  1. Why is it that speakers of the device connected via HDMI are not always recognized?


    I use my laptop to watch videos on TV, but sometimes when I connect it via HDMI it doesn't use the speakers from the TV and there's no way to select those and audio comes out of the laptop.

    Only way to have it working is to restart the system.

    Has anyone else had this and is there a way to fix it?

    ok got to work from hdmi and speaker but can output go from headset and hdmi

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft community forum.



    To have a better understanding of the issue, please help us with the following information:



    1. Are you trying to output Audio via HDMI/headset or to a speaker/headset connect to your HDMI device?


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to update the audio driver and set HDMI Device
    as default device.



    Regards,

    Laptop not recognizing TV through HDMI connection

    Hello everyone!

    First I do apologize if this is not the correct section for this thread.

    I've had issues connecting my laptop to TV for the past day. Connection is done through an HDMI cable. Connection was good up until it randomly turned off itself while playing a game. There have been no hardware or software changes whatsoever that would affect it.

    TV is SAMSUNG, Model: UE32J4000AW. Laptop info is available in My PC Specs. (laptop is brand new, week or two old)

    Here's what I've tried so far:


    • 3 different HDMI cables
    • switching between ports on TV
    • tried all projection options on Laptop
    • Disable / Enable both Intel and Nvidia drivers
    • Rollback Intel GPU driver and installed it back to latest version
    • Re-installed Nvidia driver
    • Restarted PC and TV
    • Scan for hardware changes through Device Manager
    • Checked Intel and Nvidia control panels - there were no available options
    • Apparently both HDMI ports on the TV work as I tried them with a tv box.

    I think that's all I've tried so far, will add anything else if missed. Open to suggestions.
