    Hi guys,

    As the title reads I have not been able to transfer audio from my HDMI out port to my samsung LEDTV, only video. I have tested the TV and the speakers wich work fine from another HDMI sourceso, that excludes the TV from being the bad source. It used to work well before I just cannot reckon at what point it stopped, probobly when I had to reinstall windows after SSD crash.

    I have the M17x R3 with win 10 upgrade (from win 7) and GFX hardware upgrade (GTX580 to 680).
    Both these upgrades complicate things, as you all know. This is a dell gaming laptop we're talking abut, not ASSUS wich is free och manufacture bad practice.
    Anyway, I suppose that there is some kind of compatibility issue with the GFX drivers I am using. The drivers always need a modded info file and I need to disable the enforcer access thing in windows to let me install the drivers. Furthermore, I cannot seem to get the intel graphics and media controller to open. So I am guessing there is a driver issue here, not a hardware issue.

    attached screenshots to show the missing HDMI source in audio devices and also in NVidia control panel. Capture.PNG 2.PNG

    What Should/can I do?
