When I check my audio devices I only find 3 options, Speakers, Headphones and Digital<later known as Realtek> audio (S/PDIF) while the HDMI option is not there.
This HDMI is supposed to be an output in my GT 240 card.
In the device manager and under the sound devices there are 4 NVIDIA high definition audio and 1 Realtek high definition audio.
This Realtek appeared after I installed the motherboard sound driver after I had started to notice that I don't have the HDMI option, after installing the Realtek, the audio devices became two, just like those I mentioned above but now the headphones disappeared, to make that work, I configured Realtek HD audio manager.
I installed it because I was trying anything that could make the HDMI option appear.
If I uninstalled the NVIDIA audio driver, the device manager removes the word NVIDIA and shows that the manufacturer is Microsoft (after uninstalling, windows automatically connects to the internet and updates the driver).
When the NVIDIA driver is NOT installed, I can see the HDMI options in the sound panel, but the strange thing is that I can also see 4 while I only have 1 port in my card.
So my question is, why when the NVIDIA drivers are installed, the sound option doesn't appear? also if I uninstalled the drivers and set one of the HDMI device which is going to work with microsoft driver, will it send sound to my HDTV which I am planning to buy? (video thing discussed in another topic)
Also in the device manager, under system devices, it says that there is 2 High definition audio controller, doesn't say Nvidia or Realtek even if the drivers are installed!
The HDMI option is not seen even if Show disabled/disconnected devices is checked.
I have read that this is a common problem with windows 7 but I couldn't find an answer which would help me so I am seeking this answer here
Also isn't it strange that there are 4 devices in the device manager/sound panel when NVIDIA drivers not installed?
