Switching From HDMI Audio Output Back To Built Audio Output
Win7 RC (64 bit version) Recently I had to plug in just a monitor and speakers to my system (and unplug the HDMI TV input). Per the control panel, it correctly states that there is no HDMI device and standard line out is the active device. (Little bar graph goes up and down as audio supposedly is being outputed). (If I boot XP the audio works just fine.)
My question is can anyone provide a pointer to where to look to see where the audio stream is going (I think it is still heading towards the HDMI port).
Hardware - I7, MSI X58 MB, ATI 4350 graphics card, NO audio card (just built audio).

Problems With Audio Output Switching
I must say, as someone who's had major distaste for Vista, and generally grumbling about this or that 'fluffy' wasteful features since Windows ME & XP.. I really like the polish that's already in Windows 7 Beta. It's been an absolute treat in most cases. However, as with every OS, it's got it's own.. personality quirks. The current one that's making me absolutely twitch, is sound.  You can set a 'default' sound output, and microphone.. But that's a misnomer. It should be 'Currently selected'. "Default" is instead 'whatever was last activated / plugged in'. So when I'm trundling along, adding microsoft peripherals.. I end up loosing my Dolby 5.1 sound. In this case, going from the onboard sound that was set emphatically (and amongst swearing after the fifteenth time I've set it in the past month) as default.. over to either the 360 wireless headset (which is admittedly logical, to a point).. or to the 360 controller. Both the wireless and the wired do it, despite no headset being hooked up to them, but the profound and sudden silence of music that was playing usually heralds things connecting properly.  So. My curiousity is somewhat simple. How do I force it to -NOT- change the sound settings automatically and misguidedly 'helpfully', so I don't have to manually fix it every single bloody time?

Hdmi Audio / Std - Speakers Switching
ok to uncomplicated things ive read thru the forums and could not find anything concrete on this problem of mine.. i have a gigabyte mobo/amd cpu w/onboard hdmi my issue is sound switching right now as it stands, i need to manually switch on my pc between the HDMI audio as my main device and my PC speakers as my main device... on my laptops this is not a problem, it can automatically detect if hdmi is plugged in and switch sound over.. the main reason is its a slight pain to keep going over after a movie and switch over, nor do i want to disconnect a hdmi cable every time.. any suggestions how to automate this problem???

Have Realtek High Definition Sound But No Hdmi Output
I've upgraded from vista to 7 and I am getting no sound, I've searched, searched and tried alot of different things, I see alot of people on this forum with the same issues, but I've tried most of them. I've installed and unistalled all the different drivers from realtek, but no luck. I have realtek high definition sound but no hdmi output. In my device manager it says the sound driver is installed properly, but when I tried to test the sound it fails to test tone, I don't know if it has to deal with an audio codec. I have regular speaker that connect to a sound jack. At this point I am quite desperate. I've spent all night trying to figure this out.

No HDMI Sound And No HDMI Audio Driver
I'm using the two monitor in the same time (I was working with the Iiyama and I was playing music or films with the HDTV). With Windows XP Pro, I've sound on my HDTV. Since i've installed Windows 7 64 bits (ver. 7100), I don't have any sound on my TV (it works perfectly with my speakers connected by 3"5 jack). I've correctly plugged the SPDIF connector from my motherboard to one of my video card (which have the two monitors plugged). Other information, when I go in the sound configuration, I see my speakers and the "Realtek Digital Output" but no HDMI Audio. I've tried to install NVIDIA HDMI Audio driver (I know that this driver is for integrated nvidia GPU but i try just to see ;) ). No audio on my TV I've tried to install older audio driver (for windows 7, vista and also windows XP) => No audio on my TV Is someone have an idea? I think that it's the NVIDIA Video driver that don't allow to have sound and i try new version but i'm not sure. For the moment, i'll display films on the tv and use my speakers to have sound but it's weird to have video in front of you and sound from your right, the stereo sound is not really usefull there.

Quick Audio Switching
I have my Realtek Audio device connected to my home theater receiver through s/pdf and to my monitor through the green jack on the back of the pc. When I am surfing the forums or what not, I have sound set to analog through my monitor. When I switch to Media Center, My output is moved to the s/pdf by right clicking the little speaker and selecting playback devices, and changng my default device, then starting Media Center. However, sometimes. I forget to do this and I have to close Media Center and make the switch. Question is this. Is there a hot key or software appy that can do this for me when I launch Media Center? Perhaps a Batch file, witch I have no experience with.?

