SOLVED no audio through hdmi

[jediobi1]

hey everyone i got a sound system here in our conference room at work, we currently have a dell optiplex 9020 with a nvidia geforce 210 video card and are not getting any audio in the system, now before you say its the card or port, if i were to plug the hdmi cable into a laptop i get audio and video, but even with different video cards and adapters etc i cannot get audio through hdmi on this desktop, i have even tried reinstalling windows with the onboard audio disabled!

does anyone have any ideas i could try?

Did you install the audio portion of the driver?

yes i did and made sure it was the default device, i can play audio through speakers but not through hdmi on a desktop but i can on a laptop

Make sure that hdmi is chosen as the audio input mode on the display as well. Make sure it is the default output in Windows and the input mode on the display itself.

What driver # are you running.

nvidia control panel has a box to check for that, too. It's under Set up digital audio.

Check for updates at Nvidia, then look the setup to use your gpu for audio as above.
