Has anyone had a problem with the Kangaroo audio? I have a kangaroo and am using it with a Planar touchscreen monitor. Sometimes the audio via HDMI works great and sometimes there is no audio at all. Anybody else had this issue and what did you do about it?

Turn on your HDMI display before booting up the Kangaroo.

When I boot my Kangaroo first, with no active HDMI audio device (my HDTV) to connect to, it uses the generic "speakers" output as the main audio output, with no other audio devices (shown or hidden) to change it to. At that point, rebooting the Kangaroo (with the HDTV on) is the fastest way to get the sound back. Maybe making the system detect new hardware would work too, but it seems easier to just reboot.

If I turn on the TV first, the Kangaroo sees it at startup and puts HDMI audio as the main output.
