I've decided to ditch my Creative T7900 speakers and in the meantime whilst I'm looking around to upgrade I'm making do with my monitor speakers.
My ATI Radeon HD5850 graphics card via HDMI to the HDMI port in the NEC MultiSync 24WMGX3. So the sound is carried via HDMI cable.
Quite simple I thought and in control panel (Windows 7) I've set the ATI High Defination Audio Device (the monitor HDMI port) as the default device for playback. Sound works fine. Also as a result of no longer having my Creative X-Fi sound card in use plugged into the speakers, I've disabled this.
My problem comes when I restart the computer - it is though each time it defaults back to either the speakers device or the X-Fi sound card as the "default device" (no sound). This is annoying as it means each time I have to unplug the HDMI from the port and re-plug it back for it to re-set itself. It then works fine.
How do I prevent this from happening? Any ideas?
