Getting sound out via hdmi

I use an Envy15 on Windows 7 Pro. When I hook up my laptop to view a DVD via HDMI, I get the video onto my TV set, but the sound is produced by the laptop speakers rather than my soundbar. I looked in the Beats Audio control panel to adjust a setting but could fid nothing relevant there. Any ideas?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, Nvidia or Intel.
Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.

I have installed an ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.I have 2 high Definition Audio Controllers in Device Manager, One has an exclamation mark with message
" This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."
What do i need to do to get this to work ?
Thanks

The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
Kind regards,

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

Can't get sound out of safari

hey all,
i am not able to get sound out of my mac?! And thats only on Safari. I cant watch any videos now! please help.
thanks in advance

Hi
I'm far from an expert on "sound" issues. I believe OS X's sound file is designed to be functional for 16 bit sound files, not 24 bit. 24 bit sound file offer enhanced sound quality, but are larger in size. Perhaps not yet practical for web sites.
explaining the difference between the two settings.
Thanks for the green star.

[SOLVED] Connecting my guitar to my pc and get sound out?

I have a guitar and a cable that came with the game Rocksmith for ps3. The cable is a regular guitar cable with a usb out. Is there any software that I could use to get sound out from my pc. When I connect it to my pc, it recognizes my guitar as a microphone. I searched and all I found was some $500 windows software. Thank you for all the help.

If you have a decent sound card this might work for processing the guitar sound, but I haven't tried this myself even though I have the cable. It basically depends on what is put out through the usb cable. You might want to install some audio recording software, treat the input as a microphone and see what is being captured.
However, it is probably a better idea to connect the guitar directly to the sound card with a regular cable (through a mixer or with an adapter). The translation process in the cable will very likely only add latency. A bit more information about what you are trying to accomplish will get you better answers :-)
I just wanted to get sound out of my computer because I have no amp or any money to buy one right now. I have some nice computer speakers and thought that the cable might work since it is a usb. I'm not using my ps3 because it broke or else I would just use my tv. But thanks for the idea. I'll keep looking around.

Only getting sound out of one spea

Okay, so a while ago my speakers crapped out on me and I could only get sound when I used headphones, which was something I tolerated for some time. But now, just recently (after I got a high-speed internet connection, actually), I can only get sound out of the left headphone. Can anyone give me some assistance here? According to the device manager, I have a Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V...so I'm not sure if I have a Sound Blaster AudioPCI or a Sound Blaster PCI64. Anyway, I tried installing the drivers for the latter, but it didn't help anything. What's the deal, anyone? Does it sound like a sound card issue, or is it perhaps my speakers?

EverclearFan,
Did this soundcard come preinstalled in your computer? If so you will need to contact your computer manufacturer for support as the card may be OEM. OEM components are often modified from their retail standards and require special drivers that only the Vendor will have access to.

When i have my headphones plugged in i only get sound out of one side

when I have my headphones plugged in - I can hear out of both earbuds when on a telephone call, but when I switch to music I only get sound out of one ear

There could be 2 possibilities: the earphone cable to not completely seated, or the earphone connector is defective.

How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic? I cannot hear my instrument tracks either. It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them. If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals. I'm sure there's a simple solution.

Hi
Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.

Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

Getting Sound Out of Classic

I just got a new G5 and installed Classic. Now I can't get any audio from any Classic apps or from the OS itself. I noticed I don't even have a "sound" control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange? I seem to remember having one when I used this same setup with my G4. Do I need to download any drivers for my soundcard? What if I just want the sound out of the computer output? Any help is great!

I think we've identified the source of your problem... assuming that you mean that you can't get sound out of OS X.
I noticed I don't even have a "sound"
control panel in Classic mode. Is this strange?
No. You should have a few sound-related items in the Extensions folder (Sound Manager, SoundSprocket Filter, Speakable Items, Speech Manager, Speech Recognition, perhaps a few others) but there needn't be any sound-related control panels.

I had other sound stuff in my System Folder left over from the days when that System Folder was on a beige G3. The absence of those items doesn't seem to matter to my iMac G5. When I set up the iMac G5 I generated a completely new System Folder instead of just copying over the old one. What's in that folder now is what Apple thinks should be there to run Classic, plus the items MSIE drops into the System Folder because I did a test run of MSIE for Classic just to see if it still worked. (It does)

Only getting sound out the right side speaker

Just this morning, I realised that I am only getting sound out the right side (built-in) speaker on my iMac 24 inch.
Any ideas as to why/how this is happening. It was working fine last night.
Do I have to take it in for repair??

thanks- yes that was the answer!
god knows how i altered the setting. must have been a keyboard short-cut and i did it by mistake...!

Can't get sound out of imac

I am a musician and am trying to mix down some tracks off of a hard disk. I have a hard disc recorder and a mixing board that i am running into an M-audio Firewire solo. I have the signal flow going into the firewire solo and then into my mac. when i click on the system preferences and go to sound I have the fire wire solo as the input and the headphone as the output. i see good signal coming into the mac but can't seem to get any sound out of the mac. the headphne out is hte only thing I see as an output which i have selected. please help - I cant hear anything!!

.. It can't be an m-audio issue when i have a great input signal could it?? ..
with my humble experience of 20 years with Macs - no, that is not neccessairly a (computer's) logic conclusion ..
as said, I just have some know-how with iM/camcorders... and we do experience some same 'effects', e.g. 'cause camcorder is import-disabled, as many Euroepan devices are ... or, we experience control over camera via firewire but no picture etc.pp.
different approach:
are you able to use your devcie with other apps, e.g. Logic, Grarageband.
it is an audio-interface, I assume, you're using in mainly for ... ehm, audio.

2010 Mini and LPCM out via HDMI

Any way to get audio out via RCA or 3.5mm jack?

I am interest in using AppleTV in a section of a fitness studio that I own.
The room has a pro audio A/V system with sound inputs via Bluetook, RCA or 3.5mm earphone jack. The 2 TV monitors are daisy-chained and receive inputs via HDMI.
However, if I want to have the audio portion of an AppleTV program played through the sound system, I need to feed audio into it using one of the inputs noted above. This isn't a problem with a Mac or iPad because I can use both HDMI and 3.5mm jacks to accomplish the goal. I could just turn up the TVs, but that isn't a great sound option given the setting and the other equipment.
Is there any way to jury-rig an audio output that works?
Might I be better off using a sling box to an iPad or a Macbook? I am already paying for cable TV as part of my Xfinity plan.
Thanks,
Scott

Something like this Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter ... from Amazon will do the trick.
