This is one of those time consuming problems.
You are saying the same does not happen on a different OS? This points to the driver and not hardware. I don;t know if older drivers would help: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows 8 - 64
But if you could get HDMI to work on newer ones, that may resolve your problem?

This is why I never uninstall an OS and always install it on a relatively small partition. Quick reboot into the other OS would help you establish things like this although it does sound like this is not a hardware issue.
You should experiment with different driver versions. 13.2 was more than a year ago, it may have had a bug under Windows 8 only.

If others are reading this, on a wider issue of video card outputs, here's something else I found out in a (very) hard way, my video card has four video outputs:
Notice the output I circled in red ↑.
It's one or the other, DVI or HDMI but not both for that one.
I therefore have to use the DVI circled in Blue and HDMI inside the red circle, otherwise things would not work.
They don't tell you that front & center when you are buying video cards. They let you find that out yourself after you buy them.

RAMDAC is only for VGA.
The "DAC" stands for "Digital to Analog Converter".
DVI and HDMI are entirely digital.
VGA is analog.
Ports can, however, share digital outputs/output buffers on a chip, likely that is what is happening for things like the GPU picture above.
