When I set my screen to turn off after x minutes it does so properly. But when I move the mouse again subsequently, the video feed comes back correctly but there is no audio feed sent to my receiver anymore (hooked up by HDMI).

If I set the screen to never turn off I can turn off the screen manually and the problem doesn't occur. But I really like to be able to just have the screen turn itself off after a period of inactivity and I was able to do so perfectly with my GTX 560 Ti on the same setup previously.

Is this a known driver problem or something I have not set correctly?

Please help, kinda frustrated!
