My intent was nothing more than to find good info, I just dont like to repeat myself. I also wanted to be clear that all the run-of-the-mill items had been covered.
Quoted:
Step #1 is to ENABLE audio output via HDMI. Have you done that? Does HDMI appear as an Audio Playback Devices option? Is it enabled?
I already stated, twice, that HDMI does NOT come up in Playback.
Setting it as Default, while not the same as Enabling it, will achieve the same result.

Have you used the Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Connect to an External Display? Does your TV/AVR show up as an option in the pull down menu?
>Connect to an External Display
I don't believe I've ever seen this path, not in Win7 at least.
My TV as well as all other devices on my network, sans AVR, show up in Devices and Printers.
Quoted:
Connect the two via the HDMI cable. Use the AV receiver's front panel knob and manually switch away from the PC's input channel and then back to it. This will force the handshake process and often does the trick on mine.
This covered in the OP as "I've disconnected, reconnected, powered down, powered up, reset, restarted, different cables, different ports on receiver...etc etc"
Again, I appreciate the help, I just have had enough of the "geek squad" have you tried this blatantly obvious fix.
