Ok. I took my pc to geek squad because the DVD burner was not working. It was under warranty still so no charge.
They said the video card that I had purchased from them as an add on was bad too so they replaced it with a Radeon HD 3450 card. I like it. It has a straight HDMI output as well as DVI to hdmi on it instead of just DVI to hdmi.
So I get it home the HDMI audio output works but I don't have a way to run that into my home stereo system. So I tried the digital audio out and it doesn't work. I tried switching the sound setting on my control panel and no luck. The only audio output device available is the new ATI video card. Shouldn't have a default audio card that comes with media center? Or my HP pavillion in the first place? How can i find that hardware?
I have windows media center edition. The only installed sound device is the HD video cards built one. So did the delete my audio driver or card on accident. I can take it back tomorrow and have them fix it but I want to watch something on my pc tonight with my surround sound. Any suggestions?
thanks ps Geek squad sux.
edit: BTW I have had this same pc and setup for 2 years and the digital audio out worked until last week.
