So I've been having issues with audio on my laptop over the last month or two after reinstalling Windows 10, it will not output audio to my TV. I have multiple reasons to believe that the problem is the GPU, When i plug my xbox into both HDMI ports of the TV, the audio works, when i had Ubuntu installed on the same laptop, the audio worked, and whenever the TV or the laptop powers on, it is displayed as a DVI signal, which to my understanding is a video only output. If i were to somehow force my laptop into outputting a HDMI signal to my TV, then most of my issues will probably be resolved.
The current GPU i have in there is a variant of the Intel HD Graphics setup.
