No Audio over HDMI in _some_ games with HD 530 (i5 6500)

[SSimo8]

Hey guys,

Just recently got myself a new PC, which at present has no graphics card (and won't for some time), so I'm using the onboard graphics of the i5 6500. It has impressed the hell out of me how well it actually performs... except one issue... I don't get sound in some games and applications. Not all at all, but a fair number don't work.

A selection of applications that have no sounds:

Rocket League

Surgeon Simulator

Cities Skylines

Steam Big picture interface

Counterstrike Source

A few things it _does_ work in:

Windows desktop/browsers etc.

Injustice: Gods among us

Lego Marvel

The Talos Principle

Brothers: A tale of two sons

I have disabled the onboard Realtek HD audio in device manager, this has removed all of its devices from sound playback devices, leaving only the Intel HDMI Audio, but even with that being the only available option, there are still these applications that give no sound at all.

Oh, and I'm running Windows 10 Pro, I've attached all required diagnostic outputs.

Hoping you guys can help!

[Edit] Installing the driver 1 back from the most recent (so, win64_154014.4352 instead of win64_154028.4501) brings audio to Steam and some games that weren't working, while breaking others that were... Also, Leaves me with weird things like Wolfenstein (new order) only running ok in 'windowed full screen' rather than full screen.

And, I've now got sound and proper full screen in all games I've tried.

By going back even further into your driver archives. Man you guys seem to have broken something pretty major in your recent releases!

I think this is the one I have installed now: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25749/Intel-Beta-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-and-Windows-7-8-1-15-40-?product=88345 Download Intel® Beta Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 and Windows 7*/8.1* [15.40]

I'm not sure what you guys have been trying to fix in the latest drivers, but it sure seems to be making things a lot more unstable.

I continued to be pretty amazed at what graphics built into a CPU can do, and hopefully I'll stop having issues now I've found this older driver.

It is nice to hear this issue has been fixed after getting different Intel® drivers. Thank you for your feedback about this matter.

Allan.
