No Sound via HDMI

[whataguywants]

Hi Alban,

You are right. I removed the jack and sound was redirected to the Sony amp. It is a bit frustrating that I have to remove the jack each time I want to change the audio source but better than changing the HDMI ports I guess.

Thanks for your help. Dell could have made it clearer in the instruction manual.

Cheers.

David,

You might be able to use the audio out phono/RCA plugs under Video of the Sony receiver, provided you wish to have the same sound on the speaker as what is playing on the receiver (= Not have PC through speakers and DVD through Sony receiver).

I believe the privacy setting is a hardware switch when you insert the jack, so I can't give you a settings to ignore it.

Kind regards,
Alban

I have the opposite problem with speakers.
Running Logitech surround speaker system thru Dynadock USB 3.0 and Samsung monitor
connected to the Dynadock via HDMI. All fed by HP Spectre notebook.
I get audio on both the logitech speakers and the monitor speakers.
I would like to disable the audio on the monitor but nothing seems to fix this.

Hi Ezza,

That's what Toshiba designed the dock to do and unfortunately this is not configurable on the PC as this is handled in the dock itself.
The solution you have is disable audio on the display itself. If the display doesn't have the HDMI audio off but has a jack, you can usually insert a dummy jack to switch the display speakers off.

Kind regards,
Alban

I have the same issue where I have no sound via the HDMI.

I only have a single monitor connected via HDMI; I don't have anything else connected to the other display ports or audio jacks.