No Audio Via HDMI To TV
I installed Windows 7 yesterday and at first I had no audio to my TV via the HDMI cable. I adjusted the settings via the sound icon on the taskbar, playback tab, changing whether the speakers or the Digital Output Device (HDMI), Sigmatel High Definition Audio Codec was the default. Eventually I got it to work. Today, however it has stopped working again and no matter what changes I make, nothing works. When I right click on the playback device Digital Output Device (HDMI) and choose TEST, I get the message: Failed to play test tone. All sound comes through the laptop speakers. I went to device manager and checked the driver for the codec and it was up to date. When I was using Vista, to get the audio all I had to do was plug in the HDMI cable and the sound automatically went through the TV. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

No Audio Via HDMI To TV Problem
The problem: Sound is working fine through my laptop speakers but when I connect it to the TV via HDMI cable the sound still comes through the laptop. I was previously running Windows Vista Home Premium and it worked absolutely fine. As in, the sound came out of the television speakers when I connected the notebook to the TV. I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium and since then it does not work. I would appreciate if anyone could help me. Right now the default sound output device is: Speakers/Headphones - SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC. The other two listed are Realtek Digital Output (Optical) - Realtek High Definition Audio and Digital Output Device (HDMI) - SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC. When I try either of the other two sound does not work at all. With the Realtek one it seems to recognize the sound but I don't hear it anywhere and with the HDMI one, it doesn't work at all i.e. Fails to play test tone. I have installed all the latest drivers according to manufacturers.

BluRay Audio Via HDMI
I've been keeping an eye on these forums; I find that it provides the most succinct information regarding Windows 7. I finally bit the bullet and made myself a HTPC running Win 7 RC 64-bit. The whole purpose was to play ripped DVDs (to VOBs) from my NAS, any downloaded shows (as AVI's) from my NAS, and hopefully BluRays via the BD-ROM (I have a PS3, so this was not the main reason). It seems that I was able to get the first two objectives working without any work. All I had to do was install the latest Catalyst drivers. However, I can't seem to get Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Ultra (or Windows Media Center) to play BluRays with anything more than 'stereo.' I've tried to research the topic, but there's just too many acronyms flying around (PAP, AAC, AC3, etc) that reading forums is like greek! From my understanding, I know I can't get the DD TrueHD (or DTS-MA) to work via HDMI. However, I THOUGHT I could at least have PowerDVD "convert" (is the proper word downsample?) the DD TrueHD to a 5.1 Multichannel audio. Am I completely wrong? Is what I want even possible?

No Audio Via HDMI To TV Cable
I have happily been viewing movies etc from my laptop to my TV via an HDMI cable for the last 2 years. However, I installed Windows 7 and at first I had no audio to my TV via the HDMI cable. I adjusted the settings via the sound icon on the taskbar, playback tab, changing whether the speakers or the Digital Output Device (HDMI), Sigmatel High Definition Audio Codec was the default.

When I right click on the playback device Digital Output Device (HDMI) and choose TEST, I get the message: Failed to play test tone. All sound comes through the laptop speakers. I went to device manager and checked the driver for the codec and it was up to date. I downloaded all available updates from Windows and my laptops software updates and just now re-installed my sound and video drivers but to no avail. When I was using Vista, to get the audio all I had to do was plug in the HDMI cable and the sound automatically went through the TV. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Lost HDMI Audio
I have a Sony VAIO VGN-AR390E laptop. It has a SigmaTel High Definition Audio device and an Nvidia 7600 GT. My HDMI audio doesn't work and I have tried for hours today to get it working again. It previously worked just fine in Windows Vista. I am connecting it to an Integra 7.8 receiver which has video pass through via HDMI to my Mitsubishi WD-73737 monitor. I have tried connecting straight through to my TV with no luck in the audio department, and also to someone else's TV with no luck in the audio department. However, a different laptop's HDMI audio worked just fine. The image is displayed correctly though. Today I tried uninstalling my current nvidia drivers (195.62) from laptopvideo2go and installing 2 different sets of video drivers provided by Sony for my laptop that are a bit dated now. No luck. I uninstalled and re-installed the current audio drivers by Sony. No luck. I also tried the previous version of the audio drivers without joy too. I also installed the Intel chipset drivers too without luck. When I go to the control panel and click sound and properties, I am setting the HDMI/SPDIF output to default and disabling the speakers/headphones option. The speaker icon in the taskbar shows the sound levels going up and down while playing material back- but I can never hear anything. I've tried the 44khz, 48 and 96 options, and Dolby Digital, DTS checked and unchecked and nothing makes a difference when I'm trying to test them. Everything used to work with my receiver except for the WMA Pro option. Now my receiver just says "No Audio Stream Detected" while I'm trying everything. I did have the K-Lite Codec package installed but since deleted it. I also tried messing with the AC3 Filter- and also deleted. No luck there either. I've tried powering down and resetting all of my equipment many times. I'm out of options- any suggestions are very welcome!

