Sometimes the audio comes out of the TV, sometimes only out of my laptop. It's so damn frustrating - can anyone help?

I've also had that to happen. Even with this HDMI it's not the fault of the cord I've found but usually with the file that I was trying to view. That's been my experience.

To test if it is the cable, try another cable even if it is not the preferred length. If your TV has more HDMT ports try all the ports. If none of those salved the issue, try another TV on your laptop. One of those should narrow down where the problem lies. Hope things work out for you.

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.

go into the sound options on your computer (which you can access in your control panel) then set your sound default as HDMI, might fix your problem.

Using it with cds there is a delay creating an objectionable echo. This would translate into out of sync visual and audio from tv.

This sounds like a tablet problem. If it works fine with laptop and cell phone, but the tablet has low sound out, you should test the tablet out with other speakers/headsets to isolate problems.

Without knowing a lot more about what you are connecting, I can only offer things to check. It worked out-of-the box for me. Check these: Is the 3.5mm plug into the computer headphone jack, is that volume all the way up and selected as the playback device? (Plug a set of headphones in to make sure). Not knowing the TV for playback, it seems you can see the image, yeah? Check that the TV is set for internal speakers, audio set from HDMI and the volume is up. These are things you might have already tried, including a different computer/TV setup. Lastly? Try a different adaptor although I'm leaning towards an incorrect setting on the computer or TV.

Joseph-This will happen if the computer you're using doesn't support audio pass-through via DisplayPort. Check your model to ensure compatibility. Alternatively, if your model is compatible, ensure that your TV is selected as your audio output device (on a Mac, in System Preferences, Audio, Output).

It sounds like you did everything correct. Try other ports on the TV. My tv has PC, HDMI 1 and 2 and when I have my laptop hooked up to the tv I have to use the HDMI 2 setting. Good luck.

What instrument are you using? Is that a PC/Laptop ? Then my answer is your settings on the system which you need to do with. I am using my LED TV and have no issues at all. Everything is smooth and the other party envy the picture and sound clarity it gives out to them.

This could be several different things. The most likely culprit is your sound card... if you want to get rid of it it for good, buy an audio interface.If you already have one, then I would make sure you have good shielded cables.

Not sure but what may be happening is that you have accidentally turned on the TV sound rather than the sound system. The TV still goes through the HM(whatever) but not the audio

Like Peter said, not all TV's bridge the sound from an hdmi in to a stereo out(digital/coax etc..) Try using a different output port, or going hdmi to the stereo, and then hdmi to the tv

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 would first check the cables, whether they are plugged in correctly. Though it may seem silly, check on volume and muting. Go to settings in the TV and make sure the audio is set up correctly. If all other options have failed, You may have a problem with the TV itself. Should be under warranty!

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.

While the audio out on your tv works fine, I've found that you get better sound if you plug it directly into the audio out jack on your desktop set. (assuming you have cable or satellite tv.)

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.
