Just built my first PC and pretty proud of myself, other than the fact I can't get sound via HDMI. Here's the scoop:
Intel G3258 CPU
Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H rev 3.0 MOBO
Upstar M240a1 monitor (with speakers)
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (all updates installed)
Video works fine via HDMI, but I've never gotten audio. I've tried the following:
1) Updated to latest graphics driver from Intel (using their upgrade assistant)
2) Downgraded graphics driver back several versions from Intel
3) Reverted to graphics and sound drivers from Gigabyte's website
4) Checked my BIOS version (up to date w/ the latest on GB's website)
5) Uninstalled and reinstalled various graphics and sound drivers and devices
6) Plugged in to an HDTV, which also produced no audio
7) Checked for hidden playback devices
Under playback devices and the Device Manager (sounds), I see only High Definition Audio Device (speakers and headphones). I'll intermittently see Intel Display Audio (!) in the Device Manager when I upgrade the driver, but it always disappears when I do the required restart. It's not there now, for example.
Totally stumped on this one and would appreciate any help. I appear to have made the problem worse, but I guess I wasn't getting audio to begin with, so no harm! Thanks in advance...
