If I connect this cable from a laptop to an HDTV (to view video from the laptop via TV) will the audio come from the crappy laptop speakers or the tv?

HDMI cables transfer both audio and video. So if you play a video the sound will come from the TV and if you like even better get a sound system then you will get great results.I am continously setting a PC mini ITX case connected to my tv to open browser, watch youtube, or downloaded movies from my pc. It gives impressive results.

Hey, thanks for asking the question...I had been remiss in trying sound using MS Media to put a slide show on my Samsung. The pictures I tried came out just as they did on my PC. So just tried playing an MP3 using the HDMI connection to the Samsung TV and on to a Vizio sound bar, works great. Just remember they no longer show up on your PC with the connection.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

Dear Rafa, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cable. The cable will work and deliver Audio out of your TV speakers from your desktop computer as long as your sound card on your computer is capable of doing so. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

My Lenovo is about 2 years old. I connect an HDMI cable into this, then into my laptop and the sound and video come through the TV. The only issue I have had with sound related to my OS setup which had changed when I connected the laptop to a monitor. I simply had to adjust the settings back to what is was before, then the video and sound played through the TV. Hope that helps.

Your laptop probably does not have an audio input like many desktop PCs. Mine only has a headphones / speaker jack. You can plug it into any standard AV equipment with an RCA type plug so long as you have the additional cabling to reach it since the attached cables are only half a foot.

If you're laptop has a dvi port then yes, but depending on the laptop sound probably won't be transmitted. You might need speakers on your laptop

Yes. It acts just like if you connected the laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable. You can duplicate the image on your laptop or use the TV as an extended display. I actually have mine connected to my AV receiver so that the sound comes though my HT speakers and the image is routed to the TV.

Mine works fine. I'd try to reset your computer and/or confirm that the audio out is automatically switching to the display port (when TV is turned on). Win 7 automatically does this (not sure about older OS systems). You may also want to look for an updated audio driver for your laptop.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

I have connected mine to my laptops and then to the TV. I use the 3.5mm on the output end and it works great, however I have used it in two laptops, however the first time I use it the system has to load software for audio in order for it to work, so I could not say for certain, unless your system will recognize it. I hope that this helps

I have only used it to connect my laptop to a larger monitor, so I'm not sure about audio.....but it works like a charm for the monitor connection.

Yes, if you laptop has HDMI port, you just need an HDMI male-to-male cable. If you laptop has a DVI port, you need to purchase a DVI-to-HDMI cable with DVI audio support (e.g. not all DVI cables support audio)

Dear Mediabridge,You are right. I am having trouble getting audio through TV when I connect HDMI to my HP PC with Window7 and 37LG10 TV. I changes audio playback device setting to TV/HDMI default. On testing HDMI audio, it says this device is already in use. Could you please help me to get Audio. Thank you.Regards,BK

I doubt this will be much help, but I own these and have never needed cables for them. Ever. If your computer has the necessary outlet you should be good to go for headphones, etc. My brother owned a set and I saw how nice his sounded and decided then I could really use a better sound speaker for my laptop - I wish they could work with my TV as well! I hope this helped you somewhat. I found these to work very well and they were a welcomed change. Hope you enjoy yours too!

Mine does the opposite, as long as it's hooked up via HDMI cord from the laptop. The audio is coming from the computer. If anything you could run a 3.5mm male to male audio jack from the headphone out to the speaker in on your computer if it's available.