HDMI Gives Audio Through Monitor Only In Win 7
When using XP, I can get HD audio through my ASUS VK266H monitor from my Radeon 5850 video card AND, simultaneously, normal audio through my desktop speakers and subwoofer from my DMX Fire 24/96 soundcard. This gives me a cheap solution to surround sound, which is also very useful for varying the volume levels of music during late night browsing sessions and full on parties. Windows 7 however only allows the use of one or the other, through the Sound Manager default system. This is troublesome to use for other users on the PC, especially young children, who have little or no idea of how to switch the sound output. Could MS patch this please, so as to allow both sound systems to run concurrently as in XP, allowing the user to control output levels from the far more easily accessible volume controls on the equipment?

HP Pavilion HDMI Audio Static
I have an HP Pavilion laptop (DV9334us) that I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. Prior to the upgrade I used the HDMI output to a a Vizio flatscreen to extend my desktop to watch Hulu, etc. With Vista the HDMI video and audio output to the Vizio worked fine, but since upgrading to Windows 7 the video output to the Vizio is fine but the audio is crackly.

Video / Audio And Hdmi Card
I have a nvidia gt 9600 video card, and want to dual monitor to my large screen tv to use media center to watch movies, go online, etc. The card has 2 dvi outs, one goes to my primary monitor, the other I have a dvi>hdmi cable>tv set up. I know I do not get sound out of this video card, but can someone show me the proper card that I can get both audio and video out with using my hdmi cable to do this? The geeks at Best Buy seemed baffled when I asked them about a video card, and using just the hdmi cable to do what I wanted.....I do not want to run multiple cables, etc...

Problems With ATI HD 3450 Audio Via HDMI
After uploading newest drivers, scrubbing my clean install of various generic audio and video codecs, drivers, devices and tools, I had spend about 4 hours of my life trying to get audio to work using a device that worked under XP MCE 2005. Enough being enough, I weighed the costs and purchased a Galaxy GeForce GT220 for about 90 bucks at that local big box store. Sure I could have saved about $20-30 driving about 30 minutes each way in winter wet weather. I wanted audio over my home theatre system and I wanted it now. First I downloaded the newest drivers available, installed the card, ripped out the default drivers and installed the new set. Peace of mind, 7.1 sound, priceless. I'll use that other card in my office where the silence of a passive card will be more appreciated.

Dell 1535 HDMI Audio Not An Option
I've recently upgraded my Vista 32 bit system, on a Dell Studio 15 (1535) to the 32 bit RCA of Windows 7 (Build 7100.) I used to have audio output via HDMI and now I can only output it to the on board speakers or headphones. I've tried running Windows and driver update, but Windows says I have the latest drivers. I have download the OEM driver that came with my system from Dell and ran it in compatibility mode as Vista, then as an administrator with no luck. This is a huge drawback to keeping the OS if I am not able to output both audio and video over HDMI as my only monitor I output to is via HDMI. Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix? I am currently running driver version 6.10.0.6162

No Audio Over HDMI Upgrade On XPS M1330
After upgrade from Vista 64 to Win7 the internal speaker work, as do all audio jacks (both speaker and microphone). But when I connect my laptop to my HDTV via HDMI, I get no sound throughput. Also I can not see in playback devices the HDMI audio option. I already updated the SigmaTel Audio Driver and the Intel GM965 Express Chipset Video Driver and still the problem.

Surround Sound Works Via HDMI, But Not WMV, No Audio
I've got a bit of a problem with my audio with my new installation of Windows 7. Previously I had Vista installed, and had no problems with my Realtek HD audio. Installed Windows 7 everything looked good, then realized my Sony A/V receiver model SA-WCT100 was not outputting my movie collection in surround 5.1 like it use to using Vista. I figured, that�s cool, probably need to install ac3filter_1_51a, I had to in Vista, and it worked a treat when I enabled SPDIF pass through. I guess I should mention I�m using HDMI all the way through, from my PC to the receiver, from the receiver to the LCD. Well, that didn't fix it, everything still plays in stereo. After scratching my head and clicking here and there, I finally found a little tab in the sound settings of my Realtek HDMI setting called 'Custom'. I selected it, it said to enable AC3, DTS, etc click this box will require a restart. I said awesome, sounds like just what I need. I clicked, and rebooted. I went into WMC, and setup my audio wizard again, and selected 5.1, and tested, and this time it reported 5.1 on my Sony receiver as before it only showed 2 channels (Stereo). I played some of my DVD rips, and bam my DVD rips were playing surround sound again. I was like that was easy enough. I went to test my Blu-Ray rips that I had converted to WMV HD using TMPGEnc Xpress 4.0, and the video started to play, and I was like, wheres the damn sound. I noticed on the receiver, it didn't report anything for sound. I had no idea what was going on. My surround sound was finally working for everything, but my WMV HD videos had no sound output. I mean I can't even get stereo or anything out of them now. At least before the WMV played in stereo, now I can't hear anything. Please someone tell me what could be the problem, I don't know what else to try. I don't want to have to revert back to stereo, and disable the magic box under custom in my sound setting. I have downloaded the latest Realtek drivers form Realtek, version 2.35 for the ATI HDMI audio, and the Digital Audio. I also have the latest drivers for my integrated Radeon 3200 graphics card. I read that sometimes a high resolution can affect the audio, so I lowered my resolution from 1080p, and that didn't help, which I figured it wouldn't.

