• my laptop won't make sound when plugged into my tv

my laptop is a HP ENVY 15 and whenever i plug my laptop into my HDTV via HDMI the sound goes no sound at all from my laptop or my tv :wtc:
Well first, does HDMI carry sound? I think it does. Well most TVs don't have an audio in (:frown:) so you couldn't do that. Did you check all the ouputs?

Thats not true at all. @OP Go to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound then hit Sound. In the playback list what is the default playback device set to when the computer is plugged into the TV via HDMI?
By audio in, I meant like a computer's audio in, not the big red and white port things. I wish our TV had an audio in.

And HDMI from a laptop usually doesnt support sound (depends on the GPU) You have to enable sound via the normal front autput in the vonfiguration screen.
Still feel like we're thinking of two different things. I mean this (sorry, but I don't know how to make it a thumbnail):[img]http://www.ust.hk/itsc/classroom/notebook/photo/pc_audio_out.jpg[/img] And I feel you mean like this:[img]http://www.cable-trader.co.uk/images/items/RCA_AUDIO_SWITCH_BACK.JPG[/img]
