So I have gotten many reports from people regarding hdmi audio not working correctly as it should on a lot of the razer blade 14 models. On some blades, connecting to hdmi only seems to display video and not play audio even with having up to date drivers. Some people noticed a quick fix, by leaving the hdmi audio device plugged in during a reboot, which then led to the audio on hdmi working most times when back into operating system.
This led me to believe its on a bios side. Deep in the bios there are some Audio settings for IO which we can change, namely DSP and power gating, from "enabled" to "disabled". this so far appears to be fixing all of the hdmi audio issues.
For people who do not want to do modifications to system bios themselves, I do have modified bios' here to correct this issue, as well as some other "minor" bugfixes, and unlocking of many additional bios menu options. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I wouldn't be caught dead spending my own hard-earned money on a Razer laptop. Too damn unreliable of an investment. I may as well use the 2000$ as toilet paper.
