Hi Donald. Right click the volume icon of the computer and go to 'Playback Devices'. Choose the TV as the default playback device.

the cable alone is not enough to carry both audio and video. you need to purchase a inverter. I've seen them in radioshack at around $60.00.

I believe you could change the settings on your laptop to run the video through the HDMI but the audio through the laptop's speakers.EDIT 1: I just tried it out myself on a Windows 8 laptop and I was able to switch audio output from the projector to the laptop seamlessly.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Good question, thanks for asking! Sometimes Windows will switch the playback device to the HDMI port when a cable is connected, even if that cable isn't able to transmit sound. There's a Windows setting that can be changed so that audio will continue to play through your laptop speakers. (You should only need to make this change once.) With the cable plugged in, you'll want to change your preferred playback device setting. This site has a good quick guide to where the setting is found: http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-default-playback-recording-audio-device If you have any other questions feel free to email support@plugable.com and we'll be happy to help!

Hi Deborah,I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have.Hope this helps.Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

Not sure what the problem may be as I get a very decent quality picture on my TV when connected to my kindle with this cable. I use the HDMI3 port on my TV (I think I have 3 or 4 HDMI ports....) - not sure if that might make a difference....sorry could not be of more help.....

I had the same problem. The real answer is quite a head scratcher! It took me several hours of dealing with customer service. You can't get sound through hdmi from your computer unless you ALSO link the 1/8-inch audio cable from your computer to the RGB PC Audio jack on the back. The tech seemed to think it was due to the fact that most computers do not have a high end Dolby Digital True HD 7.1, or even 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic. I think that if a computer has the video capability to support HDMI, it should also have the correct sound decoding card. But, computers have always been all about the picture quality, while the sound is played on a speaker smaller than a quarter! I had the same problem. The real answer is quite a head scratcher!

You don't say how you are trying to use the cable. PC to TV? If that is the case, check the sound settings on your PC. You might need to change sound settings from default to external, or possiblly HDMI, depending on type of PC, sound card, etc.

The HDMI cable works as expected but if you are connecting it to your computer and only have DVI connections, then no, the audio will not work. If you have an HMDI output on your computer, make sure the video card is connected to the motherboard with the bi-pass cord (i forget the name)

Make sure the cable is pushed all the say into the hdmi converter. For more info see my review of the product.

It depends on the HDMI cable and the video card, some video cards don't transmit audio but if it is your laptop you are talking about then their should be audio this is where the type of HDMI cable comes in play, usually and HDMI 1.2 and up will transmit audio. A video card for a desktop computer usually does not transmit audio, you would have to do it through the normal audio port (green) to transmit the sound. Also you might have to adjust where the sound is going if you are using your laptop, if it has a control manager for the video card you can shoose the defualt where to send the sound i.e HDMI.

To test if it is the cable, try another cable even if it is not the preferred length. If your TV has more HDMT ports try all the ports. If none of those salved the issue, try another TV on your laptop. One of those should narrow down where the problem lies. Hope things work out for you.

This is only a guess. If you are using an HDMI cable, it may be trying to pass audio to the monitor and muting the laptop audio. I suggest you try VGA or, if your laptop is so equipped, a digital cable.

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

We use a "Artcessories, AV Direct Multi-input Audio / Visual Direct Box". This supplies both visual and audio. On the other PMP4000 (we use two of them at our Church) we use the HDMI for video from the Laptop to the TV and then an 1/8" audio cable from the Laptop to the PMP4000 for the audio coming through the sound system and not the TV.

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

As far as i'm aware yes the cable is bi-directional and if you connect it to a DVI port you can then connect that to HDMI TV but remember you will still not get sound through HDMI in that setup unless your laptop SPECIFICALLY supports sound out through DVI (not all do.)
