Is there a way to get audio out from the hdmi port? Hooked my pc up to my TV but can't get the sound to my TV speakers

The driver package includes the HDMI Audio drivers. You need to set that up in the Control Panel > Sound; as the default device.

That's weird to happen. Sometimes when you hook the hdmi to the tv the sound is missing. Use one of these two options: 1. Reset the PC. 2. Go to sound properties and activate the HDMI. It might be that the PC has it like that and that will do it. Hope that helped.

I used hdmi. Get the latest hdmi because some old hdmi won't output the sound.

Mine works fine. I'd try to reset your computer and/or confirm that the audio out is automatically switching to the display port (when TV is turned on). Win 7 automatically does this (not sure about older OS systems). You may also want to look for an updated audio driver for your laptop.

..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.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

HDMI sends sound to monitor and mine has internal speakers, so it works that way. USB speakers work fine, if you don't have that kind of monitor

If you are connecting your monitor through a HDMI to VGA adapter, it should be one that has the audio split out to an audio jack. You can plug your speakers into that jack.

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

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi. does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

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

I connected my monitor to my video card and received no sound. I used external speakers I plugged into standard port on computer.

Be sure that you are connecting the tv and the soundbar (on the "out" input) with the kind of hdmi cable that also carries ethernet. I wasn't at first and I did get sound but it wasn't right.

DVI doesn't send sound like HDMI. Have to have external speakers hooked directly up to the source. Had the same exact issue, unfortunately had to get a cheap pair of external speakers.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

I use a VGA cable to run my laptop off of my TV. However instead of hooking up an audio cable to the television I just plug in a small set of speakers to the laptop to increase the volume coming off of the laptop. It's really same thing, just that sound comes off of the computer instead. Just a suggestion and another option.

You don't say how you are trying to use the cable. PC to TV? If that is the case, check the sound settings on your PC. You might need to change sound settings from default to external, or possiblly HDMI, depending on type of PC, sound card, etc.
