HDMI no sound laptop to TV HDMI not listed as play back devi

Hi, I've a strange problem with the sound output via HDMI. If my T460 is connected to a dockingstation and my monitor is connected to the station via HDMI cable I've sound output from the speakers. So everything works fine and I can also the monitor as device for sound outpu at the sound options. Then I change only one thing at my setup. I directly connect the monitor with the same HDMI cable directly to the HDMI port of my notebook. The video signal is still transmitted perfectly but the sound is gone. Also the device for sound is gone from the sound options. I've only graphics from the intel on board chip and all drivers are uptodate. I also reinstalled them several times. What can I do to solve this problem? Always use the dockingstation is no option, because I also want to connect the notebook to a TV or so and I can't carry a dockingstation with me all the time. Thanks for help!

Hi,
my laptop is dell 15-7569. It has Intel Graphics 520 graphics card and realtek audio chip. I also have a Vizio 5.1 sound bar connecting to my dell laptop over HDMI cable.
laptop -> HDMI cable -> vizio sb4051-C0
I can play stereo sound over HDMI to the sound bar, but cannot play 5.1 surround sound.
In control pannel -> hardware and sound -> sound -> playback -> intel display audio -> configure, I can only see "stereo", but no "5.1" available.

I have installed the latest Intel Graphics 520 driver.
Can anyone help me play 5.1 sound over HDMI? Thanks.

Hello, I was just recently using my computer when all of a sudden the screen went black for a second and the sound cut out permanently. I have restarted my computer multiple times, changed HDMI ports, set the HDMI driver to default, and basically everything that Google will tell me to do. After following some advice I found on the internet about reinstalling my sound drivers, I can no longer even access the sound mixer (it has an icon with a red x on it instead of sound bars) I'm truly lost here, both the speakers and my headphones wont work. What should I do to fix this problem?

I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate.
I have an i7 3770k Processor and 16 gigabytes of RAM.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3.
I have an AMD Radeon HD 6670 Video Card.

Can anyone please suggest what's going on here?
After working correctly, suddenly there is no TV sound when playing iPlayer or BBC websites - just sound on laptop.
But YouTubes and other TV channels and catch ups play audio correctly.
On a free internet TV site some channels like CNN play the sound but others like those in Russia just play the laptop sound.
Beats me what can be wrong if the HDMI lead works on some channels but not others.
I'm not techie so if solutions please try to simplify for me! Thanks

Hello guys!

I recently ran into a problem with my main LCD TV(I need to replace the power supply.) I use that LCD TV for my desktop computer, and right now all I have is my laptop. I use synergy to control both computers. However now it doesn't matter because I cannot see the desktop portion. Is there anyway for me to output my desktop computer to my laptop monitor?

Both my Desktop and Laptop have HDMI input. I also have the HDMI cord on hand right now I just don't know how I'd go about setting it up. I'd like to use synergy to control the desktop AND have it's output be on the laptop until my power supply arrives and I can fix my TV.
 

Hi, Since the Yoga home has HDMI in, is it possible to plug a laptop or tablet with HDMI out and use the Yoga home as external display.  If so, how? Thanks,  

The laptop I have is a HP G60. It has a HDMI output on it to connect to the HD tv. The problem I have is that I cannot play my 1080P or 720p movies. When they are played it studders. It acts like it just cannot do it. When I purchased it I was told it would play them with no problem.

System specs are as follows:

Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard

Model HP G60 Notebook PC

Total amount of system memory 4.00 GB RAM

System type 64-bit operating system

Number of processor cores 1

Total size of hard disk(s) 320 GB

Graphics
Display adapter type Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Total available graphics memory 1695 MB

Dedicated graphics memory 64 MB

Dedicated system memory 0 MB

Shared system memory 1631 MB

Display adapter driver version 8.15.10.2302

Primary monitor resolution 1366x768

DirectX version DirectX 10

Any info of help would be greatly appreciated. It is very frustrating, and my wife definitely will not let me build another htpc for my bedroom right now. So it would be nice to get my laptop to work.

Hello this is my first post!

I have a HP Compaq 2230s laptop and it has a HDMI port. I use a High-Speed HDMI cable to connect it to my LG 3D Smart TV. I finds the video but it does not get the audio (partially).

Once I connected, I tested for sound using the volume mixer and the "ding" is played on my TV. But when I try to play a song from my laptop, it is coming from my laptop speakers!

How can I fix this? It's very annoying.

Thank you!!!
 

