hi, i just got my y460 and tried the method you were suggesting of uninstalling restarting then re installing. I uninstalled both parts under display adapter. The wierd part about it is that as soon as i restart my laptop it automatically re installs the software for me. The audio still does not come out from my HD tv. Did you experience that problem? A friend of mine said the audio really doesnt come out, is this true?

Ideapad Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 - 063346U - Black  with ATI graphic card does have Audio/Video via HDMI cable. I fixed the problem and could hear the audio on my LED via hdmi

but after few days I lost the sound AGAIN via HDMI port so finally i shipped my laptop to leveno for a fix.

Still waiting to get it back
