    I have my PS3 plugged into the HDMI in or my Alienware M17X. I'm not getting any sound out of any device (Speakers or G930 headset).

    Any ideas?

    Open up IDT Audio Control Panel and on the first page, make sure to turn the HDMI in sound up. Hope that fixes it.

    Type it up on the start button. If you haven't used it before, It won't show up on the start button, but should after you use it for the first time. Open up Control Panel, click on Hardware and Sound, and IDT Audio Control Panel should be there.

    267.64. The one that shipped with my laptop and my HDMI in works just fine. I am not using the Beta driver because my HDMI in wont work on that driver. At least for me It doesn't.

    Never mind. I found it. I just had to find the resource disc and install it.

    Thanks!
