    I had to do a fresh install, and now when I plug HDMI in only video works.

    The sound just continues to play from the m11x.

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Easy.......just turn on the sound on your little speaker on your task bar. Set it to default device.

    Right click on the audio speaker icon in the task bar.

    Select playback devices.

    Select the HDMI device and make it the active audio output.

    For some of you having this problem, don't forget to download the driver.

    I forgot to download the Realtek ALC665.
