would not you also need to mke sure your TV was 720p, 1080i, and 1080p capable?

rxe said: THANKS, BUT IV FINALLY GOT AUDIO TO STREAM AS WELL USING JUST MY HDMI CABLE,FROM TV, THOSE THAT HAD SAME PROBLEM,THIS IS WHAT I DID, WENT INTO CONTROL PANEL,HARDWARE AND SOUNDS ON VISTA LAPTOP,THEN MANAGE AUDIO, CHOSE SPDIF(CONEXANT HD AUDIO) THEN CLICKED AND ENABLED IT,PRESSED OK, DID A TEST.THAT WAS IT!

That's great news, and good advice for anyone else running into this problem. Sometimes it's easy for us geeks to jump over the "is the setting enabled" simple solutions. ;-)

Enjoy your digital sound!

Hi there, I'm in need of help, I'm all out of options and I think I've tried everything.

I'm running my PC through my HD tv, I can get the video working fine, no problems at all, but no matter what I try I cannot get any audio.

I've tried running the audio lead through through the TV and even direct through the stereo speakers but still nothing, I've tried all the outputs at the back of the PC and still nothing. Even through the HDMI and no separate audio leads there is STILL no audio.

Can anyone shed some light on this as I cannot think of anything else i can try.

My TV is the Sony KDL 32W4000 and the PC is a Dell XPS 420. Not sure if that will make a difference.

I had the same problem and came to this board for help and found my own solution.

My set-up: ASUS lap top running Vista with HDMI cable connected to 26" Sony (KDL-26M400)

For some reason, probably my own doing, I lost the device configuration for "HDMI Output" that shows up in:
Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Manage audio devices

How did I fix it?
plug and play baby. . . I unpluged the HDMI cable from the monitor and pluged it in hot. Vista recognized the new device and added the "missing" files.

Good Luck

Hi, it seems the majority here have only audio issues. I have both (Audio and Video). I have a HDMI to RCA/VGA cable which I recently bought and I'm trying to connect my PC to my TV. When I connect them through RCA, I don't get any Audio or Video on TV and when I try TV's VGA (PC) connection, I don't see an external monitor option on my PC (Fn+F5). I have an Acer laptop running Win 7 and LG TV. Am I doing something wrong here? It looks like my PC doesn't detect the HDMI cable at all. I have successfully connected my PC to another TV that had a HDMI input using an HTMI cable.

Thanks in advance.

I'm running WIN7 on a dell laptop (inspiron 1525). Connected laptop to a Sony Bravia TV via HDMI...great video, no sound to tv...just the laptop speakers. So, I added a Y audio cord from the headset jack of the laptop, still no audio to the TV unless I unplug the HDMI connection (seems HDMI overrides the audio cable). In the sound device box, my laptop doesn't seem to recognize the HDMI connection and I'm sure all drivers are up to date. On the other hand I get both sound and video from tv when connected with VGA/audio cables. Very frustrating as I want the higher resolution for my photography work and photo/audio/essays. I'm stuck, and have tried many solutions.

I have a unique situation I hope someone can help with. I'm hooking up a PC via HDMI to an NEC P461 LCD. The resolution is odd - cutting off apx 10 pixels all the way around so that the system tray is barely visible and the top of the recycle bin is cut off etc.. What I'm saying is that it's cut off all the way around - not just on the right and bottom like a normal resolution issue. Ok - just store that in the back of your head for now.

Next - there is no HDMI option on the PC for audio. However, audio does work fine over HDMI only. So, now I take this same PC and hook it to a Dell monitor - resolution is perfect, sound still works fine. Ok - store that in the back of your head for now.

Next - I take an identical PC (I mean identical) and start this whole process with the Dell monitor first. Video is good, but no sound. No matter what settings I change. So I take the PC, go hook it to the NEC display and back to the resolution issue I described above. But now sound works. Disconnect and move back over to the Dell monitor - resolution is perfect and sound works.

So my question is - Dell has caused us weird issues in the past, so I'm not surprised to have these - but what is it in the NEC that is triggering audio to work? And what is it triggering? Is this just completely hidden in something like DDC that I can't do anything about or is there a setting somewhere that I can get to?

I'm a digital signage re-seller and I'm sending these PCs out to a customer. I can get them all set up to work here before they go by hooking them to the NEC P461 display, but what happens when they mess up and I'm trying to fix them in the field? I can't tell my customer to unrack the PC, go find an NEC display somewhere and connect it to it and then take it back.

If anyone understands what I'm saying and can help, I sure would appreciate it!

Thank you,

If this helps anyone. I had same problem. Enabled sound over hdmi. Still not working. Have Samsung TV. When I changed the name of HDMI input to anything other than DVI PC then sound would work.

Hi,
I seem to have sound and picture when I connect my HDMI lead to the TV but the picture and sound keeps jumping every few minutes. I have tried to 'google' the issue but I cant find anyone who seems to have the same problem - Does anyone know how to help???
