I usually have my computer connected to my LG TV via HDMI cable, recently I tried disabling the sound from my LG TV, so it just played through my computer speakers, however when I disabled the HDMI driver in the sound driver menu, I also lost visual display. I reconnected my computer through VGA, but then even when I click 'show disabled devices' I still can't find the HDMI driver again, therefore I can't get my computer to work through the HDMI cable again.

The disabled HDMI device should show up in Device Manager if you can't find it in Sound.
There wouldn't have been any need to actually disable it, since you can simply set the default playback device to your computer speakers.
