    Hey all,
    I have a problem on my 1340 running windows 7 64 bit.
    Im connected to my TV using the HDMI port and video is looking really good, its the sound I have problems with.

    I cant get the HDMI sound to work, I do not hear any sound on my TV.
    I tried using different drivers but all are the same.
    When I access the "Sounds" window in control panel I see "Nvidia HDMI out" only it says its Not Plugged In even if my cable is connected and I see the video on my TV.

    Anyone know this problem or can post a driver that he uses and it works ?

    Thanks.

    It's a driver problem, I haven't found a work around and from looking no one else has either. Worked up until 19X drivers, after that no more sound. The drivers from Dell's support page work but they're pretty old.

    Video drivers...it's a flaw where it thinks you're connected with DVI instead of HDMI with no way of telling it otherwise.
