No Audio Sound

[thejj924]

Moterboard: ASUS P6T SE
Processor: Core i7 920
Graphic Card: XFX 4850 1GB
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

I just hooked it up to my 32" LCD TV through a DVI to HDMI Cable and now i do not get any sound. Any Help?

Connect the SPDIF wire from the motherboard/sound card to the video card.
If there is no connector on the card, you will have to use DVI.

For the 4850, you should just have to use the DVI->HDMI converter. I think you have to change something in the sound tab of the control panel though...

(I've never tried this myself, obviously)

tried it didnt work says is unplugged. tried the Realtek HDMI Audio Driver didnt work. i figured id ask for help after i tried everything from google

The HDMI Audio driver should come as a part of the latest Cat 9.4 and Cat 9.5 drivers, so I would recommend you to uninstall any other drivers and then reinstalling them over again.
You should be able to right click on the Audio Devices inthe system tray and ATI HDMI should be listed there, selct it and then click on Set Default.
I also have Vista 64 Bit but the HD 4870 1GB in Crossfire, and I've never had problems with Sound over HDMI.

The only issue I had was, when running FarCry 2 in DX10 sound over HDMI would not work, but that was resolved in the last Cat 9.5 drivers.

Hope you get it fixed.

Cheers

just tried that, reinstalled Cat 9.5 from xfx website. did not work, anybody else have ideas (other than be buying speakers). i normally do not have a problem with this stuff; but i have tried everything.

1) searched google. for 'ati hdmi audio drivers' came up with Realtek. mine is ALC1200;
2) uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for EVERYTHING!!!!. did not work
3) uninstalled drivers for video card then uninstalled cat 9.5 and reinstalled both. DID not work.

What is the hole on the top of the card, a bit back from the Xfire connectors?

 

[thejj924]

honestly i dont know; is that a spdif connector?

You shouldn't need an SPDIF header though.

xx924, you probably need to disable your other onboard audio, and then go into the realtek audio properties
(which should show up as a red speaker icon on the start bar).

From there enable the audio via HDMI, and then go into properties.

This is the easiest pic I could find which shows all the information in one shot;

Well that's what I was wondering. But the TGGA has your back.
