on sale during Black Friday. While they have no complains about the quality, they do have an issue with an occasionally soundless boot.
It seems that whenever the computer is turned on before the TV, the computer will not output any audio. Windows sound settings shows that there is sound but through S/PDIF rather than HDMI. A reboot solves the issue, but it does get annoying. I've tried both a $30 Belkin HDMI cable from Best Buy that my neighbor lent me, and a $3 Rosewill HDMI cable from Newegg. Both have the same issue.
Is this because of the crappy TV? Or is it a Windows 7 or BIOS setting?
The HTPC specs, off the top of my head:
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H
Athlon II X2 245
4GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 1000MHz
