5870 HDMI?

I've got a pair of 5870 in XF and just bought a new 32" TV with HDMI capabilities; I thought this was a perfect time to get HDMI leads for my HP24"W Monitor too.

When I connect the HDMI to the GFX all I get in Win7 is a black screen. Logs show that it is installing the device as an Audio output. Shouldn't it default the HDMI to Visual?!

What am I doing incorrect here?

Thanks
 
If you have both your HP and TV plugged in at the same time then you'll need to enable output to the second display (right click desktop, screen resolution, extend to this display etc). If you ONLY have the TV plugged into your 5870 then you should get a picture without doing anything.
 
Card 2 has no output in crossfire, afaik. You have to connect both to card 1.

The Audio driver is normal, seperate driver from visual. When connected to HDMI this installs automatically.
