Sending your laptop sound over HDMI

FERDY CHRISTANT - JAN 15, 2008 (08:34:14 PM)

Go!

Forgive me for being a noob, but I was quite surprised to find out that after connecting my laptop to our TV by HDMI, the TV would display the picture, but not play the sound. Since HDMI carries both the video and audio signal, I expected this to work automatically. I was wrong. The solution is to explicitly set the audio output of the laptop to SPDIF:

...and reset this setting once you disconnect HDMI. With this working, the sound now also plays on our surround set, the Philips HTS8100. The result is superb, especially since I can know use my laptop as a HD player. While I'm at it, here's another beginner tip for Full HD TV owners. When you try to project your laptop's screen onto your TV and notice that part of the desktop is cut off, don't panic. The problem is that most laptops have a screen ratio of 16:10 instead of the 16:9 that your TV probably uses. The solution differs per TV but on my TV (Philips Aurea) all I had , to do is to set the input type of the port that I use for HDMI to "PC". The TV knows how to do the rest and display the laptop screen as a perfect fit.

Also, can you give the specs on your TV? 1080p? DLP? COMMENT FERDY : MA 10, 2008 - 08:21:30 AM Y Christopher the solution is a TV setting. The TV has a range of inputs and per input you can set which device you have , connected to it. By setting it to PC, the TV is sm enough to fix the problemitself. art The Aurea is 1080P .

If you are having problemwith the screen size if you scroll through the adjust options (16:9, 4:3 etc.) you should find a scan or auto which will m it the correct size. ake COMMENT BRAD : BETTER solution: Rather than setting TV setting to "PC", where that would distort the picture to fit the screen: Change your desktop resolution to an output ratio that fits your TV (1920x1080 for 1080i or 1080p) As for the HDMI audio, I'mhaving problem getting the 5.1 audio to work. Its going HDMI directly to an awesoemreciever s (Pioneer Elite), yet when i play videos form atted with AC3 5.1 audio, it's only sending stereo channels. I thought to try the Sound settings, where i can tell Windows m speaker setup (laptop speakers, stereo, 5.1, etc) I select 5.1, but it doesn't seem y to do the trick.
