In anticipation of watching a couple football games on the internet (prior to MOAP2 being salvaged), I've been messing with hooking up my laptop by HDMI cord to the TV. I can get video on the tv, but sound stays on my computer. That won't be good for paks. Also, how do I make it so it fills the whole screen on the tv instead of being cropped a proportional amount on the sides, top and bottom. Sony everything.
Saul, feel free to come over and make this so.

Maybe call up one of those kids from best buy? Hear they work wonders.

I just got some speakers that hooked up to the headphone jack in my computer to fix the sound problem. Not the best fix, but definitely the easiest. Don't remember what we did about getting a better full screen. Sorry, Trim.

I could get an audio cord to go from the computer to the stereo auxiliary jack, but I thought the HDMI cords were supposed to work for audio too. They do on everything else.

run the yellow cord to the side jack, should be good to go.

HDMI carries video and audio, as well as HDCP identification. Monitors are 16:9 resolution while most laptops are 16:10. So you should not have a problem filling the screen. May have to go into settings on pc and change resolution.

If this means I should be hearing audio coming out of the TV when I've got the HDMI cord connected, then it's broke.

Messed around with the zoom on the tv, not the computer, and got it filled.

Yes, could be broke. Also you will have to adjust volume on both PC and monitor. So if volume is all the way up on monitor, double check that it's not all the way down on PC. Just like iPod to Auxillary input type of thing.
-
Do you have an audio link from TV to sound system? A lot of systems get audio from the cable box and not the TV.

definitely overqualified to be handling this.

I rarely use the stereo system with the tv. I've got HDMI running to the tv from the cable box, the PS3 and the blu-ray. All of them make both audio and video come out of the tv. I've got an audio cord running from the tv to the stereo so that I can kick on for extra sound for games/movies.
I've got it to work at the moment by using the HDMI for video into the tv, and using an audio cord with little headphone-type jack on one end and the split red and white bigger input things on the other running into the auxiliary on the stereo and getting my sound out of that. I'll either need to get really long cords of each type or get a wireless keyboard so I can bbs simultaneously.
Or Captain Crap can make some things happen to where K-StateHD.TV plays on the PS3.

Not all computers (or OS's) support audio out through HDMI
If your computer supports it then make sure you check the correct audio out option in settings.
If none of this works, you can borrow my mac. :gocho:

Trim, I had this exact same problem.
I connected my laptop to my Plasma using the same video cable that you'd use to hookup a projector to your laptop.
To fix it, I got a male-to-male (i.e. penis looking end of plug to penis looking end of plug) headphones cord and connected one side to the headphones output on the laptop an the other end to a hole on the back of my Plasma that said "PC In."
The other suggestion in this thread about running the laptop male-to-male headphones cable to external speakers (like the ones I purchased at ChiCat birthday pak) would work for you as well.
Go cats.

I guess my Sony Windows 7 doesn't support HDMI sound. Wouldn't know what settings to mess with even if it does. Have found workaround, but you can bring your mac to the pak if you want.

I see that vagina hole on the back of my tv, but it's associated with the computer input (like the video input for a computer monitor) which I'm not going to eff with. Connecting it to the stereo auxiliary jack and using my surround sound is working. I missed ChiCat's pak. Shouldn't have. Go Cats.

I'm currently using a wire that has on one end the penis part of your top picture and on the other end the dual cocks from your bottom picture. Only problem is that it's pretty short. I'll either get a longer one, or get the extension thing that's in your first pic. I have plenty of the 2nd pic if I do that.

Maybe a stupid question but when plugged in to the hdmi cable (Pc to tv) have you tried to click on the sound mixer icon and checking if there was a new 3rd or 4th slider for HDMI Out?
EDIT: also try Control panel>Hardware and sounds>Sound> Then on the playback tab see if there is more than one option (On mine there is Speakers and Digital output)>If so click The Digital output one> Click through all the tabs and make sure all the settings seem correct.

Just tried both those, nothing.

By the way, great advice out of everyone here. Even though there's a few extra wires than I planned, I will have KSTATEOHDTV on my big screen when needed. This is the kind of instant help I knew goEMAW provided when I sent wildfratcountry here when she couldn't charge her computer.
-
Was there an option for digital output? If so you can try clicking it then clicking set default
A quick google tells me that if all the components are sony than when plugged an you should have a Sony tv option and you should set default that
-

Not that I saw.

Just do what I did. Get a $500.00 desktop and HDMI that bitch to your TV. I use it for music and watching espn3 and other videos and whatnot. Sounds like you have to plug in a lot of cords to get that thing to work on your TV.
-
model number of laptop?

I'm still using the HDMI cord. There's only one extra cord I have to use now for audio. I already bought the wireless keyboard/mouse so I can just set the laptop up by the tv for these rare situations and work everything and bbs from the couch.

Sony VGN-NW150J. Came with Vista but put Windows 7 on a few months back, which did make some hardware things a little wacky. Saul could explain better.

Didn't work. Kind of seemed like it isn't installing all the way. I'm saving the downloaded file and running it, agreeing to its terms, and then after saying it's preparing to install, it just kind of goes away. There wasn't a point where it said it had completed installing or anything to show closure. Still no audio w/the HDMI.

right click the file... then "run as administrator" :dunno:

That's what I'd done. It goes through the stages and gets to the part where it says "Installing; this may take a few minutes". Then the box goes away and nothing happens.

If you get the driver to work, you're probably going to have to go into the speaker settings and select the speakers eventually, as described above. I did this with my desktop, and it was a pain to figure out which speakers needed to be selected...and then it still stopped working after a Windows Update. Seems like maybe HDMI audio is not very well integrated in a lot of Windows 7 systems just yet...

Sure, may or may not work but worth a shot.
-

lol, yeah. If Saul gets it, great. Otherwise, really not too much extra wiring to hook it up the same way I plugged a portable CD player into a stereo 20 years ago.

jdagg might be in the right area to fix this. I've done this with my girlfriends laptop (Sony). If you have the sound/speaker icon in your task tray (bottom right), right click on it and go to Playback Devices. You should have options for Speakers/Headphones, Digital Output Device (HDMI Out), and possibly others. If you don't have the HDMI Out option it's probably disabled. If it isn't listed, right click on one of the options or a white area and choose Show Disabled Devices. It will then show and you can right click on it to Enable it. If it doesn't show then it's probably a driver issue. If it is listed you might try right clicking on it and choose Set as Default Device. Try connecting to your TV then and see if you have sound.
It could be a lot of things, but the above is where I'd start. Or just have Saul look at it.

i have my 24" iMac hooked up to my 52" tv through HDMI via the Mini DisplayPort adaptor
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kenable.co.uk%2Fimages%2FMini%2520DisplayPort%2520to%2520HDMI%2520adapter.jpg&hash=2c404ed46cc2b39bdcf45f44239b56f5b901e290)
since Mini DisplayPort exports video only, i also have the aforementioned penis-to-penis 3.5mm from my Mac's audio out port to my receiver's audio in port.

While it is kind of a pain in the ass to have 2 cords running out of the Mac, (HDMI to TV, and 3.5mm penis to Receiver) this does allow me to watch tv/play video games/whatever while i listen to music on my mac through the surround system.
Dr. TH, how do you get your Mac to export sound through HDMI? aka, which port on your Mac do you have your HDMI hooked up to?
