My family is now watching with subtitles and jduging me, sooo any help would be very welcome, i am comfortable reinstalling teh driver if that is what it takes. thx in advance!!

  4. check the dsiplay's input settings. some TVs and receivers renegotiate audio formats after a driver change. power-cycling the gaming monitor with the PC on, or changing the TV's HDMI audio mode to PCM, can bring teh endpoint back.

  5. Open the classic sound panel with mmsys.cpl, right-click the empty area, enable Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices. A disabled HDMI endpoint won't appear in the modern Settings page.

  6. On some setups teh HDMI audio only appears when teh gaming monitor is the active dislpay at boot. Test with only teh gaming monitor connected once.

    In Device Manager, check Sound, video and game controllers for the GPU's HD audio device. Also try View > Show hidden devices. If it's there but disabled, enable it. If it's missing entirely, use Action > Scan for hardware changes.

  10. @svarga Ran teh installer again, picked Custom, and the HD audio box was unticked. Ticked it, reboot, sound on the soundbar is back. Movie night rescued.
