HDMI to VGA no audio

As soon as I plug in my HDMI to VGA converter I now lose audio from the computer / video. It was working fine last night so I am not sure what changed. Haven't done anything affecting audio settings.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and I've installed all updates received since I bought the laptop on 3/18. Is there a special setting I need to work on to resolve?
Many thanks!!!

Hi @Zullyfra ,
Thank you for your inquiry.
I grasp that when you connect your HDMI to VGA converter you loose the audio from the computer video. It was working fine previously and you have not changed any settings.
When you connected the first time was the notebook on or off?
You may want to try connecting both devices first and then turning on the external device first and the notebook last.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Connecting a Monitor, Projector or TV (Windows 8)
Good Luck!

HP HDMI to VGA Adapter

I bought the HP HDMI to VGA adapter to use on my Windows 8 ultrabook. It does not work and nothing shows on the second monitor/ projector (reminas black as if no signal is received in the projector). I have tried all the usual tweaks and I know how to connect to a second screen.
Is this adapter not compatible with Windows 8? if so is there a fix that I can download to get it to work?
It was very embarrassing to try and use this in a corporate presentation and it failed.

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:
http://www.amazon.com/BestDealUSA-Adapter-Converter-Laptop-NoteBook/dp/B007PLL4CK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8...
Connect the projector and use the Windows key at the lower left of the keyboard and the p key at the same time and it brings up a "projector" console that lets you easily switch from laptop to projector to laptop + projector.

HP Slate 500 and HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA)

The specifications page for the HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA) (Link) doesn't list the HP Slate 500 as a compatible device in the campatible products list (Link).
Do these two products work together?
What VGA resolutions can I project using this cominbation of products? Am I limited to 1024x600? or 1024x768? or does it support displaying higher resolutions?
I'm thinking about making a purchase but I don't want to get the adapater if it isn't going to work.
Thanks,

HP Smarttouch 15-n006ed with H4F02AA (hdmi to vga adapter) possible?

Hi all,
A few days ago I bought a notebook (type '15-n006ed'). When i got home, i noticed the notebook had no VGA-output. I bought the notebook for school and i need to connect it with the beamer (i'm a teacher) so i need an hdmi to vga adapter....
I found information about an adapter from HP on the internet, but my notebook is not in the list of compatible devices. Is it possible to use the adapter anyway or is there an alternative for it?
The type of the adapter is: H4F02AA
Thanks in advance!

Apple TV - HDMI to VGA

I just bought an Apple TV 2 and am trying to hook it up to a VGA projector to Airplay stream my mirrored iPad. What is the best converter from HDMI to VGA?

There are certainly some that will defeat HDCP but strictly we're not supposed to mention them - in any case i've never used one so couldn't give a recommendation.
It's really frustrating - the paying customer gets their usage curtailed to prevent them copying - something I'm sure 99.9% of customers would not have the time or interest in doing - those who want to distribute illegal copies will find ways of doing so beyond the capability of home users as many of these outfits will be criminal groups with resources to match. When you think about it why would a consumer want to waste time and energy producing an inferior lossy analogue copy of digital media which they would have to record in real time then potentially convert to an appropriate media format later. No, in this day and age the person who wants an illegal copy will find a software solution to rip a disc, buy a pirated disc or get an illegal download. Win, win, win for those who don't pay, but a hole in your wallet if you do pay and limited usage options.
In the days of vinyl audio I liked to own my albums - CDs have little similar value to me in their physical presentation and merely clutter - what we really need is for all the media companies to get together and offer subscription based eat as much as you can music/video/films/games via the internet at a REASONABLE monthly price. Won't be perfect for all where internet is poor, but the studios are so behind the times when it comes to providing what the customer wants and can easily be delivered.

Ps3 : hdmi to vga on dell lcd monitor

i recently bought a ps3 and the only place i can play it in is my dell monitor in my room. i bought a hdmi to vga cable and it didnt work and i tried holding the power button until 2 beeps. do i need a converter, new monitor or a new cable ? my monitor is dell e176fpf monitor.

The first reply was accurate. HDMI (and DVI) are digital and VGA is analog.
There are many cords on Amazon and Ebay that claim they will work (its a scam, and a brilliant one at that).
you would need an active converter (if you want audio)

If you were able to convinve yourself/parents to spend a wee bit more money you'd be much happier with this.

Mac mini (Mid 2010) which is better HDMI or VGA ?

I'm getting a Mac mini (Mid 2010) and a Samsung - 23" LED Monitor that has both HDMI and VGA inputs. What would be the best way to connect them ? I've only had iMacs, iBooks and a MBPRO.

If the monitor has speakers HDMI would be the best choice, as you will get audio to the speakers through HDMI. VGA is video only. A VGA connector is usually provided on HD monitors so that they can be used with computers that have a standard VGA connector and no HDMI.

Detect HDMI or VGA connection

Dear forum members,
Out of some reasons, I want that one of my LabVIEW programs runs only if the laptop is connected to my audio and video system via HDMI. The program shall give a warning or similar if the laptop is connected to the audio and video system via VGA.
So, is there any way how I can detect if the laptop is connected via HDMI or VGA?
I would be happy about some feedback!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
The idea is great. Unfortunately, I have different laptops which behave differently.
One changes the display size the other not id I connect them to the HDMI wire.
So, I cannot really use the All Monitors Application for detecting if there is a HDMI or VGA connection.
Meanwhile, I also think that I will build in my program some dialog in - this is easy and will work for sure.
Anyway, Thanks a lot - I learned something ;-)

VGA adaptor audio connection howto?

