As much as I've enjoyed my new mini these past few months, I'm trying to pinpoint a sound issue I've randomly experienced with my mini (and/or possibly monitor) since I bought it.

I have noticed that at times, upon waking the mini the sound output is severely distorted and garbled. Usually the mini has been running for several days and sleeping anywhere between 30 min - 24 hours. The sound distortion, when it occurs, occurs across all apps (iTunes, Plex, Flash Player, etc...).

The mini is attached to a Dell U2711 via Thunderbolt/MiniDP, and my speakers are attached to the monitor via headphone jack. The issue is definitely not the speakers, since when I restart the computer, the sound returns to normal (also, this has occurred on two different speaker sets).

Has anyone else had similar issues with their mini, or possibly the mini/dell monitor combo? Thanks!
