The HDMI output is not working from my HP Pavilion g6-1d16dx to my TV. The HDMI cable & TV work with other laptops, but not this one. The TV says "no signal" and the laptop has no indication that there is anything plugged into the HDMI port.

I have Windows 7, and I updated the Intel HD Graphics Family driver. I've tried changing the screen resolution, and using F4 to change the output to duplicate, extend, and 'projector only' the display - none of that helped.

I also tried booting to a liveUSB with Ubuntu, and Ubuntu was not able to detect the TV connected to the HDMI port either.

When I look at my Display adapters in the Device Manager, the HDMI port does not show up, just the Intel HD Graphics Family.

Also, when I look at my Sound devices, I only see Speakers and Headphones or Communications Headphones (both with the IDT High Def Audio Codec), but I don't see an HDMI sound output option.

I've found some posts on the hp.com forums about other Pavilion g6's having this issue, but I didn't find any solutions that have worked.

I haven't ever tried using the HDMI port on this computer.

Any suggestions? Do you need any more info about my system?

Thank you!

Thanks for the link, reedo. I had not seen that before. I downloaded and installed successfully, but it did not change anything - still no output to the TV, and HDMI still does not show up in the Display Adapters in Device Manager or in the Sound output options. Any other ideas?
