my hdmi port is on the opposite side of my laptop than the sound/mic ports. Has anyone else encountered and/or solved this? thanks so much!

There are two solutions I can think of. One is to buy 2 "3.5mm male to female audio cable". As of now if you search it on Amazon there one that sells for $4. Or you can buy a HDMI male to female extension cable for $9. The latter is a bit more expensive but it also means extending only one cable instead of two.

I have this situation in theory. I have one side of the KVM attached to a ThinkPad. In practice, I dodged the problem by not caring about the mic and by attaching a Dragonfly USB Audio DAC to a USB port near the DisplayPort port, and the sound goes to the KVM from that.

Hello, if you are using windows vista or windows 7 change your sound output through control panel into hdmi the main reason why there's no sound is because your using your default sound output. (i always change the sound output before using the tv with my laptop)

I called ASUS support and they were super great with helpful information on this. While they supplied many input cords with the monitor, actually only one is actially needed and I think it was the HDMI. I hope this helps you. It's a great monitor.

I had an overscan problem with this set as well with PC to HDMI and the soulution was using the VGA PC input. I know HDMI sounds like a better choice but in this case it is not. With the HDMI port I was only getting something like 1768 x 992 resolution and text was a TINY bit blurred. But with the VGA input I'm getting tne full 1920 x 1080 resolution with no overscan and the images it produces are clearer. Try for yourself!

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Rick, try going to your Sound controls from your "Control Panel" buttons. I recently connected to a TV through my HDMI and I find that I have to manually switch the sound there from "Speakers" (which is my computer sound) to "NVidia Hi-Def Audio" in order to get sound to the TV if I'm trying to watch something on Hulu over there. One annoying glitch though: The switch only allows for you to change your "Default" settings (be sure to hit default if "apply" by itself doesn't work... that's what I have to do.) so you then have to go through the procedure each time you change. Annoying, but workable if you don't have to do it a whole lot. - MJM

I don't understand the question : display port on the laptop or monitor? In any case, this typically creates an HDMI port out of the other standard (display port?) . Can connect a TV too but watch out :sound does not go through.

Yes, just flip the mic over to the other side. I hope this was helpful.Lisa

Display ports Do not Offer Sound they are the Predecessor to the HDMI Cable, sorry Bro :(

Did the earlier answers solve your problem. I would do exactly as S. Berry mentioned. Also, you may try first connecting both pieces together, then insert into the HDMI of the TV and finally to the mini display of the laptop. Sometimes this works only in this order. Then try restarting your laptop. It might work.

I wish I could help you. I'm using it for voice over one end is connected to the computer, the other side is connected to my mic.

As far as i'm aware yes the cable is bi-directional and if you connect it to a DVI port you can then connect that to HDMI TV but remember you will still not get sound through HDMI in that setup unless your laptop SPECIFICALLY supports sound out through DVI (not all do.)

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

Hello,Thank you for asking. There should say HDMI next to the inputs where the cable should be plugged in. We hope this helps. If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know.Regards,Abacus

Hi there... I'm not an expert in the subject, but I think you can fix it by going to "System Preferences" and after clicking "Sound" choosing HDMI in output, so it goes through the TV and not through the computer's speakers. Hope this helps!!!

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.
