Windows 10: Laptop plays sound over HDMI display

I have my Nintendo Switch connected to my laptop (Alienware 17) via HDMI. As of today, when I turn on the console, the laptop monitor displays the image of the Switch, but the audio from a browser or anything else still plays instead of the sounds from the Switch. There is no sound coming from the Switch at all, but it was transmitting audio & image yesterday just fine. When I plugged the system into a TV, the audio was there. What can I do?

Hdmi sound not working

Hi Peter,

One possible reason why the HDMI sound does not work is due to the conflicts with the playback settings. For us to help you make the HDMI sound to work, we suggest that you answer the following questions for further research:

• Have you made any recent changes to your computer?
• What is the current build and version of your Windows 10?
• Have you tried to download and install the most updated sound and display driver of your computer?

Meanwhile, we suggest that you perform the steps on this
article as our initial troubleshooting and see if there will be any changes on the HDMI sound.

We'll be waiting for your response.

 

no sound plays through internal speakers

I cannot get any sound to play through the internal speakers of my laptop. It did play previously. The speaker in the task bar has a red and white x and the trouble shooter says no speakers headphones plugged in. When I pull up the info on sound it lists
its location at HDMI port. Suggestions?

 

Split screen with sound on Laptop and TV through HDMI

HEY WILFREDO, you say this:

We show you an example, keep in mind that depending on your operating system and sound card, the images may vary, but the steps are very similar.

WHERE IS THE EXAMPLE ????????

The HDMI audio there in settings is already enabled by default as I have seen on all PC's I connected to TV's via HDMI.

You must not read the question.

They state that they already have SOUND out of the TV through HDMI or speakers on laptop for the video on TV.

Such as playing a Video on a media player/web page on TV via HDMI, there is sound.

And then playing another video on another media player/web page on the main laptop screen and they have no sound, as they should if I am not mistaken. But possibly not. Kind of like plugging in USB speakers, now your other speakers do not work as you have
to switch to USB as default speakers.

I get sound from every program no matter how many monitors are connected and what is playing what per display.

But probably this Laptop, you are going to get sound from both at one time on speakers or sound with HDMI on TV and possibly not on laptop. The HDMI sound enabled for TV could disable the sound for laptop speakers.

I am going to bed. I have 3 monitors and 1 TV connected HDMI to my PC. I will double check tomorrow, But I have a PC with Vinyl-VIA HD AUDIO and 5.1 surround sound speakers and not a limited laptop. There are many possibilities depending on your hardware
of video and audio and then configurations.

OP, is the sound coming out of the TV or the Laptop speakers while playing the video on the TV. Give me that info and i will check tomorrow. Because I know for a fact you can drag a video to the TV and have sound out of the PC speakers connected
HDMI and another video playing on PC and have sound for that too. But who watches 2 programs with 2 sounds going.

So I have never tried getting sound out of TV speakers via HDMI and sound out of PC speakers for a 2nd video playing the same time on PC.
