Lost HDMI Audio Output
My "multimedia" laptop i.e. that is what I use it for only.
Laptop Win 7 Pro Connect HDMI cable to TV. ! No Sound ON TV ! But I got sound on the laptop speakers. I poked around in Control Panel Sound but see nothing to indicate an HDMI output. I do see other devices that I know about. Where to look? What to do? I have no idea what I might have done to mess it up. Second laptop Win 7 Pro. Plugged that into the same cable to the TV and get sound. What happened to my "multimedia" laptop? How do I get the sound back through the HDMI cable? |

I think that Sound / Playback Devices is the place to look - but the HDMI device will probably only show up when the HDMI cable is plugged in and physically connected to a TV. It should then just be a case of enabling it - but you may also have to disable other playback devices for the duration. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

As I tried to indicate, there is NO HDMI sound icon there.
How do I get it back? |

In the systray (bottom right) you'll find a speaker symbol. Right click it and select "Playback devices". Click on the speakers you want to use, wait until it turns blue, and then click Set default; a green tick will appear. Ed |

But it doesn't work with the Samsung TV HDMI set. So I have some cheap speakers plugged into the sound card jack. And when I record I have to remember to switch them on and set them as default; and then back when finished. Fortunately I only do the recording thing about once every six months. Ed |
