Just a small note on the 12.4 HDMI audio issue, if you have a version of Windows that allows user switching (leave the account "logged in" with application states saved, but switch to another account) you can switch instead of log off (even if the PC only has one account), and it'll reinitialize your audio.
I'm not sure if the Home versions of Vista and 7 allow for this, but I know Windows 7 Professional does.
It's handy if you have a lot of startup programs, or don't want to re-open all your tabs, or whatever might be going on, while letting you leave power-saving features on.
Great tip, switch user is a good workaround, you don't even have to switch to another user just use the function itself.
I haven't find any way to prevent it from losing the hdmi audio link after idling too long even without any sleep or powersave.
Performance in game is excellent though. -
I upgraded from 12.1 to 12.4 and it gave me a really big performance boost!
The driver however has a general problem with HDMI audio out if you are using that, if your computer goes into sleep/powersave it will lose the audio link and only way to remedy that is by relogging your user.
It's clearly a bug in the driver but I'm trying different ways of solving this right now mainly by disabling all manners of powersaving and sleep for the display/PCI slots.
