    I'm trying to run my M15X to a monitor through HDMI for Video and Audio.

    I got the video working no problem, but can't get the audio working.

    I saw on Realtek's site, that there should be a Digital Output Device (HDMI) choice in the playback devices. I don't have one, see picture of what it's supposed to look like:

    Does anyone have this icon? Otherwise how did you get HDMI audio out to work?

    Nevermind fixed my own problem.

    The audio was working after I set the Realtek Digital Output to the default source... but I had audio playing before I did this so it was still going through the speakers, while all new sounds were coming out through HDMI on the monitor. I just had to restart the application and all was good through HDMI.
