Hey there – thanks for this. I had the SAME issue with the same computer. However, my sound options only include speakers, and the Realtek Digital Output. I wonder if I can get the HDMI Output, and how different it would be. It’s annoying to constantly change my sound defaults every time I plug my laptop into the TV (something I need to do with Realtek Digital Output).

@Julia – So what you’re saying is that the Realtek HDMI Output under Playback tab does not appear?

You say you have the same computer, but you also state that it is a laptop. The article was written for the HP desktops. I’m assuming the laptop you are referring to has an HDMI port.

Please let me know so that I can help you.

Hi Gil – on my second look – it’s not the same computer (exactly) – but similar! I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (laptop). And no, Realtek HDMI Output doesn’t appear under the Playback tab – only ‘speakers’ and the ‘Realtek Digital Output’ (no other ‘hidden’ devices appear). I tried to download a driver yesterday from cnet but the download couldn’t complete. Anyway – Yes, I have an HDMI port – and that’s how I connect my laptop to my new TV. So I can get sound through the ‘Realtek Digital Output’ if I enable this as the default each time I connect. It’s just a pain to change the settings once a day!

@Julia: Let’s see if we can make some sense of this.

When you plug the HDMI cable to your laptop and switch to the Realtek Digital Output you are able to listen to the audio using the HDMI cable, correct?

The problem you are having is the switching back and forth of the settings to enable the sound through HDMI?

Please let me know… Thank you.

Can the HDMI interface on HP notebooks be used as INPUT instead of output ? for example, live broadcasting using a cammera.

Thanks.

@Esteban: I’m not sure that it can. I believe that HDMI plug on HP computers is only an output. If you would like to input an HDMI connection I suggest buying a video capturing device. Let me know if that answers your question.

Hi Gil – Yes, I can watch a DVD from my laptop but hear the audio on the TV when I change my Sound Settings to make Realtek Digital Output as the default device. And yes again – the problem is that I have to keep switching to this as the default for anything on the TV, and back to Stereo to hear anything from the laptop when not plugged in to the TV. Any ideas?

I’m having a HDMI problem with the audio on my HP pavilion pc as well. I installed a new video card (ATI All-in-wonder HD) Although I now get beautiful video and video speed I never thought possible, I now have no sound. Going to the sound control on my control panel shows me only one choice of sound output now and it says it’s working. It says Digital Output Device (HDMI) but no sound at all. I have tried every outlet possible to both my monitor and my speakers but have no sound at all…….any ideas?

@Julia: Unfortunately I’m unaware of an automatic switching between one and the other. The reason for the difference in devices available stems from the fact that the desktop has additional audio/video inputs and outputs.

That should explain this difference. If you ever find something, either software or a new driver that automatically sense the connection and performs the switching I would love to hear about as would other readers, thank you.

@Siren: Did the audio work prior to the card being installed? Is the HDMI device a Realtek device or an ATI device. Any more information would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi Gil,
I’m looking at all the posts here, it seems like you are quite familiar with the HDMI Audio… I have a serious problem that noone has resolved by now… Wonder if you could help me.
I have an ASUS Laptop, NVidia 8200M, Azalia (Realtek) HD Audio running on Win 7 x64. I try to connect the laptop to the TV through a VGA cable and additional audio cable that goes from my laptop headphones to the TV.
At first everything was ok, I was getting video and sound, but after an update from Win 7 I stopped gettign the audio when connected to TV
When I go to the sound manager I dont seem to have any HDMI Audio Output device although I have tried reinstalling the audio drivers and downloaded the latest Realtek Drivers. In the sound option I get only Digital Audio – High Definition Audio Device (which dispplays as Ready but it won’t work when selected) and Speakers – Realtek High Definition Audio.
Thanks in advance

@Yordan: In your comments you mentioned connecting to the VGA port on your laptop along with the audio cables. You made no mention of connecting to HDMI, have you tried that? Also with regards to an update messing up a driver, it is quite possible. Are the drivers certified to work with Win7. Also Windows 7 has not officially released to the public so don’t expect everything to work out of the box.

I would also try rolling back the update (not recommended because of security updates) to see if it resolves the issue. Good luck and keep us posted.

I have followed the steps you outlined to get sound through the HDMI cable and out the TV but the sound is choppy. I have tried different frequencies and they don’t help. There aren’t any updates for my driver and I’m using the codec that came with the machine (HP pavillion)
The guys at the store say it works fine there so there’s something in my set up that is a problem.
any ideas for me to try?

When i connect my laptop to my tv with a hdmi cable I get video fine but the audio is all scratchy sounding. I dont have ‘realtek hdmi options’ under the playback tab either. Is there a way I can get realtek hdmi options to come up? Do I need to change any other settings?

