Realtek Digital Output option disappeared
Hi,
I have a Samsung laptop (Windows 7 x64, Realtek) connected to a TV via HDMI cable (audio over HDMI). Some time back, I had got HDMI Audio option (in Control Panel -> Sound) disabled so that I could use Realtek Digital Output (via headphone jack to Coax on my receiver) and it worked fine. Recently I played with these settings again due to change of receiver. I actually cant recall what started the problem, but Realtek Digital Output has disappeared. I have got 'show disabled/disconnected' option on but that did not help. The analog output (also Realtek) continues to show.
I rolled back, uninstalled, re-installed the Realtek HD driver a few times, but nothing has brought the Digital Output option back. I have seen a few posts on this issue, but have not seen any solution.
Thanks in advance.
Ed
