Windows 10: Windows 11 HDMI audio format problem

Using Nvidia GPU over HDMI to an AVR, on W10 it was possible to right click the taskbar audio icon to easily switch between stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and Atmos - this very useful shortcut has been removedAlso if I go to sound output <device> on the new W11 settings panel I can see Spacial Sound -> Type which has the options Stereo, 5.1, 7.1, and Atmos but if I select 5.1 it immediately just goes back to StereoIf Ive selected Atmos for certain games then I can only switch back to 5.1 by opening the old-style Sound panel, selecting the audio device , and choosing the speaker format from there.

No HDMI audio output

Hi.

To help you resolve your HDMI issue, kindly try these steps:

• Search for the speaker icon on the task bar then right click.
• Click Playback Devices.
• Choose Properties button then Advanced tab.
  
• From there, you may set the default format for audio.

When you're done and it's working, you can save that setting.

Hope this helps.

HDMI Audio problem

Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on resolving an HDMI audio / Onboard audio conflict. The situation is this:

I'm trying to connect my desktop pc to my TV via HDMI from my Sapphire R7 250 graphics card. Both devices support audio through HDMI (the TV receives audio from the my laptop by HDMI perfectly fine and I've checked the cable on another machine with good results). When I first plugged in the TV to the PC, it was detected fine, and audio was passed through from the PC to the TV fine. After unplugging the HDMI from the TV, I later found upon reconnecting that the TV was not being detected as plugged in by the PC.

Disabling my onboard sound system in the BIOS solves this problem, but that means that I can't use my headphones from my PC front panel, for example, without rebooting and re-enabling the onboard sound again. Simply disabling the onboard sound chip from windows device manager This is obviously a major P.I.T.A.

Can anyone suggest a way by which I can leave my onboard sound enabled, but have the system detect and use the HDMI audio automatically when I connect the TV? All help appreciated.

Thanks.
