   It's interesting, if not obviously helpful. One of my Raspbery Pis uses an   
   old HDMI Dell monitor with an internal audio splitter. From time to time   
   the audio drops out but the monitor keeps working. Occasionally the monitor   
   seems to freeze up entirely, not even responding to the power button. Both   
   problems tend to get fixed if I pull the power for a few seconds. The total   
   lockup seems clearly to be a monitor problem, but maybe the audio problem    
   has cousins living in the Pi.    
      
   Thanks for writing!
