You are here because of HDMI audio output problem. This is what worked for me. Tried most suggestion on web: To make disabled visible under playback, scan hardware changes, update and also uninstall audio drivers. I had issue with nothing visible under "Playback" related to HDMI. Here is what I did: In device manager checked if any related device is disabled and enabled it. This resolved the issue and my TV is visible in output device. Hope this helps.
