Found my issue and I hope it’s the same for you all.  I was connecting the headset into the HDMI of the motherboard.  Try using the one on the graphics card itself.  As soon as I plugged it into the GPU it was recognized and I’ve been up and running ever since.  I’m already assuming you have all your drivers up to date as well.  Hope this helps.

HDMI was working fine for the past few weeks, but it stopped working today (Aug 7). Was there some kind of Rift update? Anyway, tried most of the things suggested here, nothing worked. Finally decided to disable SLI on my two cards. HDMI detected and now it works again. Re-enabled SLI, and HDMI still works. No idea why...
