No Sound with HDMI connection
I've just built my first computer, and everything works fantastic, except that when I connect my PC to my HDTV through HDMI, I get a crystal clear display but no sound. I can plug in headphones and hear everything that way, but that is my only option right now.
It is curious because I have installed a Radeon HD 5450 video card with an HDMI port. I installed the DVD driver (Version A8.98W) and the visual sizing was fixed, but like I said no audio. I've checked the playback devices, and my TV seems to be listed as "AMD HDMI Output", which wont play sound (even if I set it as the default device) . I've also checked the Device manager and seen that "AMD High Definition Audio Device" is listed under "Sound, video, and game controllers".
The only way to play sound is to disable the AMD HDMI Output and plug in headphones so that the audio is playing on what the PC thinks is speakers.
Anybody ever seen this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
