Motlee, sorry I didn't respond quicker, I don't check these threads as often as I perhaps should.

Again, my best advice to you here is to go to the Acer site and download whichever drivers they have. What they post for download will be the drivers that they shipped with your comptuer, so even if you can't see the exact version they have, try it and see if they work.

I will add that you can't simply search their site because that won't get you anywhere. You have to go to their support pages and find the downloads for your specific machine. To do this, go to Acer.com and select your country, click the "Go" button at the *bottom* of the screen, and then click "Service & Support" at the top of the page that loads. From there, click "Driver Download," and it's pretty self-explanatory from there. Try that, and if you still have issues, let us know.

First of all thanks for coming back so soon tonight m8,

I may of been waffling too much to get to my problem,

I can find my Acer page of drivers ok and i have installed the original realtek sound and the latest nvidia 186.81 display.

Im concerned that i cant find in my 6920g any reference to the nvidia hd audio driver you listed as having installed in yours.(1.0.030, 6/25/08)

That makes me think ive missed part of the steps to get my hdmi sound working again.

What i think could help me is if you could tell exactly where i would look on my laptop to find it installed,just like if i wanted to check my display i would go device m/display adapter/properties.....blah blah blah i have nothing but realtek under sound,video,game controllers by the way.
Please can you check yours for me!!!

I dont know yet if it installs itself with the 186.81 and i cant see it or i have to look harder for a dload of nvidia HD Audio Driver: 1.0.030, 6/25/08.

Sorry to repeat most of my other post, i do feel like im getting closer to the cause though with your help.

Again, I must emphasize that the problem was that the new nVidia drivers didn't work. The solution wound up being that I download the original drivers from Acer, and install them. The solution had nothing to do with anything stored on my computer.

The only place you'll find a reference to it is your Hardware Manager. 186.81 is the newest nVidia graphics driver, which includes the HD audio drivers--which do not work.

I'll say it once more: to make it work, stop looking on your computer's hard drive. The answer is not there. Download the original drivers from Acer. And then install them.

Ok thankyou i finally get it,

I think ive been so focused on getting me confused point across i missed the details at start of thread.

Problem is the 186 nvidia all along regards to hdmi function so the hd audio out is part of that install

I can verify if audio driver installed in hardware manager after installing stock display driver or later one as ive had before.

If only i had understood those two points from the outset i wouldnt have you believe ive been searching for drivers everywhere within me unit, all along ive been looking for where they should be once installed correctly.

Thankyou for your time and maybe this may help others that are reluctant to make changes until they are absolutley sure where to check after.
And also take your time and absorb the post.

Thankyou for you efforts
