dual monitors stops sound

Hi David,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

To assist you better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

• When will the sound disable, when playing through main monitor or the extended monitor?
• Did you try enabling the sound from the sound drivers and check if it helps?
• Since from when are you facing this issue?

This issue causes because the monitor automatically takes the HDMI sound as the Default input. Disable and enable the speakers and check if it helps.

I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

• Right click on the volume control and then
  Properties,
• When you connect the HDMI it becomes the default output device, even though it has no speakers.
• You need to change this back to "Speakers" and set as default.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted to help you better.

 

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?

 

How to get sound to play through monitor.

Hello. I have an HP Envy 17t-j100 Quad edition. It has a Nvidia 740M. I use it closed while connected to a monitor through HDMI. My monitor is a Dell S2415h. The monitor has speakers, but only through HDMI. It does not have an aux in. Audio only plays
through laptop speakers. I want it to play through monitor speakers. Here is what I have tried. My laptop only has a "IDT audio codec", which has no way to change settings. It does not have Realtek.

• Went to sound settings in control panel under the playback tab.
  • The HDMI is not there
• Restarted with the monitor plugged in.
• Installed drivers for the monitor.
  • Didn't do anything
• Went to device manager to try to see if I can enable a sound device.
  • I did not see the name of the monitor, but I did see a "High definition audio device" with a yellow triangle next to it. I tried to get it to update drivers, but it doesn't do anything.
• Updated all drivers and Windows
• Went to Nvidia control panel and also Intel chipset settings. There is nothing to change settings for audio. Only 3d and graphics.

Please let me know how to fix it. Thank you.
