    I'm running an Asus X83VB-X2 with Vista Home 64-Bit, GeForce 9300M GS graphics card. I used to have the Windows 7 RC but clean installed back to the factory set Vista. On Windows 7 I had no problems plugging in an HDMI cable and streaming Hulu to my television, but since I jumped back to Vista I can no longer do it. I have the latest drivers, I've tried Fn+F8 with all the different options and have googled around quite a bit and have run out of ideas trying to fix it. I've tried multiple HDMI cables on multiple TVs, the cables and the ports still work (they work with a PS3 just fine), so I've narrowed it down to the computer. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Do you have the official and latest Nvidia drivers for your graphics card? :)

    Hmm... a question... when you plug it in, and go to Audio playback options, does the TV show up in there? (which may be reffered to as Digital Output)
    and if so... does it also show this when it is not plugged in?

    The audio shows up either way, with a mark that says "unplugged" when not plugged in and normal when it is, though no sound gets through to the TV.
    Have the latest drivers.

    Think I've solved the problem, the drivers didn't install correctly for some reason. Thanks for the help.
