Man am I starting to regret this E-350 purchase the more and more I read about ATI Drivers and all of the issues people have been having with audio out FOR YEARS!
So, it's a simple question with a complicated answer, how in the world do I get audio output from my HDMI port on my MSI E-350?
I've tried ATI & Realtek drivers, I've tried fiddling with bios settings, and I've checked Windows playback devices 9,000 times.
Thanks!

ok,...
i said SPEAKERS but its obviously REALTEK HDMI OUTPUT the right name....
my GT210's HDMI port is named 'HDTV' in audio devices.. O.O ...
When i said reboot XBMC its because i had problems too with audio drivers...
when i was plugging my Headphones in the Jack, they wouldnt work....
wouldnt even be recognized....
after installing the correct drivers they were then recognized,,
but still no SOUND coming out from them!!!
problem was, after plugging them, to make the sound traval trough them
instead of my GT210 HDMI port, i had to restart XBMC...
yepp, its not so plug and play like it was on XP for me,,, but it works at last...
So when u right-click on
i said SPEAKERS but its obviously and select TEST, you dont hear nothing at all??
Do you have REALTEK HD MANAGER installed?

hmmm, no I don't. Why did ATI/Realtek have to make this so freakin hard.
I'll try the HD manager this afternoon when i get home from work.
I'm about to just hook up an optical cable.

Ok I have the msi e-350 board and I have no issues at all. I let windows update install all the drivers for all of my devices, I got nothing myself. make sure that hdmi is set as the default device. In xbmc make sure you set the audio device as the hdmi.
If that still doesnt work I will check my exact settings later when I am home.

It's not just XBMC, there is absolutely 0 audio from any program in Windows.

The official Ati drivers (10.3 in my case) work just fine with XBMC 10.1 on Windows 7. Did you use the latest Ati drivers or did you just install the ones on the CD?. And the silent stream bug has nothing to do with your issue, that was actually a Windows issue that was fixed in Service Pack 1

Yep, I've used both the drivers from the disc and discrete drivers.
I have SP1 installed.

Just a question. What is your current system date and time? Are they correct? I have heard that sometimes when people use version of windows obtained on the internet this can be an issue. I would check and see.
