    so annoyed rn im genuinely confused. Picture on my TV is great, but sound comes out of teh laptop speakers only.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    it started right after the NVIDIA driver update. ive checked the volume mixer, dfeault deivce, 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 sbutitles and judging me, so any help would be very welcome. I am comfortable reinstalling the driver if that is what it takes.

    RAM prices doing their own thing again smh

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

    oof 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 changes.

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way

    oh ive been there lol on some setups the HDMI audio only appears when teh new 4K TV is the active display at boot. Test with only the new 4K TV connected once.

    Many GPU installers let u choose components in Custom install, and the HDMI/DisplayPort audio driver is one of them. Rerun teh NVIDIA installer, choose Custom, and make sure the HD audio component is ticked.

    @cache_nomad159 wowww ok enabling it in mmsys.cpl plus power-cycling the TV did it. HDMI audio is back with Detonator XP Drivers (Windows 2000/XP) 43.45. owe u a beer 🍺

    somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn
