Many thanks, I had a feeling it was something along the lines of delayed detection of the sound card.
I have set a 'Wait For Network' delay in the OpenElec AddOn settings, fingers crossed it works
Cheers

Hi, I have a HTPC providing video only output to my TV via HDMI through a graphics card (GeForce GT 610), and then a seperate PCI sound card (Trust SC-5250) providing optical audio to my Denon amp. (My Denon amp is old without HDMI input, explaining my setup configuration of using optical over HDMI for audio passthrough).
I configure Kodi with the Passthrough Output Device set as my sound card, and everything works perfectly.
However, sometimes after rebooting the HTPC, the passthrough output device has been changed to HDMI by itself, and I manually have to change it back again.
It doesn't happen every reboot, but happens quite frequently causing loss of audio when I go to play movies sometimes.
Why is this happening?
Is there a way I can lock the Passthrough Output Device to my sound card so Kodi stops changing it to my HDMI graphics card randomly?
Thanks
