External HP Pavilion 23xi monitor cuts off laptop audio

I want to use my HP Pavilion 23xi monitor as an external monitor for my laptop (Sony Vaio, Windows 7).  The laptop only has an HDMI connection, so I used an HDMI cable to connect it.  The HP monitor works fine, but when it is connected, it cuts off all audio output on the laptop.  There is no sound from the internal speaker on the laptop, or from the headphone connection. 
If the HDMI connection automatically takes over the audio output, surely there should be at least a headphone socket on the PC?  I can't change the connection type, as the laptop only has HDMI for an external monitor.  Is there any configuration change that will fix this?
This question was solved.

Hi,
As you mentioned, the HDMI sound may take over sound, disable HDMI sound may help. Pleae try:
Right click the speaker icon
Select Playback devices
Right click HDMI sound and disable it

  • Hp Pavilion 23xi monitor brightness in bottom right corner is darker then the rest of the screen

    Since yesterday the brightness in the corner in the bottom right is much lower then the rest of the screen.
    How do I fix this?

    Hello @PieterVdw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that the bottom right corner of your HP Pavilion 23xi monitor is darker than the rest of the monitor and you are seeking assistance in fixing it. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
    Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
    Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
    Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
    Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
    Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
    If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. If it does I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.

  • Pavilion 23xi monitor - problem with screen going blank

    Hello there, Recently, the screen on my 23xi monitor started to go blank after some usage (the time varies).  When this happens, the power light on the right corner of the monitor remains lit, however the power button doesn't do anything when pressed.  I don't think it's my computer putting it to sleep, since I've already checked my power settings for that, as well as the ones on the monitor's OSD.  The only way I can get a video image back is by unplugging and replugging the power connector located on the back.  I've had the monitor for only a year and a half.  Any ideas? Thanks!

    Is there any fix for this please as the exact same thing is happening to me. I've had the monitor 1 and a half years, and for the last week, on either VGA/HDMI/DVI, and connected to either my PC or games consoles the screen will effectively freeze after a given period of time (always after around 20 mins or 30 mins of use). The power light stays lit and can't be switched off, the only way is to unplug from the wall, which is very annoying. According to HP website the 1 year warantee expired in June 2014 so I am not sure what I can do to get this resolved, but a monitor should last more the a year and half, all my other monitors are 3-4 years old and still working.

  • Monitor cuts off wireless

    This is a weird problem. Say Im running Xp on my macbook. I have an external DVI monitor hooked up to it. However, my wireless connection is very flaky. It would slow down after a few minutes and disconnected. I have tried reinstalling the drivers, etc. However, when I disconnected the external monitor and used the macbook screen, the wireless connection is fine. Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks
    P.S. I dont have this problem when using OS X.

    I might suggest you post your topic in the Boot Camp forum. Your issue may not be specific to the MacBook and folks in there may have had more Windows-specific experience.

  • Lost power adapter HP Pavilion 23XI monitor

    I recently moved, and I think I may have misplaced the AC adapter for my monitor. I tried searching online and I can't find the model number of the AC adapter, and there don't seem to be any replacement AC adapters for sale.
    Can someone please help?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi randomguy123. If you want to try searching for the AC Adapter, you should try the part number "C3Z94AA" in: HP PartSurfer. It looks like the power cord is available or purchase (possibly), but not specifically the AC Adapter.
    If you cannot find what you are looking for, you should contact support to see if they can find you the part you are looking for.  HP Technical Support, North America 1-800-474-6836. For all other regions click here.

  • Connecting HP Pavilion 23xi to a Macbook Pro late 2013

    I have just bought a HP Pavilion 23xi monitor as an addition for my Macbook Pro 13in Retina Display late 2013 model. I am wondering and needing to know the best way to successfully connect them both together. Please note I am using the pre-release version of the OS X Yosemite, if that makes a difference which I hope it doesn't.

