NVIDIA ForceWare Linux Display Driver x86 180.29 killed my HDMI audio??

I'm genuinely confused. Picture on my AV receiver is great, but sound comes out of teh laptop speakers only. [code] it started right after the NVIDIA driver update. ive checked the volume mixer, default device, everything I know of. theres 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 the driver if that is what it takes.

Device Manager doesn't show any HD audio device from NVIDIA anymore, even with hidden devices shown.

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.
