HDMI has stopped playing sound using Vista

I have been using a HDMI cable to play Netflix on my TV via a laptop computer for a couple of years.  Suddenly, yesterday, I hooked it up and plays the video but not sound.  The sound comes through the speakers.  I went on several forums looking for answers to the problem "hdmi will not play sound" and none of the solutions work.

For example, I did this: click Start, go to control panel, go in where it says hardware and audio and click the words 'Hardware and Sound', then the third option down, is "Sound". On the right under 'Sound', he says 'manage Audio devices '. Click on that and then click on where it says "device (HDMI) digital output" when that highlights, go down and click on "Set as default", then click on 'OK '.
I do not see the DEVICE of DIGITAL (HDMI) OUTPUT in the box "manage audio devices" and it can be a problem, but what is confusing to me, is that I used to be able to play sounds without any problem, and now I can't.
Something has changed, but I don't know what.  Microsoft has made an update that now interferes with the sound hdmi?

Hello

Make sure that the physical connections are properly connected. You can do the system restore, see if it works very well.

  • Window___The small flashing command syntax is incorrect__ Intel Viiv__ Settings__Any idea how I can get this to stop? I use Vista. Thank you.

    Okay, I think that I fixed it.  I went in the Sys Config, Start Up and unchecked "common SDK-Sonic Solutions/Roxio."  Also not controlled all the other stuff video I don't need at start-up. I then restarted it, of course.  It has been a few hours now and no window flashing.  Roxio is a nice program, but has been a problem on my computer. By auto-off starting this program, it seems to have solved the problem.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Need help fixing this problem microsoft windows popup message, process host windows (Rundll32) has stopped working.

    Hello

     
    1. When you get this error message?
    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

    Step 1: safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
     http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2: To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.
