    problem with hdmi audio switching back to 3.5mm jacks front/back


    Hi, hdmi audio works but switching back to audio through 3.5mm headphone/speaker jacks front and back won't work anymore. a few weeks ago connected my hdmi cable to bigger tv, watched movie with video and audio through hdmi. when i switched hdmi cable back to regular monitor, audio through 3.5mm jacks would not work. system settings says my headphones are disabled and disconnected and no device is connected. tried updating drivers, many, many other possible solutions to no avail. recently reconnected hdmi cable to tv, audio output is fine, just not through 3.5mm jacks front or back????Sy

    :)

    Audio Issues Switching Between HDMI Inputs

    Having problems with audio when switching between HDMI Inputs. Have tried updating drivers, changing output devices, windows audio restart, switching which HDMI they are on, changed HDMI cords etc. NOTHING works. We have a PC in HDMI 3 and a PS4 in HDMI 2. HDMI 2 always works fine. However, when switching back to the PC, we MUST restart the PC when we switch inputs back to it in order to receive audio.

    We also have the issue if we turn off the display and leave the pc running. We must restart the entire computer before we receive audio in the PC input. We are assuming this is a windows issue of some sort because we don't have the issue with the PS4 input. Only when we are on the PC.

    We have never had these issues before under the same setup for a few years now. Issues arose on their own in the past few months,

    Any suggestions?

    How to play audio via both HDMI and audio jack?

    I found one for under £20 so have ordered.

    The device I ordered did not work as described, so I have sent it back.

    Basically, it had a 3-switch mode: 5.1, 2.0, or passthrough. In passthrough mode the audio played through HDMI but not the other audio outputs. In the other modes, the audio played through the other outputs, but not through HDMI (though the video through HDMI was fine).

    I found a similar-looking but different-brand device on a well-known site that allows asking questions of previous purchasers, one of whom confirmed that that device didn't work as anticipated either.

    I want the audio to play through HDMI (along with video) AND a 3.5mm stereo jack AT THE SAME TIME - AND IN SYNC. We are more than 20 years into the 21st century. How hard can that be?

    problem with hdmi audio switching back to 3.5mm jacks front/back

    Surface Pro 3 - No HDMI Audio Output

    I’ve solved this by buying an Active minidisplay port to HDMI. I get sound through HDMI now.
