Another HDMI Audio Problem
Hi everyone,
I know this topic is a popular one, I've done enough searches on google to figure out I'm not alone with this problem, but still, after a few years, I still can't find the answer. I realise there is a similar thread active right now but my problem is a bit different in that I don't have the option of HDMI in my playback devices at all.
I'm using
Samsung R480 laptop
Intel Core i5
nVidia GeForce GT 330M
High Definition Audio Device (EDIT: when I was updating the drivers Realtek uninstalled itself, this should read Realtek High Definition Audio)
This is a familiar story by now BUT: when I first got my computer my HDMI video and sound worked fine hooked up to my Samsung Plasma. I recall having some problems when I first tried to hook it up, but I figured it out (somehow, this was a couple years ago) and I'm 75% sure it had to do with the drivers. Then I went away for a year, came home and the audio is gone. I have updated all my drivers (I think) and Samsung Update Plus doesn't have anything for me. "Speakers" are the only choice in my playback devices menu and I have show disabled devices checked.
Apologies, I know this comes up often, but I'm at the end of my rope.
