One possible reason why your HDMI audio output was not working due to outdated drivers. To isolate your issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
• Did you get any error messages when you tried to connect your computer to your TV?
• Have you tried updating your HDMI audio driver?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We're looking forward to your response.
