Pearl Mini HDMI out bug

Found a strange bug in the HDMI output of our Pearl Minis. Using them to ingest SRT streams, and routing the SRT inputs direct to the HDMI output. Every morning, when we spin up the streams, we see video, but have no audio. As soon as I select the option to actually show the audio meters on the HDMI output, the audio kicks in. Then I can go back and turn off the display, and audio remains. Is this a bug, or am I missing something??

That could be a bug, I cannot recall running into something like that before.
I will file a report to investigate this further.
Thanks
