  1. Connecting laptop to TV


    Hello, I have recently bought a new TV and when I connect it to my laptop through HDMI it shows the screen, but the sound still comes from the laptop. I have checked around and most people say you just go to sound options and choose the TV as the sound device, but when I open my device manager, I don't have such options. I have only speaker/headphone. Please let me know if there is any way to fix this and to choose the TV as a sound device when it is connected to the laptop. Thank you in advance!

    :)

    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.

    • When you connected the HDMI to the TV, what source/display option did you choose?
