Failure in switching audio from laptop to second monitor

Hello, CluelessCL

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Thank you for describing the issue you're facing with switching audio output from your laptop to the second monitor via HDMI. It's essential to have a seamless experience when using external monitors. To assist you further, I'd like to gather some more specific details:

1-Can you confirm if the issue is specific to the second monitor's speakers, or does it also occur when using other audio devices, such as external speakers or headphones?

2-Have you tried different HDMI cables or tested the monitor's audio output with another device to ensure it's functioning as expected?

3-Are you using any third-party audio management software or apps that might be affecting the audio output switching behavior?

4-Have you recently made any changes to your laptop's audio settings or installed any updates that might have coincided with the time when this issue started?

Additionally, please provide the following details:

• The make and model of your laptop.
  
• The make and model of the second monitor you're using.
  

If possible, try the following steps and let me know the results:

1. Restart your laptop while keeping the HDMI connection to the second monitor intact and then check if you can switch audio output.
   
2. Disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable while audio is playing on your laptop to see if this triggers the audio to switch to the monitor's speakers.
   

Once I have this information, I'll be able to provide you with more targeted troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue with audio output switching between your laptop and the second monitor.

Looking forward to your response so that I can assist you further.

Best regards,
