I'd like to load a few 720p movies onto my E4600 and hooking it up to my LCD TV to watch movies.
Thing is that when I connect my 2.1 speakers to the laptop through the headphone port, the audio isn't very good.
I'm wondering if when I use the DisplayPort (will be using a DP->HDMI cable/adpater) will thet audio quality be the same.
I have a Latitide E6500 with the Nividia Quadro NVS160M graphics card. I'm running Vista Business 32bit. My E6500 vid outs are s-vga and displayport. I use my laptop mainly in my home office and I would like some more real estate, when in the office 1440x900 is just not enough. When looking at monitors displayport does not seem a common input but most have HDMI.
I then looked at monoprice and saw two possible options for displayport -> HDMI, an adapter or a cable. What is the difference between the two and which should I use if I want both audio and video signals transmitted? Or am I stuck using a monitor that has a displayport input?
I recently bought an adapter to connect from the DisplayPort to my TVs HDMI.
My problem now is that the display on the TV becomes black or has blue stripes after every now and then :-(
Now I'm not sure where the problem is (adapter, gfx driver, tv,..)
Has anybody successfully connected via DisplayPort to HDMI?
i was wondering if Apple sell Mini DisplayPort to hdmi, i know there are 3rd party cables for Mini DisplayPort to hdmi but none of them support audio. Mini DisplayPort to hdmi cable that suppots audio?
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday I bought a little 22" Vizio VW22L television to use as another monitor for my W530. I'm using this cable: [URL] to connect my computer to the TV. When I connected it at first it worked fine for about 45 minutes then I just got screen noise (short, multicolored vertical bars moving everywhere). Now whenever I try connecting it I get my computer's display on the TV for a couple minutes, then the screen noise again.
I was wondering what the issue is or could be. The cable seems to work fine. I tested it with a Magnavox television and a different Vizio TV. This TV's HDMI port also seems to work fine. I had my brother connect his Samsung Series 3 to it via HDMI and it ran perfectly well. The Lenovo update utility says all my drivers are up to date, as does Windows update.
I have a Dell 2408 monitor connected to my M6400 via the display port but there is no audio going thru to the built in speakers in the 2408? Has anybody been able to accomplish this. Is this an issue with the M6400's port not carrying audio...or the 2408 not able to pull the audio from the display port

If I use the two DVI ports on the E-Port Plus for two separate monitors, will the DisplayPort carry proper 5-channel audio?
Or, is the only audio output supported by the E-Port Plus the 2-channel, analog headphone port? I'd like to purchase the E-Port Plus with the Precision M4400 and output audio in this fashion.
I bought a Roline DP to HDMI cable hoping to be able to watch HD content in my livingroom and not having to plug an extra audio cable as DP should carry sound too.
When I do the same as on the youtube video, I get the following settings in the control panels: [URL] ....
But there's no sound coming out of the TV. I've tried it on my SyncMaster PC/TV Screen and on my Samsung TV in the living room. On the TV in the living room, the windows audio manager shows the device, but it cannot be selected as show above. It stays grey.
I've got a T420s with discrete nVidia Optimus graphics (Quadro NVS4200M). Driver version is 1.2.19.0 for nVidia HD-Audio and 8.17.12.6696 for NVS 4200M. This information comes from the device manager. I installed my system from scratch and used ThinkVantage System Update 4.
Where the problem comes from? I could only imagine that the cable isn't capable of carrying audio, but that seems rather illogic, does it?
I have a problem with hdmi output to my TV screen.
I have Y510P (i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz, Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
& NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M, Win 8.1 64-bit(6.3 build 9600), all with latest drivers )
My TV is Panasonic TH-L32B6. When I connect my laptop to TV it shows me awful picture quality and notification that “this is not optimal screen resolution for the primary display. The optimal res. Is 1280x720”. But with 1280x720 it’s still awful. It works fine just with 1024x768 res. I have no such a problem with my other TV LG 47LS570Y. How can i fix picture quality with higher resolution? I tried another OS like Ubuntu and a couple of hdmi cables…(see attachment)

