I want to run HDMI from computer to TV, but I expect computer sound to come thru TV spaeakers also. One review says he couldn't get this to work.

I'm not an expert or anything like that, but on Windows 7 if you go to the Control Panel and click on Hardware and Sound (the green fonts), then under Sound (green fonts) there is an item called Manage audio devices (blue fonts). Click on that and it gives you a Sound form. Under the Playback tab select E322AR and click on Set Default. Click Apply or OK. Then you should get computer sound through the TV speakers. At least it works with my setup. Only problem is, when you want sound to come through the computer speakers and headphones, you have to go back to the Sound form and set Speakers and Headphones as default.

That's dependent on your computer's graphics card. Most new computers have motherboards that support this feature out of the box otherwise you might have to get an after market graphics card to be able to get both audio and video through an hdmi

You need to confirm that that the audio on your computer is set to your TV speakers (external). Without knowing what type of computer it is, you may have to add a new driver so that your computer works in sync with your TV sound.

You could always try plugging the other end in. Otherwise just make sure in your sound settings you don't have "internal speakers" selected. You want the sound output going through the HDMI cord. Hope that helps.

if the tv has a usb connection its more than likely for a computer connection I have not personaly tried a computer to tv via usb but a computer to tv via hdmi cable will send sound to the tv worth trying if your dying to use this speaker setup but i can tell you with all the adio equipment avialable to check in to somthing more sophisticated suck as a sound bar wich is more user friendly and or maybe invest in a sound converter

I connect the HDMI output on my computer to the J-Tech and send one output to my receiver and the other to my TV. Works for me. Switch back and forth generally w/o any problems. Very rarely I have to reset the switch by just unplugging and replugging the HDMI cord from my computer. The HDMI output on my computer does not transmit sound, so I can't comment on this aspect. I use the computers' coax and optical outputs for audio.

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.

This adapter will allow one to use a "regular" HDMI cable between the computer DVI output and the TV HDMI input. Note: the computer DVI output only contains video and therefore no sound will be carried via your HDMI cable.

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.

It won't work for sound. the VGA signal is video only, no audio. I tried to use mine for a video connection from a DVD player with component out to a TV with a PC/VGA in port. It didn't work either. Apparently it's a one-way cable from from VGA out to component in, and I've since read that's only if the device with component in will translate that VGA signal to component. ...basically, this cable was a waste of money.

it will let you switch from a DVI on your computer to HDMI on your monitor but you will not get sound if your monitor has speakers

I play my projector thru my computer. My computer is capable of surround sound. I just tell it to pump the sound out thru the computer instead of the hdmi.

yeah but its just a monitor so there will be no sound coming from it. you have to use an external source for the sound. oh for the hdmi you can just buy a $5 adapter from walmart or some other place. disregard my last comment!

not at all; this is only good for video output, and predates HDMI which carries sound as well as video. You must have the sound carried by another source such as a sound card output from the computer for example.

I would assume so i used it from my laptop hdmi port to a old DVI only monitor fuctions great. But like everyone else has said DVI does not transfer sound.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways.Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

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.)

I would think so, but depends on whether your computer can output audio through MiniDisplayPort. Try to configure your computer's audio output (Control Panel, Sound), run a test directly from there. Try to play video on the computer (e.g., youtube), see if you're getting picture but no sound, even with all the appropriate controls set correctly.