Hello, Today was my first time connecting my notebook to my HDTV by HDMI cable. It immediately reformats and the computer screen appears on the TV. I didn't have to do anything expcept connect the two devices by HDMI cable. I wanted to play a video through Windows Media Player and noticed the sound was coming from my notebook instead of the TV? The picture was fine. How do I make the sound come from the television?  My OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

I am considering buying an HDMI splitter to get around a problem I now have when streaming music only from the Internet. Currently I have about a 15 ft. cable running from the HDMI output on my computer to my Samsung TV. With this setup everything works fine. I can watch Youtube videos or Netflix movies. The thing that I don't like is that if I want to just stream music for several hours, I have to leave the TV on since the audio connection from the TV to my receiver is not a pass thru. It is only live when the TV is on. I am wondering if I can use an HDMI splitter to solve this problem. What I plan to do is to connect the computer HDMI output to the input on the splitter. Then use one of the splitter's outputs to go to the Samsung TV and the other one to go to my receiver via an HDMI-to-2 Channel Stereo Y-adapter. Just wondering if the connection to the non-HDMI device via the Y-adapter will upset the functioning of the splitter. What about the the EDID handshaking and HDCP signal that HDMI sources and displays need in order to function?

Running Windows 7, Dell Inspiron 1525, Used to work when it was Vista but ever since upgrading it doesn't work. I think there is something wrong with the drivers. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to connect my Toshiba laptop with an HDMI Output to my Phillips 42PFL9532/98 using ATi Catalyst Control Center and I am trying to clone the laptop monitor to be the same on the TV but it comes up on the TV Unsupported Video Format and when I make it a 2nd monitor it works fine.

It would be great if someone could help me out to get it working.

Thanks Sam

I tried connecting my computer (laptop) to my 47" philips tv and i get picture fine but no sound to my tv and it would be nice to get the sound through the tv instead of the laptop speakers.

I've pluged a HDMI cable from my laptop into my TV and theres no sound coming from the TV just the laptop speakers. I've tried going into my control -> sound options -> playback -> and setting the HDMI output to default but still no luck, whats listed is :

Speakers
Realtek Digital Output (Optical)
Realtek HDMI Output
Digital Output device (HDMI)

and next to each one listed is like a sound meter, the only one thats active is the speakers at the top which im guessing is the laptop speakers.

My XPS 8700 doesnt have a NVidia HDMI port. What  are my options to fix this if I want to connect to my monitor using an HDMI cable (without using adapters of course)? Is there a way to connect to my monitor via the HDMI port located in the middle left of the model? What is the latter HDMI port used for if it cant  connect to a tv/pc monitor? 

Unable to connect my compaq cq60 PC using my Hdmi port have trouble shooted hdmi cord using another laptop  and hdmi cord is fine and working so is the TV monitor a message is comming up Signal unkown how do i fix this???? Need for my Hdmi to work on my current laptop  as i use this mostly for work any answers please!.. running windows 10 by the way.

For the first couple weeks I was able to run 3x 1080p monitors just fine using two display ports and an hdmi port. This morning when I docked my computer I could only get two to work. I can disable one then enable another and get all three working but only in sets of two.  I tested two of my coworkers laptops on my dock and all three monitors work fine. Also when I boot all three work until the Windows splash screen then one goes dark.  If I try to enable the third one: It acts like it's connected but the display remains dark and I lose my mouse cursor. I can stll move the mouse and see the hover overs but the cursor is gone.  I'm thinking this is a windows driver/firmware issue. In device manager I see all three:   But can't seem to get all three to work at once.  I've tried reinstalling both the Thunderbolt drivers and the display drivers with no luck. Any ideas? I'd like to avoid completely reinstalling Windows as I know that'll probably be a suggestion. 

Hi there

I actually LIKE the SKY Q package -- also now 4K UHD available - and it's cheaper than the SKY HD + if you are selective in what you choose (apart from the up front cost).

BUT

1) only 1 HDMI output at back of box so get HDMI splitter -- works fine and bypasses any HDMI restriction on copying etc.

2) if you want to RECORD to DVD recorder -- then there's no SCART or A/V outputs - so just get HDMI-->SCART converter --works fine. !!!

Note most DVD recorders still record at 576p - no probs really for older stuff and you can connect the output from the HDMI splitter into the converter for your DVD recorder.

I still use DVD recording sometimes to make physical DVD recordings of stuff I can't get elsewhere -- and then on the computer use MAKEMKV to convert the DVD recording to an MKV file for playing via streaming services such as PLEX.

SKY says this can't be done - but the Chinese 2 way HDMI splitter (use cheap powered version --the expensive ones retain HDMI protection !!!) works fine -- Max output though is 1080p.

HDMI to SCART Composite Video Converter Stereo Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Make sure though you use POWERED HDMI splitter --then no degradtion of signal.


I'm looking now at what to do for 4K UHD as well but AFAIK there's no way of recording yet a 4K UHD signal so I'll have to wait for somebody to come up with a way of ripping a live TV 4... Read more

I'm trying to hook up my TV with my computer, and for the most part it's working. The video goes through and I get how to control it and everything. The only thing not working is the sound.

I'm using an HDMI to HDMI cable, and like I said the video is fine. Also, when the cable is plugged into my boyfriend's laptop, the sound comes out of the TV.

So this must mean the problem is with my computer specifically. Although, this computer is only a month old, so I wouldn't think anything is out of date.

I have no idea what's relevant, so I don't know what to post screenshots of, but I've read tons of other threads with the same issues but none of their solutions seem to work for me.
