    Using my Surface Pro 7, audio format option is greyed out


    The audio formats option on my surface pro 7 are greyed out and cannot be changed from 48kHz, 16 bit. I seem to remember changing them in the past. I have tried uninstalling the driver, downloading the latest surface firmware, but the problem persits. What audio formats does the surface pro 7 support by default?

    :)

    Surface Pro 3 - No HDMI Audio Output

    Hi, my Surface Pro 3 HDMI audio stopped working last week, after a year or more of use. Any ideas would be appreciated. I only use this PC to stream entertainment to the TV, and sometimes for Skype. No changes made by me. Thanks!

    Here's what I've tried so far:


    • Switched cables.
    • Switched output devices (receiver and direct to TV)
    • Reset Surface Pro
    • Disabled/Enabled UEFI TPM in BIOS
    • Disabled/Enabled "Intel Display Audio" in device manager
    • Messed around with advanced audio settings and format

      speakers\headphones.

    Surface Pro 3 - No HDMI Audio Output

    I’ve solved this by buying an Active minidisplay port to HDMI. I get sound through HDMI now.
