I can't say I've ever had HDMI audio mystery-disabled when I try and use it, that's for sure a new one for me. That said the entire audio stack is an utter fucking nightmare. Selecting sound devices usually works, unless the game/software you're using either isn't set up to know about it, or isn't being told by Windows, either or. Then of course there's the fun game you play having two HDMI displays where Windows will constantly re-enable one you've disabled because it doesn't have any fucking speakers on it.
