Realtek HD audio for ati

[poised_owls]

About a year ago, when I first built my PC, I had real difficulty with audio drivers. I'm using a TV as a monitor through the hdmi port on my AMD 7950, and it displays video fine, but no sound comes out. Headset works, though. I managed to fix it, but then I got a new motherboard and I reinstalled windows (I realise now it was a bad, bad idea, since I lost all my drivers and stuff), and now I have the same problem, except now I'm really stuck. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers many times, to no avail. It seems to detect my TV, but not be able to send audio to it. I can just use my headset, but sometimes I want to use my TV's speakers.

Have you looked at the disabled devices?

 

I don't know about AMD but with my Nvidia card, it has an Nvidia HDMI audio setting that's independent from my onboard digital outs.

 

Could the audio settings for the AMD card be in the driver settings for the card itself?

thats why you buy headphones or speaker?

May I refer you to this section of the OP:

OP have you tried using a different cable? It might make a difference... Definitely worth a shot if you have another cable just lying about. 

 

Another thing that I noticed in the screenshot is that it does pick up your TV as somewhere to output audio, yet it says it isn't plugged in... Was this plugged into your TV when you took that or not? I'm going to assume the latter, so all you'd have to do is right click the Realtek HDMI Output section and click "Enable" or "Set as the default playback device" and it *might* fix your problem.

CCap, I don't have another cable to try, but the cable I'm using is the same one I've used the whole time, back when the sound was working. My TV is plugged in, but I can't set it to default because the option is greyed out, and it seems to be enabled
