Hello bay12 pc helpers !

I have a Sony vaio and I'm projecting to a asus monitor with a built-in cam and built-in speakers. Image is working but the sound comes from the laptop. I'm running windows 7 x64.
:/
the hell is going on? (hdmi)
In the sound options there's just the speakers default device.

thank you in advance!

Check for disabled devices under playback devices and see if it was turned off accidently. Also make sure your video drivers are uptodate as they control if audio is passed through.

Thanks Tellemurius!

I've checked the disabled divices and nothing appears. The drivers are uptodate (checked via device manager).

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Device manager doesn't check very hard. As in it doesn't seem to check at all. When searching for drivers you generally must do it yourself by going to the manufacturers website. Do not rely on Microsoft for 3rd party support like GPU drivers, only for the bare minimum that might nt even work then.

[pondicherry]

Oh.. thank you!

I'll check it, right now.

before going through all that trouble, have you tried this?





See if any video card output is listed there. I have an nvidia card, so I have 3 nvidia outputs, each one corresponds to one monitor plug on my card. If one is listed there and plugged in, set it to default.

[pondicherry]

yes... nothing but the laptop speakers.

So my ADSL1 connection has been consistently dropping out over the last nearly two weeks. It's done this before, then stops for a significant period of time; the last time it occurred was in February. I replaced the router with a spare one a mate gave me, which mitigated some of the issues of the dropped connection (this router manages to actually get the connection back without either crashing or restarting), but it's still occurring multiple times per hour.

Last night, I tried to access a 25MB PDF for uni studies, and it failed 36 times before I finally got through.

Given the problem has persisted across routers, is it likely that the line is just fucked? The house itself is not old; it'll be 16 at the end of the year.

I detected an issue. This model has a dual-GPU (Intel and AMD), recently I had to disable the AMD cause it was dead . . . then reinstall windows 7. Now I'm not sure If I should download the AMD drivers ... that's wierd right? I'm just using the intel processor.


Thank you for you help.

[Khan Boyzitbig]

Doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Might find that the AMD card actually does work now (depends why it failed). Otherwise you will need Intel's drivers.

[pondicherry]

My AMD fried with the summer heat . . . :/

[Khan Boyzitbig]

That could explain the issue with the audio output. No point getting the AMD drivers if the card is physically dead I don't think. Make sure you've got the Intel drivers then just in case that works.

[Tellemurius]

Oh you have a laptop with dual graphics, those require specific drivers for support. The HDMI audio connection requires the amd drivers to be installed.

My AMD fried with the summer heat, just using the intel.

Thank you for helping me out.

[Rose]

Then it's likely that the intel card just doesn't support hdmi audio.
