I want to watch a movie on the LCD tv. so i use an HDMI cable to connect my laptop. but the sound of the tv is not good. moreover, it has no sockets for audio output. is there any way that I can keep audio output within the Laptop? any programs? thank you!Please give more details.
On my laptop the sound comes out of the laptop even when I have the TV hooked up. How does yours work? What model?
this is HP Pavillion DV6. windows 7 64 bit.
i connect to the tv thru an HDMI cable as an EXTENDED desktop. so i RUN the movie using VLC on the tv screen. the sound automatically comes out of the tv and not from the laptop. based on what i know, thats one of the purposes of HDMI cables. but is there any way around it? can i maintain the sound back on my laptop?and i dont know if this matters...
i think i dont have a separate sound card. i have not modified hardwares in any form. this comes with beats audio. the device manager says IDT high definition audio codec and Inter(R) display audio under the sound video game controllers. Right. HDMI does the sound over the cable so it makes sense to turn off the laptop sound. Did you CHECK the HP site to see if there is an option to keep laptop sound?
Some people have no sound at all! Look at this:
