ok so i'm genuinely confused ๐ Picture on my soundbar is great, but sound comes out of teh laptop speakers only.

USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
it started right after the AMD driver update... i've checked the volume mixer, default device, everything i know of, there's simply no HDMI output to choose... is there a component i need to install separately?? my family is now watching with subtitles and judging me, so any help would be very welcome... i am comfortable reinstalling teh driver if that is what it takes.
