HDMI Sound from TV

[mxpxpxpx]

Hello, I have a Lenovo laptop and when I connect an HDMI cable all I get is video no audio. Audio comes from the laptop and not the TV. When I go to sound settings no HDMI Devices appear. I have updated my graphics driver and other drivers. What could be causing this? I have checked for disabled and disconnected devices and show nothing. The only thing that appears is Speakers.

You may need to Shut Off the speakers in your laptop, so the sound will go out through the HDMI cable to the TV.

I've never tried to do that on a laptop, but on any of my Desktop PC's (there are several) if I want to send both picture and sound to a TV, via an HDMI cable, I have to make sure that my desktop speakers are UN-Plugged. Otherwise all the sound comes out through the PC speakers, even with the video going out to the TV via the HDMI cable.

This is as close as I can come, to answering your question.

Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?

your sound target is computer by default, so you may need to change the target as TV .. refer below ;

else, another trick is to redirect the sound to TV;

for permanent solution;

SET HDMI AS DEFAULT PLAYBACK SERVICE​

Windows might not be able to detect HDMI due to problems with the detection of default playback services. Hence, you can set HDMI as the default playback service. Follow these steps.

Step 1: Click on the Search icon in the taskbar and type Sound settings. Then, open Sound settings.

Step 2: In the Sound settings menu, scroll down to the Advanced section and click on More sound settings.

Step 3: Here, from the Playback tab, click on the desired HDMI output. Next, click on Set Default.

Now, when the HDMI output is connected, Windows will automatically select it as the default output option.

for Realtek default sound boards;

TURN ON HDMI AUTO-DETECTION​

If the auto-detection for external sound devices is turned off, Windows might not be able to detect any external sound devices. Here is how to turn on auto-detection for any audio output device.

Step 1: Go to search and open the device’s audio console. Click on the icon to open the Audio Console.

Step 2: Go to ‘Device advanced settings’.

Step 3: Turn on the toggle for the ‘Enable Jack detection when device is plugged in’ option.

Windows will now automatically detect HDMI audio output. That should probably solve your problems with the HDMI audio not working.

Or, on my desktop PC, I just unplug the PC speakers, and reboot, to get the sound to go to the HDMI output, and then hope that the speakers in my TV are working.
