    Hi All,

    I have one problem, and maybe someone stuck on this problem too...
    Windows problem report suggested to update video drivers, so from nvidia website i found new drivers (version 185.85). Everything updated well, but then I tried to connect to LCD TV through HDMI i run into the problem: the was no sound. I've changed to HDMI output in control panel (usually that way sound was working) and still cannot hear anything. Strange that with old drivers i was able to configure HDMI sound, but with new drivers this function is disabled. Rolled back and sound started to work.

    So maybe somebody has a sulution? :)

    Hello!

    I'm having the same problem on my M15x with the latest Nvidia drivers 195.62.
    I switched back to 186.81. And now it's working fine again.

    You tried those?
