could you email me the steps that you take to unistall that ATI catalyst software? Eversince I did a update I lost my sound and it is really bothering me, it will say its testing and show via the playback devices that there is audio but it doesnt make it to the cord
Mary G, That is ABSOLUTLY false! There is no reason for a person would not to get audio via there HDMI reguadles of what the sourse is cable, computer or otherwise! The HDMI port has not only the video driver linked to it but your audio driver as well, the issue is with the video driver. My HDMI was working fine until a "update" was installed and I have not been able to get sound through HDMI since

Thanks for the tip. I will add it to the HDMI Audio FAQ the next time I edit it.

Hi,
I ran into some kind of a similar situation connecting my Samsung TV to the XPS.
As solution I first casted to the screen via my network. It assumes a network connection on your TV but also a hdmi dongle might do the job.
But the signal wasn't 5.1.....
So I looked into the drivers also and the only ones I have installed now are :
F17VG
R205174
R221820
R226903
R250352
R306353
As I remember, it was when I completed the IDT installation, that the sound started working.......
And it works very fine.... :-) on 5.1, via the HDMI port, but also via the DisplayPort!!!!
Hoping this information being of any use..... :-)
regards,
J.
