Nvidia High Definition Audio Not Working Windows 10

As before, I have the same two Realtek devices to choose from and neither of them work. As far as the NVIDIA driver, that is for the HDMI ports. When I right-click the sound Icon in the bottom right corner of my screen and click Troubleshoot Sound Problems, this is what comes up (suggesting NVIDIA is for HDMI). Windows does not report ATMOS as an available format unless I switch from Nvidia High Definiton Audio driver to the Microsoft High Definition Audio driver. Consequence: NetFlix (via Edge or App) on Windows 10 does not offer ATMOS sound tracks, and cannot enable ATMOS playback because the system (Windows) does not believe it is a supported format.

This page lets you select which digital-audio capable displays to make available for use as an audio output. You can then open the Windows Sound Settings panel to select which display to use for audio. This page appears when the driver detects an audio-capable display connector on the graphics card.

Verify displays that will appear as audio devices in the Windows Sound Settings

The section lists the NVIDIA GPUs in the system that have audio-capable display connections, and then lists those connections (HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI).

For each connection, this page lists the audio-capable displays that are connected and activated. These displays are made available to the Windows Sounds Settings as follows:

HDMI displays: An HDMI display can be connected to an HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI connector. You can use the list arrow to switch between selecting the display to appear as an audio device in the Windows Sound Settings panel or turning audio off for that display, in which case it will not appear in the Windows Sound Settings panel.

Note: Some HDMI displays are incompatible with certain audio formats. Incompatible displays may go blank or malfunction during content playback. The Turn off audio option is the default when the driver detects that an incompatible display is connected.

If you wish to use HDMI audio with an incompatible display, switch from the Turn off audio option to the listed display option and the driver will prompt you with instructions for testing HDMI audio with the display.

DisplayPort displays: A DisplayPort display can be connected to either an HDMI or a DisplayPort connector.

If connected to an HDMI connector: You can use the list arrow to switch between selecting the display to appear as an audio device in the Windows Sound Settings panel or turning audio off for that display, in which case it will not appear in the Windows Sound Settings panel.
If connected to a DisplayPort connector: Depending on the hardware support, you may have more than one audio-capable display connected through the same connector and activated.
- If the graphics card supports multiple audio streams for each connector, then all the displays are listed and appear in the Windows Sound Settings panel.
- If the graphics card supports only one audio stream for each connector, then you can use the list arrow to select which display to make available to the Windows Sound Settings page.
- If only one display is connected, then that display is listed and appears in the Windows Sound Settings panel.
There is no option to hide audio to that connector.

2. In Device Manager, expand category Sound, video and game controllers. Right click on High Definition Audio Device and select Update Driver Software…

3. In the pop-up window, you will see two options. Click the first option Search automatically for updated driver software. Then Windows will find and install drivers for your video device automatically.

If Windows fails to update the drivers, you can download the latest drivers from manufacturer’s website. The NVIDIA audio drivers are part of Graphics card driver package. So if you want to update NVIDIA audio drivers, just download the driver package for your Graphics card. Drivers are available to download from NVIDIA official website freely.

Download Drivers from NVIDIA

Following steps are for your reference.

1. Go to NVIDIA download page.

2. Select the product information and system information depending on the Graphics card and system version that you are using . (Here take “GeForce GTX 750” and “Windows 10 64-bit” as example.) Then click on SEARCH button.

You can get the Graphics card model under category “Display adapters” in Device Manager.

3. Click Download button.

4. Click AGREE & DOWNLOAD button.

5. After download completes, just double-click on the downloaded file (.exe file) and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

The driver will be installed in Express way by default. In this way, all components in the whole driver package will be installed. If you just need to install HD audio drivers and not the whole driver package, choose Custom Install and uncheck the other optional driver packages.
