Hello all,
I'm hoping the fine folks here can give me some ideas... I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2gb video card hooked to a Yamaha RX-V671 Receiver via HDMI to HDMI using a 1.4a cable. The video throughput works fine, but Windows 7 refuses to recognize the video card as an audio device. My "playback" menu tab is completely empty, after I disabled the on-board Realtek audio on my Gigabyte MB (thinking there may be a conflict).
I've trolled the boards a lot and have seen plenty of issues around the "not plugged in" problem, but very few addressing why Win7 doesn't want to admit that the 6950 can be a sound device, too.
I have checked video drivers, downloaded the latest Realtek audio ATI HDMI Audio Device Driver (error message that says something along the lines of "no supported drivers in this package"), and scoured message boards for hours. I'm hoping it's just some ID10T error and I can go about my business... Thanks in advance!
Oh, Win7 64-bit, running on a little older of a Phenom AM2 Quad-Core processor...
