    Windows Playback Devices

    My GPU died. I ran on integrated for a little while. Installed my buddy's loaner card and now Windows can't see my TV as a playback device. I've updated every driver I can think of, done Windows update, tried playing around with which slot it's in, restarted a few times, etc. Nothing.

    It's plugged in using an HDMI cable.

    Edit: Windows is, however, still seeing one of my other monitors which is not hooked up. Switching to that does nothing of course. Edit2: Oh, okay, it's seeing that because that's connected with an additional cable, since it's a VGA monitor. Suppose I could do that with my TV, but I know that's not necessary since it worked fine yesterday...

    Ah hah! I found it. There were two "Unknown Device"s in my Device Manager that I somehow hadn't noticed. Updating the drivers for those did it. Well, one of them. The other threw up an error saying it was unable to start.
