I use a Logitech Harmony remote to turn on my TV / Yamaha Receiver, my 2018 Mini is connected to the TV via that receiver through an HDMI cable. This was the same setup I used when I previously had a 2013 MacBook Air doing HTPC/home server duty. The mini is "always on", never sleeping.

When I power on the system from the remote (one touch button on the remote), the TV/Reciever both come on and the input on the receiver is set to HDMI4 as expected (again, this was the case with the previous Air in place).
However, after a few seconds the mini seems to trigger the receiver to switch to a secondary audio input on the receiver, AV4, an input that just uses red/white RCA plugs and isn't connected to anything and isn't live in any setting on the receiver. I continue to have picture. I then have to manually switch back to HDMI4 to get audio again. Then it stays at HDMI4 w/o issues until the next time I turn it off and back on again.

Just wondering if anyone else running Mini > receiver > tv has encountered anything like this, or has other things to suggest trying.
