Ok kind of a noob here so be gentle.  I built a PC and have had it hooked to to a Samsung TV through HDMI.  No issues for the past 8 months or so.  I recently had to do some work on it, specifically replace the CPU.  Replaced with same model and everything.  My GPU is an Asus Radeon R9 270x.  I've had no issues out of it prior either.  Yet when I hooked everything back up I get no option for HDMI on my playback devices.  I've done the basics, update all drivers, looked for disabled or disconnected devices under audio.  Tried a different HDMI cable.  Can't seem to get anything to work.  I'm not sure what all info to give but any help would be amazing.  I'd like to not have to run a separate audio cable if i can avoid it.  Thanks in advance!

Use DDU to uninstall the drivers. Then when you reinstall the driver make sure that you have Audio over HDMI checked. Also you probably already did this but right click sound, hit playback devices, then right click in the center box and hit show disabled and disconnected devices.

I know I've looked for sure and HDMI isn't listed at all even with disabled or disconnected devices checked.  I tried last night to do a clean install of the latest Radeon driver (it had a checkbox for "clean install").  I'm sure that's not the same as using DDU so I will for sure try that.  Something else that may have screwed it up for me while this PC was down I hooked my SSD up to another box and booted from it.  I know it pulled some nVidia stuff from the 2nd box but thought I uninstalled it all.  I bet there's something clogging the pipes somewhere.

DDU did the trick.  It WAS some leftover nVidia files blocking it from working.  Thanks so much for showing me this!
