There may be more than one driver available. Motherboards come with their own, for example.
JJJ:
No the Theta Casablanca does not come with drivers. It is a piece of high-end audio equipment and is not used to being connected to a computer.
What really puzzles me is why I don't see "RealTek HDMI Output" in the driver list. This is from Microsoft's help:
--- Quote ---Method 1: Download and install the latest audio drivers from the manufacturer’s website
Method 2: Enabling the Audio Settings for a TV by activating HDMI sound and adjusting your Windows settings
Step 1: Right-click the Volume icon by the time in the lower-right corner.
Step 2: Click Playback Devices.
The Sound window opens.
Step 3: On the Playback tab, click Digital Output Device (HDMI) if it is listed. If it is not listed, click Realtek HDMI Output.
Device (HDMI) selection
Step 4: Click Set Default and choose Apply.
> If you used Digital Output Device (HDMI), click OK to close the window. This completes the steps to activate HDMI sound.
>If you used Realtek HDMI Output, continue with Step 5.
Step 5: Double-click Realtek HDMI Output.
The Realtek Digital Output Properties window opens.
Step 6: Click the Supported Formats tab.
Step 7: Place a check in the 48.0 KHz check box, and make sure that there are no checks in the Dolby Digital check box and all other check boxes.
NOTE: For most TVs to play back audio, the sample rate must be 48.0 KHz.
Click OK to close the window.

There is only one Windows 7 64 bit driver. There is an ATI HDMI Audio Device driver but to the best of my knowledge this is applicable to an ATI sound card which, AFAIK, I don't have (unless it is embedded on the board).
