HDMI Sound Distortion on 2012 MBP

[YouHadMeAtMBP]

Hi, there!

I'm experiencing terrible audio distortion via HDMI on my 2012 MacBook Pro 2012, which I connect to my HDTV for movies or music using a div adapter. Whenever there is an action scene or anything that requires the bass, or if I'm simply listening to music, there is a substantial amount of audio distortion. I'm not using the headphone jack, and everything is being transmitted via HDMI. The image looks just fine.

At first, I thought it might be the HDMI cable, the adapter, my TV, or even the sound card on the MBP. But here's what's strange: Because I also run Windows 7 via Boot Camp, I decided to test things on Windows instead of Lion, and voila! The sound via HDMI works perfectly on Windows 7! No distortion at all when using Windows.

Please help...

Bump. I'm having the same problem. Haven't tested Windows yet, but will right now.
