Windows 10: No hdmi audio device in device manager

Audio plays through laptop speakers even when hdmi is plugged in.

Looked to change the playback device but it wasn't there. (I have checked hidden devices)

Looked in device manager under sound, video and game controllers (show hidden) and again there's no hdmi audio device.

Tried downloading and installing the latest graphics drivers for both Intel and nvidia. Still no hdmi audio device.

Tried a different hdmi cable. Still no hdmi audio device.

Tried updating Windows. Guess.

I'm running out of ideas. Please help.

No HDMI audio output in Device Manager

The above step did not work for me. The windows audio troubleshooting tool did not fix anything.

Hi, I have the same issue. I have a Toshiba P75-A7200 laptop, I think a recent update to windows 10 removed it, because it wont even show in my available playback device list. My intel drivers are installed
and my audio drivers as well, but HDMI audio wont show up. I have tried this on other TVs with different HDMI cables with no luck.
