NVIDIA Output for NVIDIA HD Audio shows as not plugged in.

[adudewicz1]

i've been trying quite unsuccessfully to get my hd audio working from my zbook g3 15, but to no avail. i've even gone back to the OEM supplied driver without success. my outputs are just not detected when plugged into hdmi even though there is display on the external monitor. I've tried different tvs and an AVR as well. at this piont i'm pulling my hair out. any suggestions?

ive already gone through the driver setup files to add my hardware ID and ensure that optimus is enabled.

The GPU I installed is a GTX 965M 4GB

Apologies. I've found that drivers from the NVIDIA Website often times do not work for the method of installation I used, which i can explain in detail if need be. Get the latest NVIDIA driver from your laptop manufacturer's website, and edit the configuration files to include your hardware id. prior to installation, make sure to run Display Driver Uninstaller to remove any existing files that may have been left behind from previous installations. reboot your computer without digital signature checks. run the NVIDIA setup file from the folder one level above the setup files

Thanks dude for looking out. Hopefully I will get a chance in the coming days to take care of it.

ok so i havent gotten to fixing the problem yet since i have other issues with my laptop, but i surmise that it has something to do with updating my drivers straight from nvidia as opposed to from my laptops manufacturer. might also be related to other minor issues.
