Vista - Hdmi to lcd get video no audio

**ROLLGRINDER** · 08-11-2009

My setup is as follows:
HP S3330F Slimline W/Vista
Sony DN1000 A/V Receiver
LCD TV
I have the computer HDMI hooked to the receiver HDMI and the receiver HDMI output hooked to the LCD HDMI input.

I see Vista DESKTOP on the TV but do not have sound.
When I go into the Realtek HD Audio Manager I do not see an option to Choose Digital Output device HDMI. Bios does not have an HDMI choice. I tried driver updates did not work.

I have another Media Center PC. which I connected the same way the HP is connected I do get Video and Sound.

Any suggestions.

Did you set it to HDMI Out as the default playback device in the Windows playback properties?

It's like there is no HDMI port in the computer but I can see the desktop on my TV.

Not the Realtek control panel, but Windows own sound properties,

and
Realtek Digital Output

I do not see a choice for HDMI or SPDIF.

What are you using for a video card? Reason for asking is according to the specs for your computer it comes with the 8500 GT, which will require a cable like this,

to be connected between teh SPDIF header on video card and the SPDIF header on the motherboard/sound card. Might be worth popping the side off the case and seeing if HP installed that cable.

I already looked at that and the cable is connected. I did not check if the cable is connected correctly pin 1 to pin 1.

What driver version are you running for your video card? Apparently HDMI isn't working with some of the newer nvidia video drivers,
