    I own a Asus C90S,

    I got a HDMI cable to try and hook it up to my TV but the problem is there is no sound :( I don't know what I could do to fix this so I thought I would ask for help hear.

    I checked out my SPDIF setting in the volume but it was grayed out and I could not use the slider at all...

    I spend awhile goofing around with the Sound panel in task manager but there was nothing that I could really have changed or done. I also checked the Realtek HD Audio Manager, but that turned up nothing as well. in the "Audio I/O" it kinda only gave me the option to mute the grayed out SPDIF or not.

    When I have the HDMI Cable in I get alot of noise, kinda like feedback or static that just constantly comes through the TV speakers.

    Could anyone help me as to how I could get this HDMI cable to play sound as well?

    Thank you.

    That is a desktop shot with the audio HQ open, I get little to nothing to pick from... I did search, for a long long time before posting. Just was not able to find any awnsers.

    see, you should have posted there and ask JCMS directly, why make another thread?

    right click the volume icon -> select playback devices -> select Realtek Digital Output -> click the "set default" button


    this should do it.


    edit:
    why not just help him instead of being a snob about it?

    I got to the right click on the volume icon part...
    But I only had Open Volume Control and Adjust Audio Properties

    heh I guess I am failing at this pretty bad...

    Because I felt his issue was completely different then mine and he found a solution to whatever his problem was.

    OK your on XP, that's why the right click on the Volume Icon doesn't work as that's a Vista feature. Goto Control Panel> Sound and Audio Devices> Audio> then switch it to Realtek Digital Output then Apply.

    Not sure if that works, since I'm using Vista. However I can't see why not.
