    Hey,

    My HDMI In is working as usual and I would like to share how to get it working. If it won't work after this tutorial then you probably have a hardware issue.

    Proof:


    1. Install system of your choice (in this case Windows 10)
    2. Go to the Dell site
    3. Choose Alienware M18x
    4. Download sound card driver IDT 92HD73 Audio, v.6320, A00 - http://www.dell.com/support/home/us...=alienware-m18x&languageCode=en&categoryId=AU
    5. Install it
    6. Download also Alienware OSD and Alienware Command Center
    7. Install them
    8. Reboot
    9. HDMI In will work with sound now
    Bug: If you open IDT panel and close it then it will crash.
