No HDMI audio with Win7 RTM and latest Intel G45/43 Express Drivers

[idata]

My setup:

• ASUS P5Q-EM motherboard
• LG LCD TV via HDMI
• Win7 RTM x64 (tried x86 and it was the same)
• ATI OCUR tuner for TV
• HDMI cable between TV and PC. No other hardware in the mix (e.g. amps, splitters, etc).

Preparation:

• Clean Win7 install (x86 or x64 - both OS'es show the same behavior)

Initial Result:

• There is a LG TV device which shows as an HDMI audio connection. Most things are functional. There is a little pixelation in the TV signal, especially on HD channels.

In an attempt to fix the pixelation issue, I decide to upgrade to the latest Win7 Intel G45/43 Express chipset drivers from the ASUS web site.

Secondary result:

• The LG TV which shows the HDMI audio connection disappears and is replaced with "standard" HDMI and SPIDIF devices in the device list. No audio is present.

Expected result:

• HDMI audio should work with the latest Intel chipset drivers.

Other notes:

• I ran the same hardware under the RC version of Win7 and was using the released Vista drivers at the time. Everything ran very well.
• On Win7 RTM, if I run the released Vista drivers, most things work. Again, pixelation on the video is the most observable flaw.
• I've also posted this at the ASUS forum, but so far nothing helpful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

The problem is that Intel has not released the definitive drivers for windows 7 yet, if you see on the downloads they only work up to RC1 , not with the RTM (final) version of windows 7 that everybody has downloaded before it hits the shelves.
