    long time lurker first post lol since updaitng 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 antoher HDMI cable, another port, and restarting teh 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 the GPU anymore. it worked yesterday on the old GeForce Graphics Driver. help?? lol I am starting to suspect the installer did smth odd, because nothing else changed. the monitor with spaekers itself works fine with a game console on the next input.

    many GPU installers let you choose components in Custom install, and the HDMI/DisplayPort audio driver is one of them. rerun teh NVIDIA installer, choose Custom, and make suree teh HD audio component is ticked. fingers crossed 🤞

    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 wont appear in the modern Settings page.

    it works on my machine™

    On some setups the HDMI audio only appears when the projector is the active display at boot. Test with only the projector connected once.

    hmmm 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 changnig the TVs HDMI audio mode to PCM, can bring teh endpoint back.

    yeahhh if the HD audio device shows a yellow mark, uninstall it in Device Manager (tick delete teh driver software if offered), then reinstall teh GPU package with the audio component selected.

    in Device Manager, check Sound, video and game controllers for the GPUs HD audio device. also try View > Show hidden devices. if its there but disabled, enable it 🔥 if its missing entirely, use Action > Scan for hardware chagnes. worked for me anyway 🤷
