HDMI sound. Pavilion DV6. Windows 7. TV sound was working via HDMI. Now switched off?

I connected the pavilion dv6 to the tv with an HDMI cable. Sound and vision were working on the tv after setting the TV to HDMI.
My Grandson discovered that their was no sound from the computer and, unknown to me, changed something to get sound from the computer speakers which stopped sound from the tv.
How do I get sound back to the tv via HDMI. How do you switch from computer to tv sound and back ? can you have both at once ?

Hi Malcolm,
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.

  • My address bar does not autocomplete. Running Windows XP and it was working but not now. How do I start the autocomplete?

    My computer crashed and it has been restored. I am running Windows XP and I did not re-install Firefox Aurora after the computer was restored with new motherboard and HDs. All of my software works, but the autocomplete does not. Firefox remembers my username for logging in and my password. It is just the autocomplete. I have to completely type in the website name. When I open the History and Bookmarks window, there are no entries. The yellow star in the address bar also does not work. When I click on it, nothing happens.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    How do you switch output sounds   set to my external monitor that is connected via HDMI. 

    Hello gail from Ajijic,
    If you'd like to change the audio output of your Mac, you can do so by accessing the Sound preferences in your System Preferences.
    Before you start, open the Output pane of Sound preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound, then click Output).
    Choose a sound output device
    From the list of sound output devices, select the one you want to use. All sound output devices available to your Mac are listed, including the computer’s internal speakers, devices plugged into your computer’s sound port (), USB speakers, and AirPlay devices.
    For any device plugged into the computer’s sound port, choose Headphones.
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your computer’s sound output settings
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built-in speaker not working

    Need help on hp pavilion dv6-3151sf built in speakers not working but can hear sound using the headphone. Is there a service manual on how to replace or check the speakers?

    Hi there @JINGDOMS 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    In answer to your question about the service manual, there sure is, and I am happy to help you with this.
    You can find it on the support page for your model, or just use this link: HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide.
    Within the service guide you will find the replacement instructions for the individual assemblies, and also the part numbers.  I would start with just checking the connection to make sure it is good, and if there is still no sound from the speakers, you can also try this page as well, before replacing the part.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    If you determine that is a faulty speaker and you want to get replacement parts, take a took at this page:

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 Beats Audio Sound issue

    Hi-
    I am using HP Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 and has Beats Audio installed.It is about 9-10 months old Couple of times in the last few months, the sound just screached and then the volume on the speakers went down tremendously. I have-
    1. Confirmed that the latest drivers are in place
    2. Confirmed that all audio setting options are set right
    3. Confirmed that the device is working correctly (Through device manager)
    2-3 weeks after the first such instance, the sound came back normal without any setting changes. Now I am facing the same issue-
    1. Sound is very low on- Speaker, headphones and HDMI output
    2. Sound is very low on- Skype, Yahoo messenger
    It appears to be an hardware issue- if anyone has encountered such issue or know of any potential solutions, please share it.

    Thanks for getting back to me with that information!
    I've got a couple of things for you to try. 
    First, try updating to the latest BIOS version F.1C. Download and install F.1C. Your computer will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and test it for sound issues. If you are still having the problem, move on to the second option.
    2nd Option You have the latest audio driver version 6.10.6381.0 installed. There are two versions listed on your driver page which means some units may work better with one version or the other. Don't make any changes to the BIOS version you just installed, but roll back to the earlier audio driver version.
    To do this:
    Open Device Manager
    Expand Sound, video and game controllers
    Double-click on IDT HD Audio
    Click the Driver tab 
    If the 'Rollback' button is enabled, click that and restart the computer.
    If the 'Rollback' button is not enabled, click Uninstall, do not restart the computer 
    Download and install 6.10.6345.0 offered on this link and restart
    Let me know the results when you get a chance

  • No sound on LCD TV when Satellite A200 is connected via HDMI

    The problen is: I connect notebook (A200) to LCD TV (Philips) by HDMI. The video is OK, but sound stay on notebook not in LCD TV.
    May be the problem is HDMI 1.2 does not support sound and video together? Only 1.3?
    Sorry for my English

    Sound should work with every HDMI cable as far as I know. Have two of them, one with HDMI 1.3 and another one, which I don't even know, but I guess not the 1.3 standard, as it was pretty cheap.
    To enable sound via HDMI you will have to go to control panel - sound. There select the digial output device as standard. Make sure you have closed the media player or any program which has sound output before. Then start player again and sound should now be heard through TV.

  • Copy File Fails during Recovery on Pavilion DV6 Windows 7

    I need help!  I have a Pavilion DV6 with Windows 7, my hard drive died so I bought a new one, it is just like the one that died.  I ordered the recovery discs from HP  When it gets to 98% on the 2nd disc I get the following message
    Copy File Fails

    I have done this several times but it just comes back.  I tried turning it off and starting over with disc 1 but it just does the same thing again.
    Can anyone help me please?

  • HP Pavilion dv6 All 4 USB ports stopped working

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.
    Could anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1350sl - USB ports does't work!!

    hello,
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1350sl (bought in Italy, with Windows 7 Home Premium).
    Today I formatted my laptop and installed Win 7 Ultimate, however, the USB ports are not working anymore.
    I used the drivers contained on HP's own site, but I still have the problem (HP drives Italian).
    In Control Panel - System - Device, the USB port is with a yellow exclamation mark (but is energized, tested it with my cell phone).
    What can I do? Will I have to reinstall Win 7 Home Premium?
    I need help! tnks!!!

    We do not know what drivers you tried to install. Is the Win7 Ultimate a legitimate copy? I would try uninstalling the usb hub as a device and reboot to see if you can get the driver to reload properly. Your laptop does not have usb 3.0 so actually Windows 7 ought to have a good driver built in. It is also important to have the Intel chipset driver installed:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloa​dIndex?softwareitem=ob-79070-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&​...
    If the usb ports were working before the format, then it is very, very unlikely the hardware has failed and it is almost certainly some problem with the OS install.