The sound quality is junk its as if i am listening to a really low quality audio file all the time this is through the headphone jack. I cant find any settings to fix this in the drivers and if i use a 3rd party eq such as in vlc player it just gets worse.
If I turn the master down to 10% and turn up 3rd party volume the signal distorts at 50% signal on the 3rd party hard core.
I have the latest audio driver...
I'm looking to add more battery life to my laptop by going with a 9-cell. I'm just wondering if there's a market for the 6-cell battery.
If not, I'll just stay with the 6-cell.
I have a Dell Studio 1537, and I reguarly use my TV with my laptop as an extra monitor, and when I plug the HDMI cable in, the audio switches over to the TV with no problems.
However, it seems that whenever I restart my laptop, (even if it was turned off after having taken the HDMI cable out) the audio is being sent through HDMI, and I have to go and change it to the speakers of the laptop.
Is there any way of basically setting the laptop to send audio through HDMI if it is plugged in, and the speakers if not?
i've noticed now, and it's annoying that sometimes when i touch the trackpoint or touchpad LIGHTLY, like just right before.
i use it, it'll register it as a left click and i'll end up dragging things around instead of moving the cursor..
so now i try to plan and leave the cursor at an area of the screen/desktop where it won't select anything.. .
happens maybe 5% of the time, but since i use those pointing devices so much it's annoying. doesn't happen when i have a mouse though btw..
i just got a new HDTV and I want to watch movies in surround through it. Unfortunately, passthrough is not working, only 2ch PCM stereo, I know my sound system can decode it,
it has done it through an old DVD player on optical no problem (monsters Inc DVD)
I got my xps 1530 on monday and I used vista media center last night to record some HD shows. Later on I connected my 1530 to my HD tv and set the audio out to hdmi instead of the speakers. When I played back the show, there was no audio on my tv, but when I started up media center, the start up sounds and the sounds when you navigate through media center played back through my tv speakers. Does anyone know how to get it so the shows sound will play back through my tv speakers?
View 10 Replies View RelatedIv just started using my laptop to output HDMI and iv got a problem with the audio. Iv set the laptop to output the audio and it does work, but whenever a program ends and i open up another one it runs silently, despite me having changed nothing except the program.
In order to get the audio back i have to randomly unplug the HDMi cable, mute it, pause it, unmute it unpause etc and eventually one of these fixes the audio issue
Can anyone shed any light on what could be causing the audio to work sometimes and not work others?
I just purchased a philip lcd tv (42PFL6704D/F7), I plugged it with a hdmi cable to my m1330, image works well, but i get not sound from the tv...
I did a lot of searches, every answer is about set the correct "sound device". I tried everything and had not luck
Any ideas? I can only get Stereo.
This is what I see
Did anyone get HDMI Audio to work with windows 7 on M1530?
View 10 Replies View RelatedFor whatever reason, whenever I'm watching a video or something online, my audio will just cut out for no reason via HDMI. If I leave it alone for a while it comes back
Drivers are all updated, the cable itself is fine (Works perfectly for picture), and the integrated speakers work fine when sound is routed through them.
I have a Dell XPS M1530, and have recently joined the HD Television world and bought a Toshiba 40" 40RV525RZ. I was checking out the HDMI feature on the laptop, checking out how I might be able to use the tv as an awesome monitor replacement. Looks great so far!
My problem is that the audio from the TV is slightly out of sync from the audio on my laptop. Considering I can't turn off the audio on my laptop without turning off the audio on the television (at least, if I can I don't know how), it's annoying having the echo effect coming from my TV and the stereo attached to it.
Ive got an E6400, great machine.

windows recognizes my tv but there is no audio
I recently hooked up my Inspiron to a Sharp 32 inch LCD panel through an HDMI connection. Now, the video works beautifully on it, but I am having some problems with the audio. Instead of going through the Sharp 32 LCD speakers it still goes through the laptops. What can I do to make it go through the Television speakers?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHope someone can help here. Problem is that there is something wrong with my HDMI device. Firstly, when I plug the cable I have to restart the computer in order to recognize the external device. Once I restart I have picture on my TV from my laptop.
But there is no audio. Sound settings say there is no cable plugged. I tried everything, even re-installing win7. Initially when I bought the machine everything was working ok. But now it doesn't. I think that this started when a Dell guy replaced my screen.
Is it possible that this is something software/drivers based or the Dell guy did something bad on the hardware.
I've been using my 1737 to playback movies and downloaded TV shows to my HDTV via the HDMI socket for ages and its worked wonderfully. Suddenly the other day it stopped working and I no longer get an image on screen or sound.
I've got the latest drivers for my (intel) graphics card and the laptop detects 'something' is plugged in as a second monitor (windows 7 even detects its a Toshiba TV, but still no output on screen) so I assume it it working to some degree.
Hey guys, ive been banging my head against the wall for two days on this one and I need some help.
I installed xp on my M1330 over two years ago when I first got it, only ran Vista for about a month.
And ever since I switched to XP I noticed that there was no longer an option to switch to the HDMI output for audio, but I didnt have an HDMI cable so I didnt care
I did a clean install of Windows 7 on my Z590 after upgrading the BIOS to R2170M3. Everything works perfectly but I just can't get any sound over HDMI on my TV. Totally ruins the Windows 7 experience...
I have the NVIDIA 187.35 drivers from Sony installed. When I install the previous NVIDIA drivers for Vista (174.49), I immediately get sound over HDMI. Apparently this is an NVIDIA problem.
i have a DV2 and it supports audio over the HDMI, does the DV3 support this also?

So with this I should be able to output video to my TV right? Does it have audio included?
Has anyone tested this? Any links to cheaper versions then the Dell adapter?
I recently purchased a Vaio VGN-SR390 with HDMI out. However, I'm not getting audio through the HDMI, even with internet content. Is there a setting I've missed somewhere .....
