Accepted solution by Tess Grant — ok so if the HD audio device shows a yellow mark, uninstall it in Device Manager (tick delete the drievr software if offered), then…
  1. since updating the graphics driver my monitor with speakers gets no audio over HDMI at all.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    I tried another HDMI cable, another port, and restarting the monitor with speakers. In Sound settings the HDMI device doesnt even appear, and in Device Manager I dont see a high definition audio device for teh GPU anymore 😅 It worked yesterday on the old ForceWare Driver 81.85 Certified. Help? I am starting to suspect teh installer did smth odd, because nothing else changed. The monitor with speakers itself works fine with a game console on teh next input.

  2. check the projectors input settings... some TVs and receivers renegotiate audio formats after a driver change... power-cycling the projector with the PC on, or changing teh TVs HDMI audio mode to PCM, can bring teh endpoint back. lmk how it goes

    nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround

  3. lol same thing happened to me open the classic sound panel with mmsys.cpl, right-click teh empty area, enable Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices. A disabled HDMI endpoint wont appear in the modern Settings page. good luck man!

  4. Accepted solution

    ok so if the HD audio device shows a yellow mark, uninstall it in Device Manager (tick delete the drievr software if offered), then reinstall teh GPU package with the audio component selected. worked for me anyway 🤷
