Windows 10: Windows won't recognise lcd tv as audio device

I had a smart tv connected to windows pc. The pc can no longer take a hdmi cable due to repairs done to it. so i was using a vga cable for picture and a red and white with connection for sound.I assume it is an rca connector. red and white connections for tv, and one connection at other end for PC.Unfortunately the tv monitor no longer works. But luckily i have an lcd tv, not smart.I connected the lcd tv to the Pc in the same way, ie vga cable for vision, and "rca connecters " for sound.Unfortunately the Pc doesn't recognise the tv as a sound device. I went into sound settings and the tv is no

My TV no longer recognises my PC

Since moving to Windows 10, my Samsung TV doesn't recognise my PC. When I bought the TV it recognised my PC, then on Windows 7, immediately as one of the available sources, along with USB, HDMI etc. Now that I have changed to Windows 10, however, the TV
can't see the PC as an input, though everything else, including wifi network and internet access, works as before. I've looked in the devices list in Windows 10 settings, and the TV is listed as available.
Any suggestions, please?

 

Windows isn't recognizing my tv as an audio device.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Update audio drivers: Go to the manufacturer's website for your laptop and download the latest audio drivers for your specific model. Install the drivers and restart your laptop.
   
2. Check default audio device: Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings." Under the “Output” section, make sure your TV is selected as the default audio device. If it's not listed, try connecting the HDMI cable while the TV is turned on and see if it appears.
   
3. Enable audio output: Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings." Scroll down to the "Advanced sound options" section and click on "App volume and device preferences." Make sure the TV is not muted and the volume is turned up.
   
4. Disable audio enhancements: Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings." Under the “Output” section, click on "Device properties." Go to the “Enhancements” tab and check the box next to "Disable all enhancements." Click Apply and see if the audio starts working.
   
5. Test with different HDMI cables: Try using a different HDMI cable to connect your laptop to the TV. Sometimes, faulty cables can cause audio issues.
   
6. Try different HDMI ports: If your laptop has multiple HDMI ports, try connecting to a different port on your laptop and see if the audio works.
   
7. Update Windows: Make sure your Windows 11 is up-to-date with the latest updates. Go to Settings > Windows Update and click on "Check for updates."

Hi There,

I have a few problems. and have even reinstall windows but it just won´t work anymore

1. HDMI to Connect Tv.

I tried different ports cables. But getting "NO SIGNAL".

When i disconnect the power cable i suddenly have kindoff connection, but it´s not stable, It keeps going black. and has Noise on the left side.

On my Sons it works just fine. It´s the same TV only smaller version.

2. WIreless Project . Here same i keep getting could´nt connect. and sometimes suddenly at the settings tab it says it does not support miracast. and some moments later it does... !

It is really weird.

It has always worked just fine. So i don´t know whats the problem.

My son has the same Notebook, and has no problems.

Both have been reinstalled because of new Harddrive.

And mine just won´t work anymore. on this subject.

Please help.
