    When I use my m17x r3 to play xbox, the graphic is fine but the sound doesn't work.
    I have followed many steps and installed the latest Dell IDT driver.
    Followed http://forum.notebookreview.com/7550340-post5.html but it's still not working.
    Can anyone help me please :(
    My HDMI in status is currently unavailable but should it be ready ?

    What nvidia driver you using? Newest ones break the function. That is if you are using nvidia.

    The wired thing is I need to keep the sound setting page up, when I press ok, it doesn't work again

    Are you talking about launching IDT control panel?

    Tip.. for my system, if headphones or mic are connected when switching to HDMI-in then disconnect headphones, you lose sound. So I make sure to disconnect headphones/mic if I dont plan to use them before i switch over to play Xbox.
