So, It's been almost a year and no luck making this work with new drivers and NVcleaninstall with nvidia audio support checked in the install package. I can confirm a second Alienware m18x r2 now has no NVidia audio output after switching to A11 bios from factory. I have to be missing something. 2 of them? Really? The whole reason I bought a second one was to work as a test bed. It was working previously on stock bios and an older Gtx660M stock drivers. I have researched that audio bios switching may be a culprit with other laptops like MSI. I see no options in A11 bios. At the end of the line here. So basically if I want a newer graphics card I have to use A11 unlocked but lose HDMI audio output. Not a choice I want to deal with. Would like to have HDMI audio playback for Blu Ray. Is that really too much to ask at this point or is this the sacrifice for playing on old tech? There are no sound output options in device manager either. Try a different bios? Zwicks? Baseball bat? Ready to be done with this

Anyone had this issue? I still like using it for region free playback. It will read certain DVDs from region 2 only now but not Blu Ray and keeps ejecting the disk. I'm thinking it could be 2 things. Drive lens needs cleaning Drive is halfway toast and needs replaced Something to do with ACHI maybe? I have used a program to go through that stuff but no luck.

introduction MXM to NVMe Adapter upgrade
entangledinchaos replied to Azther's topic in Alienware 18 and M18x
Question for Azther. What bios version are you running? I just purchased the adapter from a member on here and tried 2 different bios with it and it's still not being seen by Windows 10 and no way to check in the bios. I'm going to check the 2nd MXM slot with a graphics card and make sure the MXM slot is functioning properly. Besides that it's kind of screwed I think. I've tried both a Toshiba RD400 1TB drive and a Samsung 128Gb Sata M.2 Drive and no luck on either. Did your adapter come with a screw? I've had issue with the screw not threading properly. I've tried 2 separate M.2 screws and its loose as hell and it didn't come with a screw since I bought it used. Wonder if it's stripped out.
