FYI: I was having the "AUDIO Not Plugged IN" problem on my SONY VGN-FW139E when directly plugged into a "Newer" tv. Sound used to work and then stopped.
The problem kicked in around when I installed Windows 7.
I fixed it by deleting the Audio HDMI device from hardware and then scan for new hardware. I could then click it in hardware/sound and set as default.
Just info for those that need multiple audio playback devices as some have stated having to unplug HDMI when using other programs. Most programs allow you to manually select what audio device you can use for playback despite what is set for your default. In my case I have my gaming headset plugged into my Realtek device(my default) and then I went into WMP, Media Center, and Pro Tools and manually selected my Sound Blaster as the playback device. It keeps me from unplugging cables and allows my wife to hear music off the network drive while I am gaming at the same time. Works great.

Look who is back hehehehehe. I have a small problem now, my sound pass tro HDMI cable, but at time intervals the image stop pass and the signal is restarted, did u know what is?
I had the same problem with HDmi video blinking out... I desceased the resolution and video is always on (Sony laptop)
Sorry to ask and forgive my stupidity, but what means "desceased the resolution "?
Resolution is the amount of rows and columns of pixels that can be displayed on a monitor/TV. 1920x1080 with progressive scan is considered 1080P(blueray/HDDVD). The same resolution without progressive scan is 1080i(HD TV channels). You may be losing sync and need to lower your resolution to keep sync. Follow this turtorial:
Screen Resolution - Display Settings
Update your system specs with all your pc hardware so any future issues can be addressed more effectively. Cheers.
Haha... I'm still learning how to type on this iPod touch... I lowered the resolution... I forget the numbers but 780 was too high so I dropped it to 720 or something. Video has been solid ever since. Also I had to set it back after win7 upgrade.
This is killing me. I was having the same "not plugged in" problem. I finally was able to get past that by setting the onboard audio to "Enable" rather than "Auto" in the bios. Now I have my HDMI audio output set as default, but as you can see in the picture the ATI HDMI Audio still says not plugged in, and I still have no sound!:
Help?
FYI I am running Windows 7 32bit into a Sharp HDTV. I can play my HD Camcorder back through the same hdmi input on the TV and get audio just fine. Video card is an ATI Radeon 3600. Running the hdmi cable directly from the hdmi out on the card to the TV (no DVI to HDMI adapter).
