Windows 10: Audio via HDMI to TV

My friend could switch off his LG TV and still listen tomusic from a video playing on his Acer Aspire E15 via HDMI on the TV before he updatedWindows 10 to Windows 10 Anniversary Update now he is unable to hear the musicfrom the video on the Acer Aspire E15 laptop on the TV when the TV is switchedoff. Could this be because Windows 10 Anniversary Update has installed adifferent driver?

Audio out from HDMI port?

I have connected my TV and Booklet via a standard HDMI cable. This same HDMI cable works fine with my DVD player. When I use it with my booklet, only video seems to be sent to the TV via the HDMI cable. Is the HDMI out port supporting only video, or
audio as well? I understand the booklet supports HDMI 1.2, which should support an audio profile, as far as I know.



Let me know if you have been able to get audio to work over HDMI.



thanks,

John

 

Microsoft Edge interferes with HDMI audio

I stream TV using a browser and connect to TV via HDMI output. Some resent update eliminated the HDMI audio from the output signal. There was no change in the audio driver and the HDMI audio controls seem unaffected but there is no audio output.

To check on whether it is a Microsoft Edge problem I downloaded and installed the Chrome broswer. The HDMI audio works well streaming under Chrome but not Microsoft Edge.

Is there a fix or workaround for HDMI audio under the latest version of Microsoft Edge?

This is very problematic for videostreaming. Thanks

 

Probably. You'd get better help with that if you could supply the detailed Acer model number, which isn't Aspire E15.

I'm a little surprised that the TV ever played sound from an HDMI connection while the TV was nominally turned off, but I've never tried anything like that.

 

Ditto.

Logically thinking how on earth can a TV play incoming HDMI audio when TV is turned off?

 

Ditto.
I could not believe what my friend was say and insisting on when he said he could play audio from the pc when the TV switched off but as I do not have a TV I thought I would ask here to confirm that it was impossible. So thank you for the confirmation.

What I have found out is that he can turn the screen off on the TV whilst he can listen to the audio on the TV.