@laura – What options do you have? What is the sound card that appears? Do you have an HP machine? Is the sound you hear the sound from the movie you are attempting to watch (but scratchy) or is it just scratchy noise period? Sorry for the questions, but it will help me answer you questions. Thank you.

I have the HP Pavilion DV71175NR laptop, which has the hdmi output and I used it yesterday and had to manually set the audio to output thru the hdmi but today, I can’t switch back to the laptops Speakers because its not showing up in the list of audio devices. It has it set to independant dual headphones, which are not connected to it. I tried to set up through media center and its still not working. HELP!

I have a slightly different problem and hope someone can help me.
i have a HPDV6 1355dx running Windows 7. I cant seem to get any Audio or Video thru the HDMI output to my TV. The input on the TV is correct and the resolution within windows is correct. The Laptop seems “stuck” on VGA output (I confirmed this by hooking up another monitor I had at home)
My question is How do I change the default output from VGA to HDMI?
Again thanks for any help, Ive been dealing with HP’s tech support via phone and email the last couple of days and its been very frustrating.

Hi Gil. I recently had this issue with my HP Media Centre desktop and resolved the issue following your instructions above, however, I did a clean install of Windows 7 and since then, I again have no sound from the HDMI cable. I think the same process will fix it but when I get to step 3 above, I don’t have the option to de-select sample rates, they are all just listed without check boxes. Updating to latest and original drivers from HP/RealTek does not fix the issue nor did a new total clean install of Win 7. Any ideas ?

@Laura – You made sure that the Realtek audio was selected as the default and it was enabled?

@Shez – Check your TV manual to make sure that you are selecting the correct frequency for the Realtek Audio device on your computer. It could be that the frequency setting is unsupported so you need to modify it to match your TV’s. Try that and let us know how it went.

@Kristy – I’m assuming you have unplugged the HDMI cable…have you restarted the computer? Try disabling the audio device (Relatek and the regular device) and re-enable to see if that solves the problem. Let me know if you need help with that and I can walk you through it.

@AmyJ – So your TV does not have an HDMI port. I think you can get a cable for the HP Laptop that will allow you connect to the laptop and then output to the correct connectors. It’s an accessory.

Check the link below for a cable that should work.

Hi Gil
The solution in my case was retuning the HP DV6-1355 to HP. They wound up replacing the MOTHERBOARD and the THERMAL PAD.

The Laptop’s HDMI output works flawlessly now with every TV in my house except an older JVC ( HD52z585). The funny thing is that that TV’s HDMI works with a Playstation 3′s HDMI output but will not work at all with the laptop….. Any thoughts?

Thanks

@Keith – I wouldn’t reinstall 7…it sounds like a driver issue. Have you searched the HP forums to see if there is a solution? Also you say that the sample rates are listed, but you cant select them….are they grayed out? Have you disabled the audio driver and then re-enabled it? Let me know if any of these help…keep us posted if you do resolve the issue so that others can benefit from your experience. Thank you.

Many thanks in advance

@Zidany – What connector are you using to get to the TV from the laptop. If you are using HDMI you can get both audio and video, but it requires an additional configuration step found in this article. If you are using standard VGA or DVI you will need to run an audio cable from your laptop to the TV. Let me know if you need any other help. Good luck.

I've just encounted a problem with my external audio to TV. It was working fine with my HDMI output, then suddenly, no sound, only on my laptop. Previously it had worked every time I plugged in the HDMI cable. Any suggestions?

I'd check out the how-to and make sure that all the things jive…and of course make sure that any hardware or software installations changed settings. Let me know so that I can help you out.

i am having some issues with my hdmi connection… the first time i used it it was great! since then its has started not working some. now it isn't working at all… i had 3 tabs open and was streaming video on one and was loading video on the other 2 tabs….. the video was showing up but no sound… so in the past if i had multiple videos loading/streaming i have to find one that when i push play on then the others will work (sound wise) which was the case originally tonight… i then thought that maybe the hdmi cable wasnt connected all the way so i unhooked it then hooked it back in. the laptop screen goes black then back to the normal which i came to the conclusion means it acknowledges the output source. but the tv is saying no signal but it acknowledges there is something plugged in b/c the other hdmi sources on my tv (all 5) say that there is no device connected… so how and what do i do now since it is not connecting to my tv at all…any suggestions would be freaking awesome!

Hi Gil, thank you for your help to all of us here. I would like to ask You the HDMI port on my HP Laptop DV6845ev can it be used to connect a set top box also with HDMI on it to watch satellite TV on the Laptopscreen ?.

Hi Gil,
My name is Leo and I have tried what you said but it did not work. When I called the customer service from LG which is the make of my home theater system, they said that the HDMI cable carries video but not the sound. They suggested that I use an optical cable which my computer does not have a port for. What are my options?

Leo,

Thanks for the comment. What LG is saying does not make sense, “HDMI supports, on a single cable, any TV or PC video format, including standard, enhanced, and high-definition video; up to 8 channels of digital audio; and a Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) connection.”

