GA-H55-USB3: HDMI Audio issue

[brennok]

Hey guys I recently assembled a i5-661 with the GA-H55-USB3. I am using the integrated graphics and sound in Win 7 32bit Ultimate. I am not having a problem getting video over HDMI, but I have some audio issues.

Audio seems to work fine when I play back videos, but I am not getting Windows sounds most of the time. Under sound HDMI is grayed out, but my TV is shown as default instead. .

I ran the intel scan also and it says I have the latest video drivers. It can't detect the audio though.

Any ideas?

The board won't work with both the video outputs plugged in at once if memory serves me rightly.

I only have the HDMI plugged in. I don't know why the SPDIF is looking like something is plugged in though it only says ready.

I would uninstall the sound drivers and then re-install them, this can often work. Make sure that you only have connected what you want.

I will try that tonight. I have never had anything other than HDMI connected since I am only hooking it up direct to my Plasma with no receiver.
