PC connected to TV........no sound on TV.

Hi folks,

This is the first attempt to watch a movie playing on PC. I connected the PC to the TV via an HMDI cable. I have no sound coming out from the TV's speakers. I would like some advice on this please.

Hello barbarossa,

You have to go into the sound control panel and make hdmi the default sound device, and make sure you have all graphics card drivers installed

LOL, that was easy. Thanks a lot DustSailor.

I don't have the HDMI output. Can I get it somehow ?

What do you mean? Your graphics card doesn't have HDMI ports but your tv does? Or do you mean the graphics card isn't outputting a signal?

You can get an HDMI to DVI adapter, but then the sound wouldn't be able to travel down the line, you'd have to connect through the audio-in/out green port.

That or a new graphics card that does support it

This is my graphics card: Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M (1024 MB)

Sorry, I should have checked your system specs. You'll need an hdmi port or an adapter, as I've mentioned

Hi carwiz,

Yes I do have it. I am going to try to figure it out today.
