Laptop to TV: HMDI Cable Audio Trouble

When I've tried to hook up my laptop to the TV through a HMDI cable, no audio was transferred.
Through Control Panel, under Manage Audio Devices, I made sure the HDMI was set to default but still no audio.
Whenever I would right-click on the HDMI device and click Test, a message would appear saying "Failed to play test tone".
Can someone help me please?

What outputs does your laptop have?
This is like me asking you what kind of oil my car needs without telling you what car I have

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

    What is it you are trying to do? They do make usb 2.0 to HDMI adapters which will give you an additional monitor through an HDMI port but the performance is only good enough for web surfing and spreadsheets and such. It is even a bit challenged for online video like youtube or netflix. If you wan to run demanding games through it, no.

  • Why wont my laptop acknowledge my iphone cable?

    Why wont my laptop acknowledge my iPhone cable? i have a Medion laptop (so no not a mac etc) but i recently broke the screen on my iPhone 5S and subsequently i cannot back the iPhone up to my laptop as when plugged in to 1 of three various USB ports it does not acknowledge the cable.
    thanks.

    thanks!
    i did try it before when the iphone was usable and it still did not work, ive just tried it with my ipad and ive tried various cables but still no result. im thinking it will be something to do more with my laptop itself, maybe something to do with its setting, is there any ways around this?
    thanks! :-D

    Hi @coributler20 
    Welcome to the HP support Forums!
    I am happy to help you with your audio troubles. Firstly please  post the full product number. See the following:
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Without that, I can give you some more general help that may work. If the sound was working before, then what I would try is a system restore to go back to a known good configuration.

  • AV Cable Connection Troubles

    I just received the ibook AV Cable (plugs into headphone port at one end and has red, yellow and white connectors at the other) for Christmas and was very excited to start using it but I am having troubles connecting it. I connected it to my vcr (my tv doesn't have the red, yellow and white ports needed), set the vcr to "line in" and then connected it to my ibooks headphone port... but... all I got was the audio. I feel as though I should be telling my ibook to change displays? but I tried going into the display setting under system preferences and I got nothing. The package of the cable is totally void of any instructions, so if anyone has any suggestions I will be forever greatful!

    Good Evening:
    After reading your post about your AV worries i thought i would give you a little info on how the Video Out works with your ibook G4. The ibook G4 comes with a built-in Mini-VGA port. The device that is needed to connect to this port is as follows:-
    Apple Video Adapter
    Use a video adapter cable to connect the mini-VGA video output port on your iBook, eMac, or iMac G5 to any S-video or Composite enabled device.
    The Apple Video Adapter was specially designed to allow users to connect to S-video or composite video devices. The video adapter cable plugs into the video output port (mini-VGA) built into the back of the computers listed in the compatibility section below. The video output port supports VGA, S-Video, and Composite video out. Use the Apple Video Adapter for S-Video or Composite video output only (connect to your TV, VCR, or overhead projector's S-Video or RCA (composite) cable). Use a separate Apple VGA Adapter for VGA video out.
    Compatible With:
    iBook without an external reset button, eMac, iMac G5, or 17-inch iMac (1GHz) with mini-VGA port.
    Part Number:- M9109G/A

  • Audio trouble with my Satellite L675

    I am trying to use team speak for an online game but when I connect my speakers get disabled and cant hear anyone. Also when I connect my HDMI cable from my HDTV to my laptop my computer speakers play instead of the tv's. I think I may need to re-download audio drivers but not sure so please let me know what you think. Thanks

    The computer is not putting out the sound to the device you want. Go to Control Panel (Classic View) and click on the Sound icon. You should be in the Playback window. Right click on the HDMI output selection and use the left mouse button to choose this as the default output. The little white circle with the green check mark should appear next to the HDMI selection. Finally do an FN-F5 so that all of the video output is going to the HDMI TV set.

  • Pavillion 15 n097sa laptop. L and R audio coming through both speakers at same time.

