Picture but no sound. Running Windows 7 on HP laptop. I read all of the other answers and I think it's set up correctly. Any ideas?

Go to the Sound properties in Control Panel and make sure it is pointed to use this devices audio driver. This was an automatic process when I installed mine, but obviously there is some other variable in your system. Also go to Device Manager and remove the device and re-install, could be an issue with the audio segment of the driver. Shouldn't be this hard to get audio, so if none of this works it may be defective as others have stated. Hope this helps.

Hola, Michael Phelps!The device works great for me in both, my Lenovo and HP computers. They both have Windows 7. Not to be obvious, but I have my sound on mute because I do not like all the beeps I get when I receive a new e-mail or I have an Outlook reminder, so I have to remember to unmute it when I use the laptops to connect to the TV. That's the only thing...I hope this helps and good luck!

Test the HP using earphones. If there is no sound through the ears then it is the HP's problem. Plug in the unit. if no sound, then either your volume is too low on the TV, or defective unit. It is just an audio outlet running through the TV's speaker system.

I had to change the sound source on my lap top when I first hooked up to the HDMI converter. Check your lap top (or whatever device providing HDMI output) and make sure the sound is not directed to the headphone connection (or plug into the headphone jack to check for sound). If it is, you should be able to redirect sound from headphone output to HDMI output. This is what I had to do with my Windows lap top. Good luck.....

Are you connected with a HDMI cable?Remember the standard RGB connector from a PC does not carry sound.

windows 7 in bootcamp has no sound out of HDMI. I bought this for my media center and have tried everything. So far Apple has not provided drivers for it, The sound works great in Apple Lion

Yep. I really like mine. Maybe look at your windows settings? Ensure stereo is enabled?

Pretty simple! Whatever it is you're using, you have to go into the sound settings and set it as the default sound output device. So for PC, go to the Control Panel, Sound, and pick it under the playback tab. Same goes for it not working with any other application like Skype. But changing it in the control panel should fix for most, if not all!Should be listed as "USB audio device" .

did you flip the adjustment switch on the bottom or check to see if you muted the sound. I have not tried the device on my computer but I use it on my tv. hope this helps

..yes, very frustrating. I'm having the same problem and unfortunately we may have to hook up a separate feed from the laptop headphone jack to the audio system. I had understood that you could get sound through the HDMI so this is a pain in the butt.

With the specs of the asus monitor it should work I would try it with another pc if you have that option but 3.5 mini jack is what the monitor has and the hp pc uses that same jack so as long as the sound is turned on everything should be compatible

Almost sounds like a faulty drive. I would try plugging it into a different computer. If it still doesn't work you'll want to return it.

That's odd- I have this same computer (Amazon sent me an email to answer this for you because of it) and I never hear a sound from it. My suggestion would be that if you haven't already, check your CD player for anything- it likes to run disks even when they are not playing. Otherwise that sounds kind of abnormal. Best of luck!

This is on thing I've been having trouble with myself. I have the receiver connected to my home theater system and wanted to play audio from my laptop. I can connect to the receiver with my laptop's Bluetooth, but I haven't been able to get Windows to play sound through It as it doesn't show in audio devices. . I'm using Windows 7 and haven't been able to find any software in the hour I spent searching about it.

I know it didn't work with Windows 7 via the USB. I used the audio out and connected it to the line input of my PC

Plug them into a USB port for power and then your audio out jack - make sure that the volume disk on top of the right one is turned up all the way. if you still are not getting sound, check and make sure that the volume on your computer isn;t turned down or off.

I have an older HP Pavilion laptop that doesn't "see" my onboard soundcard. The USB external soundcard is a soundcard itself, so it replaces the onboard card. It works great on my laptop - simply plug it in and attach headphones or external powered speakers. It won't make the laptop speakers work, so you have to have separate speakers or headphones/earbuds. I don't your PC, but it worked great for me.
