Many users use their own TV as a monitor by connecting their computer to the TV with an hdmi cable. Quite often, they have a problem related to the lack of sound on the TV.
Connecting a computer to a TV using an hdmi cable
Connecting your computer to your TV to play your favorite game on the big screen or watch a movie is a great idea. To do this, the user will need directly a computer, TV and hdmi cable. In fact, there are no problems with connecting one device to another. It is enough to connect the cable to the computer and the TV, turn them on and select the hdmi section. This completes the connection procedure, but what if after connecting these devices the sound on the TV disappears (or comes only from the computer speakers)?
How to solve the problem with no sound on the TV?
Perhaps, many people have encountered a similar problem when trying to sync these two devices. First you need to find out the cause of the malfunction. First you need to check the audio playback device on your computer or laptop. Quite often, it happens that the TV connected to the computer is not used as a sound reproducing device, which means that it needs to be configured as the default device. This is done as follows: you need to right-click on the sound icon, which is located on the taskbar in the lower right corner and select the item "Playback devices". In the window that appears, all playback devices will be displayed, including the TV itself. Next, you need to select it and right-click, then in the context menu "Use as default". After confirmation, the TV should be used as the default audio output device.
Sometimes the TV may not be displayed in this window. Do not be afraid and panic ahead of time. If your TV is not displayed in the window or has the "Inactive" status, although the hdmi cable is already connected to both devices, it is enough to restart the laptop or computer with the hdmi cable connected. When the PC starts up again, go to this menu again. The TV should appear in the window and become available for use. Otherwise, you will need to download and install special drivers that can be found on the official website.
If the problem is not resolved, try checking the sound on the TV, it may just be turned off. The problem may lie in the hdmi cable itself. For example, the wires in it can oxidize or be damaged. In this case, only a new hdmi cable can solve the problem.
