Laptop to HDTV via HDMI Cable

[sm100378]

Hi,

So basically I am here asking for help about connecting my Dell Inspiron 1525 to my HDTV via HDMI. My laptop has an HDMI output and my TV the input. Up to a week ago (before my recent reinstallation of XP Pro) I was able to simply connect the two devices via one HDMI cable and watch movies, access internet, etc.

The issue I am having now post reinstallation is that I receive the video from the laptop but the audio plays out of my laptop and not the HDTV, which it did before.


Can anyone please recommend something I might not have done that this is happening? I have exhausted my thoughts on why.


Thanks so much!

Well let me point out the most obvious possible problem,

Are your drivers all up to date.

You will have to set your audio output to digital out/SPDIF to get sound over HDMI.
