Can I run the Directv Stream box through my A/V Receiver?

I'd like to run my Directv Stream box through my Yamaha receiver in order to take advantage of our surround sound, but when I do that, the picture on the TV takes several minutes to appear, and then it comes and goes (picture, then black screen for a bit, then picture, then black screen.)  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Our Samsung TV is about 6-7 years old.

How have you connected?  It should be as easy as DirecTV Stream box HDMI OUT to AV Receiver HDMI IN, and AV Reciever HDMI OUT to TV's HDMI IN.

That's exactly how I have it (and how I did it with Xfinity with no problems).  But with Directv Stream box, it's awful.  The picture just keeps  blacking in and out.  We even exchanged the box for a new one, but we have the same problem.

Have you tried a different HDMI cable?

Any video resolution settings on your AV Receiver or TV that you can try changing?

Everything works great except when I change volume the screen blacks out for 5 to 10 seconds.