Radeon 4670 Graphics Card Code 12 For HDMI Audio
This is my only unsolvable (to me) hiccup with Win 7 so far running on an ASUS P5AD2-E Premium Motherboard. I'm using a Saphire Radeon 4670 graphics card which has integrated HDMI audio suport. Some people seem to have this working in Win 7 but no luck here yet.

RC X32 Intel GM965 Driver Issues With HDMI Audio
I have a Dell 1525 inspiration laptop with Intel GM965 Express Chipset Video. I was running Windows Vista Ultimate on it befor upgrading to Windows 7 RC Now However the HDMI Audio nolonger functions or shows up under audio devices. I was using intel driver 7.14.10.1409,A03 but windows 7 upgrade rolled the driver back to a older one. I tried installing the newer driver but it says its not compatible with the operating system and won't install. I tried the latest driver from the Intel website 15.12.4.1666 (7.15.10.1666) but the screen goes black or flashes. I guess this is why Windows 7 is using a much older driver that is stable with the operating system. Anyone know a work around to get the HDMI Audio working?

No Output To Toshiba TV
Since switching to Win7 RC, I cannot get any output to display on my Toshiba TV. The BIOS will still output to it, and the windows startup splash screen outputs to it, but as soon as it gets to the point of showing the log-in screen, it stops outputting (TV shows "No Video Signal" and the display reverts back to my old monitor that I still have plugged in). Video card: GeForce 9800 GTX+ I've tried every driver available for Vista, Win7 Beta, and Win7RC, and none work. I installed Win7 Beta back onto another hard drive, installed the latest driver, and had output on the TV without any issues, so it's only in the RC.

Cant Output To External Monitor Only
Im running 7 on my laptop, and im trying to get it to output only to my external monitor when the lid is closed. I can get it to extend my desktop, but when i close the lid, it turns off the external monitor. I have set Windows 7 to do nothing when lid is closed. Is there anyone else with this problem? I have an Dell Inspiron 1525, with Intel x3100 integrated graphics, if that helps.

Sound Output With A Delay
There is a very big latency when I'm trying to hear the keyboards plugged into line input. The signal generated on line/mic/ any input source it comes out on output with a delay which is making impossible to do multitrack recordings. This could be because of the asio type driver behaviour? Because of that, I cannot sinchronize with a pre-recorded track... In Xp is working fine on the onboard audio device, and I have an extra pciex audio card with the same delay no matter what drivers or operating system I'm using. If it is a possibility to make them working in direct mode (like a direct transfering the signal from input to output) let me know.

No Output From Video Card
I just converted my desktop from WinXP pro to Win7 pro (32 bit) with the plan of making it a media PC, since my wife and I do most of our work on our laptops anymore. It's built on an Asus M2A-VM motherboard (which has an AMD 690 chipset). I also put in a Radeon 3450 card, which has DVI, VGA, and HDMI out. I'm planning to use the HDMI to drive our TV, but I have everything connected to a monitor while I make sure the computer is set up correctly. Here's the problem: I can drive the monitor using the DVI output on the motherboard, but I can't get a video signal out of the DVI port on the video card. Win 7 sees the card, and says it has it set up correctly (as a Radeon 3400-type card). It is having issues setting up the video adapter in the chipset (calls it a Radeon 1200 device), but I disabled that video adapter, which should eliminate any contention? The VGA adapter on the board is the only way I can get video output right now (again, through the DVI port on the motherboard). My usual practice when I'd have a problem like this with XP, was to strip out all of the video drivers, and then thrash through all the driver versions until something worked. Does anyone have any suggestions before I go that route?
