Connect Computer to TV With HDMI With AUDIO/Sound

This video will show you how to connect your computer to your television using an HDMI cord. You can use a PC to display audio and video on your TV and watch your favorite videos, movies or simply browse the web.
I ran into a situation where I was unable to hear any sound from my TV speakers. I was also getting this error message that said my AMD HDMI Digital Output was "Not Plugged In" when it clearly was. This caused the HDMI playback device in sound options to be "greyed out" and I was unable to select it and set it as the default device.
Sometimes updating your sound drivers, or rolling them back can fix any glitches you are having.
After connecting the two devices, it is not uncommon for you to have to restart your computer for Windows to recognize the HDMI output.

Thanks!

Finally! The other videos were just not explicit enough! Your enunciation is clear and can be understood very well. Great job! (it's the teacher in me-lol) Thank you so much!

Well.. I can't hear what hes saying since I have no sound. Rip.

Thank you very much for the straightforward and simple explanation I was looking for. Your video was extremely helpful and informative. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Brilliant genius: weeks of trying everything, including paying for a 'professional' visit ...who knew there was a right click function on the 'playback devices' screen showing that wretched silent TV. Took 30 seconds. Thanks Jay, you're tops.

I click "playback devices" and it isn't even showing my LCD TV/HDMI connection. So now what?

[handytoohue]

Great demo. Thanks. Wish more people would teach as well as you do.

if it doesn't work for you and when you right click on the volume thing on the screen, go to sound settings and go to the output audio pull down bar and hit the display option/your tv.

SWEET! Thank you, Mr. Jay! Glad your info is still out and useful, five years later.

Nothing worked until I found this video! No one has mentioned anything about roll backs and that fixed my problem! Thanks! :)

[laurieleverington]

Perfect! Exactly what I needed in clear, straightforward instructions. Thank you very much!

[emmateh]

I tried everything and my HDMI input still says that the device is not plugged in :(:(

[keina]

You just saved my job! i was doing a training and was wondering why the hell it wouldn't play. I popped a mentos and found your channel.

[zacariaspapadakys]

[solomonmiles]

GOD BLESS YOU!  5 hours I tried everything.... losing my mind even watched your video 4 times... nothing until I took your strange advice to rollback the drives....THANK YOU SO MUCH!  works perfect now!  :-)

Hi Jay, I left my husband this week and I have been struggling with getting my Netflix to work on TV using my laptop. I have tried several YouTube videos tonight and yours was the only one that did the trick. I guess I don't need my husband anymore. Thanks ☺

[markjpe]
