    I am using an external monitor as my main screen connected to my laptop, when the monitor goes into standby mode the laptop starts making windows hardware add/remove sound and won't stop until I move one of my peripherals to wake up the screen .I would appreciate any help on this issue , I've tried setting the screen timeout on both the monitor and the laptop to be the same but that didn't work .

    No sound when connected to external monitor

    Hi Bill,

    To fix this issue, you can try the steps below:

    • Plug in both ends of the HDMI without the laptop on.
    • Turn the external monitor on and set to HDMI screen.
    • Boot up your laptop from a shutdown position (not restart).
    • Your laptop will now recognize the external monitor and will acknowledge its presence.
    • Right-click the speaker icon on the task bar and choose
      View Volume Controls.
    • Set TV as default.
    • Click Apply, then click Ok.
    You can also refer to the article in this

    to help fix sound problems.

    Let us know how it goes.

  3. Laptop suddenly stopped recognizing the external monitor

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I would like to ask if the laptop is unable to recognize only the external monitor or other external devices also.

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Click on the Start button, and type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar.
    • Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
    • A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

    Hope the information is helpful. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
