    Sound Coming from Laptop As Oppose to Monitor?


    Have dell xps 15 9550. I have 2 monitors connected to my laptop. One via hdmi cable as always and one that is a usb c to hdmi cable. Previously i only had one monitor connected and it was with the hdmi to hdmi cable.


    I notice that when i play sound, the sound is coming from my laptop. First off, do ppl prefer this or having sound come from monitor. Because it definitely doesn't feel right coming from the laptop. I did go to speakers and settings because i recalled last time i changed where the sound is coming from through that. But when i do this, there is speaker/headphone and the second choice is my other monitor that i use that is connected via usb c to hdmi cable. Is there a reason the monitor via hdmi to hdmi isn't shown? Previously i had just changed it from speaker to that and then sound came from the monitor.

    If you (temporarily) disconnect the USB monitor and then see if you can set, or the PC automatically sets, HDMI as default audio playback device.

    Another thought. In the Playback panel, RIGHT click to see Disconnected or Disabled Devices and see if that gives you the option for the HDMI direct connected monitor.


    Finally, I notice on the Dell downloads there are only drivers for Win 10 and Win 8.1. Using Win 7 may also be an issue.

So, I hooked up an HDMI cable to my monitor and enabled it and set it as a default device, but no sound is coming out of the TV. I don't know why this is happening. Currently, I'm playing sound out of my speakers. I got a screenie as well.
I have a sony vaio VGN-FE890 that is not playing any sound. I see the sound meter bouncing up and down as if it is wanting to output sound; however, nothing is coming out. Even plugging in headphones does not work. I have given the laptop a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate 32 bit, played...
