Windows 10: Problem with HDMI Splitter Audio Extractor on Windows 10

I've got a speakers-less monitor which I want to connect to my laptop running Windows 10. I've bought this HDMI Splitter Audio Extractor which hooks up a monitor to an exernal audio device, which then should play sounds coming from any device linked to the splitter via HDMI. It works great with my Nintendo Switch, but when I use my laptop this way, I can't get the audio to play from the speakers that I connected to the HDMI Splitter, even though no such problem arise when directly plugging that same computer to a TV. Does anybody know what's happening here?

HDMI Splitter

Just a splitter will give you the same image on both monitors.
If your computer has a second output like a second hdmi, vga or dmi port
you can try hooking up the second monitor to that to get your second display.

There are usb to hdmi listed but I have never tried them.

That's what I was wondering. I do have Dual Monitors, and my main monitor is HDMI, and my second monitor is on a DVI to HDMI adapter to a 32" 720p (I wish it was 1080p).

A splitter will not work it only shows the same image on two screens.

Your graphic card needs to have 2 HDMI ports.
