HDMI Sound

PeterF · 03-04-2011, 18:03

I am trying to play dvds through my HP laptop to the TV which is a LG32L5020 connected via a hdmi cable. The picture is fine but no sound! Interestingly the laptop plays BBC i player through the hdmi cable no problem at all. DVDs play through the laptop onto a Sony Bravia TV without problems which seems to suggest that there is a setting on the LG tv which I am missing although the lack of sound only relates to dvd playing.
Anyone any ideas?

Try a different HDMI socket on the TV. Not all will be full HDMI with audio.

What format of audio are you trying to send to the telly? I would be surprised if it would make any sense at all of a surround sound format like DTS or Dolby Digital. As a result it probably just falls silent.

So maybe setting the DVD to output stereo will get the telly making some noise.

My LG 32LH3000 sometimes does this. Try removing the HDMI and plugging it back in which works for mine..

I suggest you try to plug your cable into different HDMI socket. This will solve your issue.

The audio out from a PC via HDMi has to be enabled via Start / control panel / sounds / set HDMi as the default . all will be ok !
