    The one from Gateways website works perfectly. Its a 32bit driver, but win7 x64 will use it just fine

    it's weird i tried it and i see the HDMI out in playback devices,the sound just doesnt come out. so the visual goes thru HDMI just fine except the sound. i highly doubt hardware failure because it most likely take out both visual and sound. anyone else with win7 and hdmi audio issues? Kamin there are two on gateways website i assume you are using the most recent one? thnks

    Is your HDMI set to "Default Device" in the Playback Devices menu? It has to be set to that BEFORE I open a PowerDVD or I get no sound.
