Connecting Laptop via HDMI cable to Samsung LN46A650: How do I get the audio to come through using this cable?

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

Also make sure that the media player software is not open when you connect the wire to the laptop. I was facing an issue that the audio wouldn't switch over to the TV if the media player software was already open when connecting the wire.

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

I figured out a/the solution. When you plug the sound cable into the sound jack for your computer you also need to plug an auxiliary cable into the audio out port which is located on the same side as the hdmi out. Once you have plugged the aux cable into that end you need to look for the PC/DVI audio in jack on your television and plug it into there. Once you have done that the sound will go through. Hope this helps.

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways. Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

Hi Eddie.I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great.Greg

It actually depends on the video card. Radeon 5000/6000/7000 series will carry audio over hdmi. The laptop most likely had the capability to display but not pass thru audio. I'm not too sure on which nvidia cards do it

plug the 3.5mm jack into the headphone output on your laptop and then plug the other end of the 3.5mm audio jack into the audio-in on your tv. hope this helps

I had same issue and got this cable--it works great connecting my laptop to TV.

You must have a DisplayPort output on your laptop (not all have one). The opening is just slightly larger than a USB port and has one rounded corner. If you do have a DisplayPort then the video will be output to your HDMI input on your TV, but note that this cable will NOT carry audio to your TV.

Hmm, I've never had problems with the audio connection becoming "lost" with an HDMI connection before, so I can only assume that you may have a bad HDMI cable. If you don't mind an HDMI cable, then probably a cheaper solution is to get another HDMI cable and see if you still have the problem. Otherwise, I would be kind of worried about your laptop HDMI connector. You might want to use/borrow another laptop to see if you have the same problem. In any case, I have tried 5 different laptops (Toshiba, Dell, Apple (Air Mac), Sony, Lenovo) using the Aries and have outstanding success (easy connection, etc.). However, these laptops worked just fine (originally) with an HDMI cable - we just got tired of tripping over the cables all of the time.

I answered not sure if the answer came thru... any I have a 6300 Samsung w/ sound bar and Mac mini i have an audio out adapter w/ Red and White line so I use the cable that came with the Soundbar. All three are plugged into the back of the unit and only the red/white in the adapter then into the Line Out so Mode is set on Line N THE TV IS SET ON TV speaker. Should be able to find audio out cable. I got mine at Sears (BN39-01154G) try radio shack or amazon. Speaker works great for iTunes or the Smart TV. Good luck.

Check your settings and make sure audio output is set to displayport or HDMI instead of computer speakers.

Did you change the audio settings to HDMI OUT? You will need to in order for the audio to go to HDMI.

HDMI carries sound, audio cable not being switched. You need your audio to come from HDMI input.
