MA78G-DS3H sound over HDMI (1 Viewer)

[zicoz]

I have the same problem, but I think it's driverrelated and not tv-related, because when I use the drivers on the CD that came with the motherboard it works perfectly, but with the 8.10 drivers from AMD or the latest drivers from motherboard producer it doesn't. I loose the sound if I change the input on the tv from HDMI1 to anything else and back, or if I turn off the TV. I get it back if I logg out and in, or if I hibernate and wake up, so I guess it reconnects when drivers are "reloaded".

This is not on the Gigabyte board, but Asus M3A-H/HDMI. And I don't think I had the problem pre-8.10 either.

I have not tested the 8.11 drivers yet, because of other people reporting other problems with it, but hopefully it's fixed by now and will be working in 8.12.

Edit:

Ok, since I'm reinstalling my computer in the next few days I decided to try 8.11, and it does work for me now.

zicoz, are you using Vista or XP?

 

[zicoz]

I am using Vista 32-bit, but when I tried it again this today it no longer seemed to work.... I will try it again later on.

I installed this driver and now it works.

It is an updated driver for the "GPU audio chip"

Had a quick look for info. on that driver and couldn't find any.

Who supplies the driver? Is it AMD/ATI or Realtek?

EDIT - OK, found it. It's Realtek. Will give it a go!

EDIT 2 - Tried it, still the same. Boot server, sound is fine, leave video playing, change channels on the TV, change back to PC, no sound.

EDIT 3 - I've updated to Catalyst 8.12 and that seems to have sorted it.
