no audio on extended display

Is your computer’s Operating System updated?

How about your Audio drivers, can you check if it is updated and can support HDMI audio output?

If your answer to those questions are yes, then you can check these steps to setup audio for your extended display:

• Connect your laptop to the extended display using the HDMI cable.
• On the lower right side of your task bar, right click on the Audio icon.
• Select Playback device
• If you don’t see your extended display (T.V) you can right click on a blank space on the Playback tab and select Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices.
• One your extended display (T.V) is showing, please check if it is enable.
• Then Select OK.

Do a test and check if the audio is now playing on the extended display, if issue still persists, try to restart your computer without removing the HDMI for both devices.

Let us know how it goes.

 

multiple display -taskbar and icons

Hello Jim,

The system icons will show on the taskbar of the main display by default in Windows 10.

If you wanted each display to be "extended" to show separately, then you could either change which display is the main display, or unlock the taskbar and drag and drop the main taskbar with system icons to the display you want without it changing the main display.

Another option is to set your displays to "duplicate" (Settings -> System -> Display) to have both show the same thing.

  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
