I've got a Core i3 4170 powering a home theater PC / server, and it's connected via HDMI to a 40" Philips HDTV. It works nicely for streaming video, and video playback to the TV is flawless with one major exception. Any time an application is playing audio at the time it exits, a flat dissonant tone is emitted that doesn't stop until audio playback is initiated. If you stop the app from playing audio (be it by pausing or stopping it altogether) before exiting, the behavior doesn't happen. What gives? This has inspired me to put a Radeon 7750 into the system because it doesn't give me any guff, but I'd love to know what's making it do that for future reference.
