Windows 10: Problem with my HDMI (Sound) from my video card. Any pros?

Hi,

i've got hooked to my television my computer trough HDMI in my Asus radeon R9 280x

The problem is the following.. when i was under Windows 7 everything was working just fine and now ..

I've got 2 screens plugged into my computer:
1: Samsung P2350 23" LCD monitor connected with DVI on my R9 280X (that i use 90% of the time)
2: Sharp LC60E69U 60" LCD television connected with HDMI on my R9 280X (to watch some series mostly)

While i was under Windows 7: when i was turning on my television and selecting to it in my computer the sound was going through my HDMI and i was able to redirect it to my Yamaha amp in my sound system. So i had a nice surround sound.

Now under Windows 10: i'm trying to do the same and going into my sound tab and selecting my 60" television as the default audio device.... but the option is ALWAYS impossible to pick. So i always have to watch my series with the sound of my computer.

I have a Sound Blaster X-FI Platinum so i cound always use the output from there and redirect it from the front of my computer to my sound system but its just retarded because i should be able to get my source from the HDMI from my video card..

Oh anyways my LC60E69U is grayed out in my sound panel ... but my display is extended on my 60" and its working.. go figure..


Any clue? advices ?

i'm open to suggestions!

Thanks

:)

 

I have to reboot to enable my TV speakers

Hi Ashwin,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

I suggest you to follow these steps to change HDMI cable setting to default.

If you’re using an HDMI cable to connect your PC to a monitor with speakers that supports HDMI, you might not be able to hear sound. HDMI cables support audio signals, but not all video cards with HDMI support audio. You might also need to set the HDMI audio
device as the default.To check to see if sound is supported over HDMI follow these steps:

• Enter Sound in the search box, and then tap or click
  Sound.
• 
  Tap or click the Playback tab and look for an
  HDMI device; this will appear as a speaker icon and will be labeled
  Speakers, followed by the name of the device.
  
• 
  If you have an HDMI device, tap or click the device, tap or click
  Set Default, and then tap or click OK.Changing the audio device might require you to restart your
  PC.
  

If you don't have an HDMI audio device, your HDMI monitor should have an audio input, and you might need to connect a separate audio cable from your PC sound card directly to the monitor. If the monitor doesn't have speakers, you'll need to connect the audio
signal to a different device, such as external PC speakers or your home stereo system.

Some video cards with HDMI output require you to connect a wire from your video card to the sound device. This usually requires a small wire connection inside your PC from the video card to the sound card. Check the manual that came with your video card
for instructions on how this should be done.

If you recently installed a new video card, it's possible that the video card driver installation app set your video card as the default audio device. In this case, you'll need to set your preferred video card as the default audio device to fix the problem.
See the earlier instructions for help setting the default audio device.

See if this helps.

Thanks.

 

Sound wont come out of my monitor speakers Windows 10

I have my monitor plugged straight into my motherboard through hdmi (no video card or sound card) and my monitor has built in speakers. I would like to get my sound to come out of the monitor however in the sound menu the only 2 choices I have are "Digital
Audio (S/PDIF)." There are two of them and i have no idea what they even are. There is a "Digital Audio (HDMI)" but it says its not plugged in.

 

heh nvm .. 2nd problems on this forum... 2nd time i fix it myself. I trying to reinstall my hdmi drivers through AMD drivers and it worked... it seems like my drivers were corrupted..

thanks to me ! *sarc
