    Computer only plays back sound through monitor which has no speakers 01/22/21


    Laptop with WIndows 10. Speakers work just fine. When I plug in external monitor using HDMI the sound stops.

    Struggled with Device Manager, Sounds, and Mixer, trying to switch from "External Speakers" to built in sound.

  2. dual monitors stops sound

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • When will the sound disable, when playing through main monitor or the extended monitor?
    • Did you try enabling the sound from the sound drivers and check if it helps?
    • Since from when are you facing this issue?
    This issue causes because the monitor automatically takes the HDMI sound as the Default input. Disable and enable the speakers and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Right click on the volume control and then
      Properties
      ,
    • When you connect the HDMI it becomes the default output device, even though it has no speakers.
    • You need to change this back to "Speakers" and set as default.

    no sound plays through internal speakers

    I cannot get any sound to play through the internal speakers of my laptop. It did play previously. The speaker in the task bar has a red and white x and the trouble shooter says no speakers headphones plugged in. When I pull up the info on sound it lists
    its location at HDMI port. Suggestions?

    Sound playing through computer while a monitor is connected

    I recently bought a Samsung monitor and I am using an HDMI cable to connect the two. While plugged in the sound will only play through the monitor, but I have no speakers. Does anyone know how (if possible) to get the sound to play through the computer?