       Hi, so basically, i have just upgraded to this 15 n097sa laptop (new to me) from my old aspire, and it is sooo much better.
        Only, I have just noticed that when either left or right sound is coming out of both speakers at once. i noticed it whils wearing headphones. the left definitely comes out of the left slightly more, and the right as well respectively, but they still come out of both speakers quite a lot.
         To make that clearer, the left only channel is coming through both speakers at once, instead of just the left speaker. And the same for the right channel.
       i have only done a real test on youtube stereo test videos, the same i tested on my old acer before, which came out of correct speakers.
    i have a dts sound, whatever that is, and it could be down to simply changing the settings, but i don't think that's it.
        Does anyone else have or have had this issue too?
    I know i am a pc simpleton, but please go steady on me, ta.
    win 8.1 pro  .
    please, and thank you very much indeed, Sofa.

    Hi there @SofaQueue 
    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.
    I understand that you are having trouble with the audio balance on your notebook computer, and I am happy to help with this. First I would suggest reinstalling the audio driver.
    Try this link which will automatically start the download of the driver to your notebook. You will then have to run the file to install it. Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    If you are still having trouble, check through this page; there may be something within that could be useful.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8)
    Also you can look at these pages - from Microsoft's support website:
    Poor sound quality after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Let me know if you are still having any problems, and post the details of what is happening.

  • I can't get a picture on my toshiba tv when I connect it to my Mac Book Pro using an HMDI cable

    In 2010, we bought a MacBook Pro 7.1.  We also bought an HDMI cable that connects directly to the MBP’s mini display port and to the HDMI port in the TV.  The TV is a Toshiba. We made the connections and selected the correct ports and got nothing on the TV, except a “no signal” message. The Display window on the MBP recognized the Toshiba TV. We tried the same hookup with a different TV (Phillips) and we got video (no sound) on the TV with the same mini display port to HDMI cable. We borrowed a mini display port to VGA adapter with a VGA cable. The adapter also had a separate audio cable that connected to the TV’s audio port. That worked.  We got both video and audio on the Toshiba (but the video was not HD). We connected my Kindle Fire HD to the Toshiba using an HDMI cable, and that worked.  We got both video and audio on the Toshiba. So, we proved: - the mini display port works  - I can get video from it to the Toshiba with a VGA adapter - the mini display port to HDMI cable works – I got video through it from the MBP to the Phillips - the HDMI port on the Toshiba works – I got video / sound from the Kindle and its HDMI cable What do I do to get video from the MBP to the Toshiba using the HDMI cable I have?

    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 
    Read the tv user manual.  I have a Toshiba which has detailed instructions for tv to comp hookup.  If necessary call Toshiba.  Especially, if you are still under warranty w/them. 

  • How to I have one iTunes library that enables me to keep my music on my laptop, and my podcasts and audio books on a separately mapped hard drive?

    I'd like to enjoy ONE iTunes library on my laptop, which isn't big enough to store all my content, so I'd like my single iTunes library to have a LOCAL drive portion for my music, and then - when I'm at home, have my iTunes library be able to ALSO include a large library of podcasts & audio books.
    I currently have TWO iTunes libraries - a big one on a big drive at home, and a not-so-big on on my laptop.   This is, of course, a nightmare, because I have to resynch my iPod to use one or the other.    
    Ideally, I'd like to transfer content from my home PC iTunes OR my laptop iTunes - to my iPod and iPhone.     But I can only use one or the other library.     So, I guess the next best thing is - how to do this? - have an iTunes library on my laptop and then, when I have access to my home network, be able to see additional iTunes content - books and podcasts.    I need this in order to transfer books etc. to my iPod/iPhone, as well as music.
    Any suggestions?      In this regard - Windows is way the heck easier to manage than iTunes.
    thanks
    Jim

    Use your computer's backup to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link, or do the same with both computers networked in some fashion, which shouldn't be hard to do if both computers are connected to the same wireless network.