Audio is not going to my VGA monitor but stay on my iPad2.
Howto to make the stero audio goes th my monitor and audio system?

The audio input you're talking about would be the input for an external microphone.
To connect the content input up to a SX10, you need to connect it to the HDMI input port.
If you want VGA and Audio, you'll need to use another adaptor to convert the VGA and audio to HDMI to feed to the SX10's input port..
Something like this EXT-VGAAUD-2-HDMIS or VGA-HDMI-ACTV.
Alternately, you could use a different endpoint, such as the Cisco SX20 which has the seperate DVI and 3.5mm Audio input sources for connecting your content source.

Keynotes + iPad2 (AirPlay) + AppleTV + Digitech HDMI to VGA Converter.

Hi,
I am going to buy a iPad2, Apple TV and DigiTech HDMI to VGA/Component and LR Analogue Audio Converter, which I want to connect to my data projector in my classroom. AirPlay on the iPad 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10nfcwTHbIA
I want to use Keynotes, and mirror iPad Apps onto the projector.
I will provide various students with iPad2 devices and let them interact with the lesson as well.
Is this possible with Keynotes, and is there another option to regarding the connection to the projector?
At this stage I need to buy a Apple HDMI Adapter ($39), Apple TV ($129), and HDMI to VGA converter ($149). So $319 to get a wireless connection to my projector.
Does anyone have other options ?
Kind Regards
Sean Udal

I believe the only devices you need to achieve a wireless iPad 2 mirroring experience on a display is an Apple TV 2. When iOS 5 comes out in a few weeks the iPad 2 will have full bore wireless mirroring using the Apple TV 2. The Apple TV 2 outputs an HDMI signal so if your display has HDMI inputs you're home free. However, you like me (I am also a teacher), have the nasty problem that our classroom projectors only accept a VGA input (probably composite too). That Apple TV 2 is sending an encrypted HDMC signal to your projector via it's HDMI cable. So, you need a HDMI to VGA converter that can overcome this encryption. I just bought a HD Fury 3 HDMI to VGA converter that has a chip in it to deal with the HDCP encryption. Sadly, I just hooked this system up in my classroom and it doesn't work. I posted this information in the other thread you started asking about this same issue. One of our school's tech personal is going to see if he can resolve this but I am not optimistic. There are many posts in other forums that claim great success with the Fury 3. If anyone has some insight regarding this I'd love to hear it. My projector is a new Epson short throw projector. It cost somewhere in the range of $1600 - $2000. Sorry, can't remember the specific model off hand. Anyway, even though it has no HDMI inputs, it is not a cheap projector.

Does the pavilion x2 support hdmi to vga (d-sub) output?

I purchased a display to connect my laptop to. However, the screen only supports d-sub input, and my pavilion x2 only supports hdmi output. I looked into purchasing an hdmi to d-sub chord, but I found that your device must support hdmi to d-sub. I would like to know if this is supported

Hi, HDMI to VGA is from digital to analog. You need a proper coverter, simple HDMI to VGA cable won't work. http://www.jaycar.com.au/Sight-%26-Sound---Home/AV-Switchers-%26-Converters/Converters/HDMI-to-VGA-%2B-Stereo-Audio-Converter/p/AC1724 Regards.

Need to split video signal to both HDMI and VGA

I am hosting an event and the venue has given me a really tough challenge. I need to send a video signal from my Macbook Pro 15"(the highest spec, latest model) to a projector that only accepts VGA and to an A/V system that only accepts HDMI(this A/V system broadcasts the signal to several flatscreen TVs throughout the venue). Here are my two ideas, can anyone tell me if this will fail and if so, are there any other solutions?
Idea 1: Use a mini-display to VGA adapter, split the VGA cable with one VGA cable going to the projector, and the other VGA cable going through a VGA to HDMI adapter to the A/V system
Idea 2: Use a mini-display to HDMI adapter, split the HDMI cable with one HDMI cable going to the A/V system and the other going through an HDMI to VGA adapter to the projector
Idea 3: Rent another projector that accepts HDMI, use a mini-display to HDMI adapter and split the HDMI cable, with one going to the projector and the other to the A/V system(this is the most expensive option and I want to avoid this if possible)
The event is tomorrow evening, and I need to buy these cables today if possible. Would love to hear any ideas, thanks!!!

Yes. All video and audio outputs are always active.

HDMI to DVI with Audio for Input to an Old Sony TV

Just got an Apple TV box for Christmas. Apple TV output is HDMI and I have an old Sony Plasma TV that DO NOT have HDMI but it has DVI with Audio (L & R) inputs. I can buy a HDMI to DVI converter cable for about $10 but how do I get the sound from the Apple TV to my TV? Thank you much

You have two solutions -
Solution One - the way i did it was with a digital auido to RCA convertor - try here for an example http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B0074JZ8ZW
or
solution two

Both work but there is a cost and a bit of work.

I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404
