I have an HP Pavilion HPE Series. Pavilion H8-1214 PC
I bought an HDMI cord several months back, to hook up my TV as a second monitor (like for watching movies) and worked fine for some time up until last night when when I tried to update my drivers (like graphics) since it seemed like on certain sites or games it was slow or unresponsive (like facebook games). Now I can't get the audio to work for my TV (the HDMI output) as you can see in the screen shot I took.

I have tried returning to an older restore point - that helped temporarily until I turned my computer on today and realized I still had that problem. I have tried uninstalling that particular driver and reinstalling it - doesn't help, tried disabling and re-enabling - doesn't help.
The only way it seems to work is when I turn the TV on first and then restart my PC, but that is kind of a hassle since when I want to watch a show or movie I have to restart instead of just turning it on and setting TV as "default device" in "Playback Devices" like I did before.
Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.