    Yes, I see now. The model number did not register in the old mind correctly.  The  Pavilion 23xi uses D-Sub, DVI, HDMI for connections.  I would recommend the DVI, which means you need " a DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)"  copied directly from the Mac webpage HERE

    what's wrong with my monitor? do I need to bring it back to the dealer

    Thank for your reply

    Hi pachmati,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you monitor is experiencing some quality issues, and I would be more than happy to help you!
    Since the monitor is producing the same problem on different computers, I recommend using this document on Display Quality Issues. This should help in not only localized pixel formations on your screen, but in other areas of concern as well.
    If you still see some grids with red coloration, please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl

  • IPhone cuts off audio randomly

    In the last few days my iPhone 4S will be playing a song or podcast and randomly cut off the audio from either speaker or headphones. The song continues to play in the I phone but no sound comes out and I cannot make it start again, just decides to do it itself. It seems to go better while connected to my computer but still happens. I tried restoring but chose to restore from back up so as not to lose my contacts etc maybe I should fully restore? Anyone know what it could be?
    Really bloody annoying and it seems to be interfering with the lock sounds which has randomly come on and off just today.

    Yes. Call failed. Call failed Call failed. Constantly. I'm pretty sure it's iOS4.

  • T400, External monitor displayed off center.

    So I have a Lenovo T400 with the ATI/onboard switchable graphics. When I plug it into my external monitor with the onboard graphics enabled, it displays correctly. When I have it connected with the ati graphics enabled, it displays off center and cuts off the right 1/5 of the screen. If I have my external display at a lower resolution, it works like it's supposed to.

    Yes, the product number would be helpful.  Please don't provide the Serial #, however.
    I believe your problem may be that the monitor is not compatible with Win 8.1.  The only updates that are available are for Win XP and Vista.  You can find this information in the link that I provided under the section titled "Software Update".

  • External monitor hooked to laptop keeps going "dark"

    The screen on my laptop cracked and so I have hooked it up to an external monitor HP 2009m via VGA.  Laptop is HP Pavillion dv6 with Win7 home premium with all current updates.  After I have been working for about 30 minutes, the monitor keeps going off and I have to hit the power button which usually brings it back, but sometimes I also have to use the source button to cycle back to an active monitor.  The "power lockout" shows up occasionally and sometimes it just refuses to stay on for more than 30 seconds.  I have used the factory reset, have held the power button for 15-30 seconds and unplugged it but it still keeps happening.  I have disabled OSD and sleep and everything else I can think of.  Starting to suspect it is something coming from the laptop, have never seen anything like this and scoured forums for simliar problems/solutions (hence the holding power and factor reset items I have already tried).  I am starting to suspect it might be Netflix, although this seems odd, but it definitely happens more often if I am listening to Netflix in the background. 
    Anyway, I will reboot and it will be ok for awhile.  Actually, until I start watching netflix again.  Any other ideas?  Driving me insane.  Can I just get the monitor on my laptop fixed replaced?  Thanks in advance for any ideas. 

    you can check in power option and monitor options too

    you will see the list on the left column and you will find monitor options

  • MacBook Pro versus Monitor Pavilion 23xi

    Hi,
    Just bought a Pavillion 23xi monitor for my Macbookpro 13inch retina, connected with HDMI to HDMI.
    First thing can't find a driver software to MAC OS ? 
    My laptop reconize the monitor but no image on the monitor, having pop ups with speeping mode..
    Hope to find a solution very urgent

    Hello tcs20,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment. This and other information on connecting your HP Monitor can be found in the HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver.
    For further assistance with this you may have to contact the Apple Support Forums. Thank you for posting this issue on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • External monitor shuts down laptop

    Hey All,
    I've got a weird problem that just came up. I've got a 17" external Apple flat screen monitor that I got off of eBay about 4 months ago. I bought the Apple DVI to ACD display adaptor and have been using the external as a second screen when I'm editing video and authoring DVDs. Everything was great until two nights ago when I plugged it in and all of a sudden it caused my laptop to shut down almost immediately after I connected it to my PowerBook (17" - about 1 year old). I checked it on my older 15" PowerBook and the same thing - shuts down right after plugging it in. I finally checked it on my even older G4 desk top and there were no problems - stayed on and didn't shut down. I've tried just about every variable - plug it in when I boot, plug it in after it's warmed up, charger plugged in - not plugged in, you name it, all of a sudden after 4 months it just stopped working with my laptops. Any suggestions would be grateful as I do alot of editing and the external monitor has made my life much easier because of the added real estate. Thanks in advance-
    17 Powerbook & G5 iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    either you could try different adapter with your monitor - if it does not work, it's the display.
    or you could take laptop and adapter to the store and ask them to connect it to different monitor - if it works like that, adapter is probably ok.
