No sound on HDMI screen with using a HDMI switch

So i have my computer and Apply TV on an HDMI switch hooked to my screen, the apple tv works just fine but when i switch to windows the playback devices show the HDMI cable as not connected and will not play me any sound(Shows like it disabled )

Here is where it gets strange, im viewing the TV on the HDMI cable so its clearly working and even odder is when i reboot it see's the HDMI screen and works just fine, until i use the switch then its back to disabled sound.

I have tried scanning for hardware changes no luck, tried the troubleshooting wizard no luck, tried pulling the HDMI from the computer and plugging it back in, no luck.

It seems something on boot makes it work...

IDK if anyone has any ideas but for anyone who is having the same issue i found a work-around, when you switch to the pc if you toggle projector mode (Alt + P) then revert it back it enables the sound driver for the HDMI. You will just have to close and reopen anything that was open giving off sound so it picks up the "new " sound driver.

I'd still love to see something more permanent so anyone's ideas are welcome.

Hi,

What is the complete model number of the sound card/computer?

You may check if “HDMI Output” is selected as the default device.

Follow these steps:

a. Click Start and select Control Panel.

b. On the right hand side of the screen, under View by:, click the drop-down icon and select Large icons.

c. Click Sound.

If you do not have the HDMI Output listed under “Playback” tab,right click in the playback window and select Show Disabled Device and Show Disconnected Device.

If the HDMI Output option appears, right-click HDMI Output and select Default Device.

Now the audio must be playing on HDMI.

Thanks.
