As far as the no audio issue, in my case, and I think others as well, it's more of a 'no response' issue. The 970 powers on and you can't make it do anything...either via remote or on the unit itself. It seems like it's a no audio issue since it doesn't output any sound...but realistically it's a problem where the unit simply will not respond to any input until it's powered off (and in my last case, unplugged) and then powered on again. My unit was supposedly shipped with the latest upgrades when I bought it last year, and it still does this.
This apparently was a byproduct of the latest upgrade that some but not all users had. I am not sure how to do it, but if you could revert to the prior firmware it should fix this problem. No one reported this problem until the latest firmware. I didn't upgrade my unit because of problems like this reported after upgrading. My no audio problems are manageable and not frequent enough to justify the chance of this bug in the upgrade.
