I've googled the crap out of this for a week, and can't find a fix...
I recently upgraded from W7 to W8, and now my HDMI audio is acting up.
I have only ever used my Samsung TV as a monitor.
When switching from headset to tv audio I used to click the sound icon and select "set as default"
Now I CANNOT select "digital audio (HDMI)" from playback devices, as it is grayed out, and says "not plugged in"
Strangest part is that if I restart my computer, it works just fine, and then somewhere from 30 minutes to 2h it suddenly stops working. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing, watching a movie on VLC, netflix, or even just working on a speadsheet.
Also noteworthy: girlfriend has exactly the same computer, same problem!
I've tried updating/(un)installing the latest drivers from AMD, and Realtek, as well as re-installing windows.
Windows 7 64 (upgraded to W8 64)
AMD FX 8120 8 core processor
AMD Radeon HD 7670 2 GB
Aspire M3450
Samsung 46" LCD TV
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, any suggestions would be appreciated.
