No sound from TV

I've had a look and can't quite find someone with same issue.

Basically, I have picture but no sound whilst plugged into HDMI 1

On HDMI 2 I have Virgin box plugged in with picture and sound.

If I swap them around I now have sound on Now TV Stick (HDMI 2) and none on Virgin (HDMI 1).

But that's not all. If I turn TV off and go back on Now TV (still HDMI 2), I have no sound but now I have sound on the HDMI 1.

Swapping HDMI's round again sorts it back out but boy is it annoying have to swap in and out!!!

Tried XBox and Virgin box together and both have sound 😑

Very very weird issue @Anonymous User 

 

I'm gonna do a bit of research here and try and come up with a fix.

Are you able to rename the sources e.g 'HDMI 1' to 'NOWTV'
