Lap top to television screen by hdmi cable

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. We are glad to help you.

I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it works:

Kindly follow the below steps:

Step 1:

I would suggest you to disconnect the HDMI cable and try to connect it by following these steps.

a. Turn off your computer and position it within easy reach of your TV. Disconnect the monitor, but leave the mouse and keyboard connected.

b. Connect the appropriate video cable from your computer's output to your TV.

c. Turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the output on your computer. You might need to refer to the user's guide included with your TV for instructions on how to do this.

d. Turn on your computer.

e. You should see Windows displayed on your TV. If the screen looks stretched, or part of the screen seems cut off, you probably need to adjust the screen resolution in Windows.

f. If you can't see Windows on your TV, you might need to reconnect the computer to your monitor and adjust the screen resolution before you connect to your TV.



Step 2: To adjust screen resolution follow this steps:

• 
  Right click on the screen and select
  Display settings.
  
• 
  Click on Advanced display settings.
  
• 
  Set the resolution to recommended level. (recommended level varies from device to device)
  

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for further queries. We will be happy to assist.

Thank you.

 

Missing sound when connecting my Lap Top to a TV with HDMI

I regularly connect my Lap Top to a TV with a HDMI cable. It has so far been working perfect for both picture and sound.

I now have a problem with the sound. The picture is still working OK but I now only get sound from the internal speakers in my Lap Top.

When opening Playback Devices I no longer see my Sony TV (Show disconnected and Disabled Devices enabled).

Any help in getting the sound back to my TV would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

PC and TV not connecting via HDMI cable

If the PC has detected your HDMI-TV connection then it will be shown as an additional display in Settings, System, Display.




If there is no additional display shown then your PC has not detected your HDMI-TV connection
- Unless there is something wrong with the connection itself, I'd first try going to your PC maker then downloading and [re-]installing the latest display driver.
- I suggest you also check your PC manual & any user forum your PC maker provides to see if there is any useful guidance there.
- You might also get somebody else to connect their PC to your TV using the same TV settings & HDMI cable to prove that nothing there is at fault.
