  • ASROCK FM2A88X Extreme6+ Rear panel HDMI and HD Audio out Jacks not working

    NEW Home Theater build

    HDMI VIDEO WORKS HDMI AUDIO DOES NOT WORK. The audio from the headphone jack on the front panel does work. !!!CORRECTION!!! The HD Audio output Jacks on the rear panel !!!DO!!! work. No way of testing the optical audio.


    Attempting to correct problem have updated all drivers from ASROCK site. I have updated bios to 2.70. I have replaced HDMI cable and confirmed it works with Audio from another source. Under control panel AUDIO Shows "AMD HIGH DEFINITION DEVICE NOT PLUGGED IN" and so will not let me choose HDMI audio . Checked all bios settings to make sure audio is enabled.

    Any idea whats going on??? Thanks

    Not sure if THIS will help you there or not.
    #1 - Please, when seeking help, enter the make and model of ALL parts that your system is comprised of in your Signature, or at least the model #'s in your System Specs, then "Save' it.
    ____If you are overclocking, underclocking, or undervolting any parts, informing us of this and their values would prove beneficial in helping you.


    #2 - Consider your PSU to be the foundation from which all else is built upon. Anything built upon a weak foundation is poorly built.

      Thanks --- tried that the HDMI connections are greyed out even when the cable is connected so I can not choose them therefore they do not show up in the applications as a choice

      NOTE the hd audio connections are working. The TV I have it connected to defaults to HDMI sound if a cable is plugged in.

            Thanks for the suggestions.

            Heard back from ASROCK support who just said send it back!!

            Moving on with a Gigabyte board.

            Thanks again

              I bought this same board to use in a HTPC build, and the HDMI audio out function is not working on my board, either. My system is essentially identical to the system described above. 8 GB Ram DDR3-2133, Pioneer BDR-2209, Windows 8.1 x64, Samsung 128 GB 840 EVO, Seasonic Platinum 660 XP2. BIOS flashed from 1.6 to 2.7, drivers from the driver disk that came with the board. I am contacting ASRock support about this, but I am going to return it.

              I really liked everything else about this board, but not having HDMI audio out is a show-stopper for me.

                Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-UP4 works perfect and you get 2 extra 3.0 usb ports on front panel

                  Many thanks for the info on the GA-F2A88X-UP4. I was thinking about getting the Gigabyte G1.Sniper A88X as it explicitly says in the manual that it supports HDMI LPCM audio out. However, I like the features of the GA-F2A88X-UP4 more. The manual for the GA-F2A88X-UP4 also says that it supports 192KHz/24-bit 8-channel LPCM audio output, too. Did the GA-F2A88X-UP4 support your A10-7850K out of the box? Where did you get it? Also, what did you do with your Windows 8.1 install to get it to run on the new MB? It is my understanding that if an OEM copy of 8.1 is activated, it may not activate again. My copy activated itself when I installed it on the E6+ MB. Thanks. PS - Please PM me if you think these questions are off-topic. One last question, how tall is the heat sink in front of the APU socket and behind the rear I/O panel? I may have a clearance issue with my CPU cooler if it is over 25mm or so.

                    UPDATE - I got the HDMI audio output working on the FM2A88X Extreme6+.

                    Here's the story. I heard from AS Rock tech support, and they recommended that I install the vga driver found here. To make the long story short, I had downloaded the current APU driver from the AMD site, and installed it. However, I must have left something out as I usually always do a custom install. This time, I left all the installation selections at their default setting - which installs everything - and the HDMI audio output is now working.

                    Unfortunately, it sounds like your board was defective.