Does your computer have the latest audio drivers? Is your computer an HP? Also, when you followed the instructions were all the steps present? Have you tried to use another HDMI device on this TV? Let me know so that I can help you with this issue.

Hi Gil
Thank you for thanking your time on my issue. I also thaught the customer service of LG was not making any sense. When I followed the instructions all the steps were present. I even thaught it was my driver so I downloaded a new sound driver. Please tell me what latest driver is and I will download it too. Yes I’ve tried different HDMI cables and the one I have in now was the one that I had connecting the TV to the cable box. My computer is HP Pavillion m9400f with window vista home edition. The home theater is from LG, Model LHB335. Once again thank you Gil

Hi Gil,
I failed to tell you that my computer originally didnot have an HDMI port but a DVI port. I used a HDMI adapter. Could that be a problem?

That is the problem. DVI does not transmit sound…so there is no way to physically send audio via that HDMI/DVI adapter. You are going to have to get an audio cable from the computer to your sound system or TV. Let me know if you need help with anything else.

Hi Gil,
I got it working now. Thank you so much.

Leo,

Glad to hear that! Did you end up adding an audio cable to your TV? If you ever need help with anything else, don’t hesitate to send me a message using the contact form. Thanks for following up.

Thanks a lot

Thank you so much, I’m glad that you have a good heart to help others.

It is interesting that HP and AMD (ATI Radeon HD5570) can’t fathom that someone would want to have sound from both their computer speakers and the HDTV at the same time(they are in different rooms). It took me several hours to realize that I could only have one output working at a time. Now I have to set the default in the sound panel and choose either HDMI, Speakers, Mic or Digital output. The moment you pick one the others are disabled. This is not so on my Dell computer with an NVIDIA card. If I can’t find a solution I will dump the Radeon and install an NVIDIA. Shame because it is a new HP Pavillion Elite HPE.

try to right click your mouse while you are in the list and choose to show all disconected items. Then activate it.

Cool, thank you so much for sharing the info. I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC and had issues not being able to hear the audio but only able to see the video. Ends up you only need the sample rate as specified, no need to setup the encoded formats in my case.

Harlan-

Did you check the cable with another device?

Thanks for the info, perhaps others will benefit from it. Have a good one.

I bought a brand new LG 55inch tv and had sound going through it great with my HDMI as with my tv before the LG connected to my computer. I didn’t really like it so I took it back and bought the Vizio XVT553SV series. I tried hooking up my HDMI to output sound from my computer when watching movies but it still shows the “LG TV2 NVIDIA HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO” as my HDMI Audio. I nhave been through everything! The techs nearly screwed my computer! Shut down onboard video and everything. It was a real mess! If you can help, (My Computer is a HP Pavillion Slimline s5260f)

Fallowed the instructions… everything is set up right, but the sound still comes out of the lap top speakers and will not come out of the TV speakers, any suggestions?

I was having troble too, but I just closed itunes and when I opened it again , all was working out!! So I dont know if some of you may have this trouble…

just make sure to close your music player once youve done all changes, the next time youll open it, it will be working….at least thats what was happening in my case

Thanks for sharing your experience. It probably had to do with iTunes using the other driver and when you changed it and then closed it, it began using the correct output.

Thanks heaps, have been trying to get mine working for ages

I use HP Pavilion dv6, and bought a HDMI cable, at first it all worked fine, but then i decided to use my headphones instead of my tv-speaker, and i pressed “Disable” in the sound options at the HDMI sound device, and now that i want it turned back on, it doesnt show, only my computer sound.. My question is, how do i re-activate my HDMI sound?

Have you tried rebooting the computer and re-enabling the audio device in
the Control Panel? Please let me know.

I just bought this LCD TV COBY TFDVD3295 .. When I’m plugging in my HP pavilion dv4 Laptop’s HDMI to this TV’s HDMI via HDMI Cable and when I start a movie on my laptop, videocomes top-notch but after a while audio becomes scratchy(like radio signal) in between .. Then Audio comes back fine and then suddenly again loud scratchy sound .. Why does this happen?

What if there is no HDMI audio device listed in the Playback tab? I have an HP dv3t and can only get video through HDMI. I’ve reinstalled and updated all sound device drivers and nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

If you just bought the laptop I recommend that you call HP to see if they
can help you…could be a faulty device. Also did you make sure that the
device is enabled in your computer?

Do you have the latest version of the drivers? Also, have you tried another
cable…could be a cable issue. Let us know how it goes.

Since last 2 days, somehow tht noise has disappeared .. So feeling good .. I was treaming data fromInternet and then I was watching it on TV via my laptop so streaming audio-Video at the same time might hv caused the problem.. I have ordered a new cable wich will arrive in a day or two .. Will update teh frum once I use the new cable ..

Great to hear. Thanks.
