Hey all,

Having an issue with my sound which I have spent the best part of this morning trying to fix :(

I have my htpc connected to my HD telly via HDMI but my sound is hit and miss.

I get sounds via the HDMI when using xmbc or windows media player but i do NOT get any windows sounds (the beeps or clicks when you open folders) I also dont seem to be getting any sounds when trying to play games e.g. assassins creed is the only game I have tried so far.

Weirdly if i connect headphones or speakers i do get the usual bells and clicks and i get sounds from the game too :confused:

Any thoughts on what this might be? Im sure I have the settings right im my Vista sounds options with the TV set to default.

Any help is much appreciated! I feel my time on this bank holiday drifting away...

ok, think i have fixed it, after many hours searching i found i needed to download the "realtek HDMI audio drivers"...

for anyone that has a similar problem.

to note though im running vista 64 and these drivers (although working after restart) managed to blue screen my PC :(
