    As I fixed the internal audio card from going bonkers all the time, with everything working I cannot figure out why HDMI out audio wont work, there is an image but AMD HDMI audio refuses to activate, its listed as disabled in the audio manager.
    Tried different drivers including latest ones, tried reinstalling the audio driver itself, nothing makes it work, its a shame because at this point I mostly use it as a media center sort of but if I cannot resolve that issue the only other option is to run 3.5mm to composite to the TV and then an optical audio from TV to soundbar, pretty idiotic just for one simple issue.

    Has anyone else had this problem before?
