Since my sound isn't working, I can't hear what you're saying

I’ve been sitting here for an hour trying to hear him

My TV audio isn't even showing up in any of these places. Not even in the device manager or anywhere.

Restarted windows audio service, followed by pc restart while being hooked up to the TV. That worked, thank you very much.

Inbetween me pressing restart and the audio coming back on, it transferred to the tele, hearing your voice come out the tv was a real moment of victory. thanks mate

tried all of these and my HDMI audio to TV will not work. I get video but I cannot get the audio to go to my TV.

Thanks a million. MD Tech, you are wonderful! I had no audio with the HDMI cable connected to the TV. By following your clear directions, the problem was fixed. To hear the music come from the TV speakers made me smile big time. I’ll tell my friends about you. Thank you again for your expertise and your step by step clarity. Happy, happy, happy.

3 years later and the video is still helping. Thanks bruh!

Thanks so much for this! My HDMI was working fine for a couple months and all of a sudden the audio wasn't going through my TV anymore. The "reset sound" worked!!!

Omg you saved the day I was going crazy trying to figure out what was wrong 😑 I thought it was my HDMI cord and I went and found another one, I went on all kinds of RU-vid tutorials didn’t work… yours did the job! Thank you so very much!

So far nothing has worked, but I must say. THANK YOU for being so clear, but also not slowing to a crawl.

Normally laptop troubleshooting videos are hit and miss but this actually fixed my issue , thank you so much!

Restarting Windows audio fixed it for me, thank you so much you wonderful person.

Oh my goodness you are the best. I have searched 3 days looking for a solution for this very problem...you sir are a hero! In a time of uncertainty and trepidation, standing face to face with an unfathomable amount of adversity, when all else failed and complete destruction was all but certain...1 heroic man stood alone and said "NOPE...not on my watch" Ok....maybe a bit much lol Thank you for your video

Thank you so much sir, got my first gaming pc today and was working fine when i tested it but seems after i updated windows the audio wouldnt work through the hdmi but this fixed it instantly

Thank you so much. Once I restarted the service and rebooted the computer started getting sound threw HDMI! At first I was thinking it might have been my video card driver.

Of all the solutions you suggested in this video, the restarting the pc while having the hdmi plugged worked out. Thanks man!

OK, this video is pretty old, but do you have any idea why the sound just stops after random amounts of time? Have the PC hooked to a new 120Hz Bravia (Dual Screen with a Samsung Display on the side), worked like a dream and suddenly started having issues. It's like it loses the "handshake", swapping output makes it work again but is frustrating. Changed cords, changed GPU cable socket (brand new 3070Ti). It's driving me insane.

Thanks no bs straight to point gotta love people like you hope all is good my guy

Thanks for a great video this work for me My Original PC monitor didn't work anymore so I had to use a Samsung TV had a Windows update Where I wouldn't get any sound but luckily this video fixed the problem

I know this video is a couple years old now but thank you so much!

Restarting the service worked for me, nice one!

Thank you - restarting the audio service is what worked for me.

I have struggled intermittently with sound issues between my smart TV and laptop for years, never knowing how to solve the issue. After watching this video, it has been solved. Thank you SO much

Finally done. Helped a lot. Got it working again. Thank you for this video. Excellent explanation too.

Worked perfectly! Thank you for this video!!

Been here for hours and I finally got the help I needed. Thank you

THANK YOU. This worked for me after a restart!!

Restart "Windows Audio" in Services and restart PC once, it worked for me :) Thanks.

Fixed my issue the services and restart windows audio had restarted 3 times and played around but nothing work clicked restart and the film paused when I clicked resume sound was so happy thanks my friend. Whoever has put a thumbs down on here either doesn't understand or know how to do these steps or just didn't listen properly so got annoyed shouldn't put thumbs if someone's trying to help just because it doesn't work for you does for 99%

Had this problem after a big Windows Update for a while now. Restarting the Windows Audio + restarting the computer made the HDMI audio work again. Thanks a lot!

First check from which input port HDMi you are using Motherboard or Video card? !! :) if you know this in my choice of video card I forgot to update the Nvidia drivers and then my TV was connected to PC finally, this is not the first time this happened to me, but with every newly assembled PC I ran into this problem so to conclude update your audio and video card drivers! it can sometimes still happen that you have to change this setting of sound and whether this option is included in the sound source

I wanted to cry!!! Thank you so much!!!! The first method works for me. You made my January 2023 better!

Thank you so much! Restarting windows audio fixed the audio for me

This worked. Thank you for the clear instructions!

This is superb. I got my Oculus Quest 2 and connected it to my laptop via Link Cable, and ever since then my TV wasn't playing any sound when I connected the HDMI cable, and the mute button was locked. I tried a few solutions provided here and there, none of them worked for me, but your video fixed the issue in just 2 seconds. Amazing! Thank you.

Thanks man, I spent all day trying to fix the issue when I could have spent 3 minutes watching your tutorial.. Cheers..

I had the same issue: TV not showing in Sound devices on Ideapad 530S IKB14 + Windows 10. After installing a few times a bunch of drivers, the problem was solved after I performed 2 actions: +1. Uninstall Hyper-V Windows feature: Start -> Turn windows features on or off -> Untick Hyper-V. +2. Reset BIOS to defaults. Not sure what is the relationship between HyperV and sound settings but I assume that an engineer from Microsoft has a strong case for that. Hope this help.

My PC started to ignore the speakers when I connected the screen via HDMI. This solved my problem. Thank you for the straight to the point guide.

Restarting the audio service worked. There was no audio device on the list before. Now I can see my TV. Thx a lot.

Couldn't hear what you were saying, but could still follow along and problem solved. Thank you

Only option I get is RealTek Digital Audio, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, updating drivers, rebooting, nothing is working. Video is fine, digital audio seemingly works (bars move when "test" is clicked), but no option to change it to another audio output like before.

Try rolling back the audio driver and restarting. Worked in an HP laptop with conexant audio driver. The device was having issue detecting the TV as an audio output. It only detected the inbuilt speakers. The underlying Intel audio driver could only handle external audio too. The latest driver of conexant was suppressing the Intel driver. After the rollback, it started working with respect to the output

Wasted an hour and you gave me the fix in a minute and a half thanks man!

Sir. You are a LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU. all the other youtubers made videos like "unplug your hdmi. restart you computer. bla bla bla." you nailed it. short and to the point

Thank you very much! After I restarted my computer this solved the problem!

Hey there! I was wondering if there is another way to do it? I couldn't find the "windows audio" folder :/

Worked! Also, you can do this by going into sound (just type into search), and in the first setting, choose your laptop or PC IF your monitor was selected.

This worked like a charm for me...thank you!

This was super - worked perfectly for me not being able to play sound on my computer has been bigging me all day and this video was super clear about what to do so hell yeah

hey bro that worked to get the aduio from my laptop to projector thanks!

thanks. perfectly fixed my problem quickly and easily

Thank you! The 1st step worked with mine!

I have a headset and I messed with some settings. Now the audio is very low on windows but works perfectly fine on games. I checked my device and it says “audio device not migrated”

Thank you! Finally a solution that works for me

Thank you bro, great tutorial!

Thanks for this.... I've been looking for solutions for almost an hour lolz

Thank you!!! You just made our whole night! :)

nice thank you very much the last thing helped me with the problem

Thank you very helpful. This happens semi regularly to me. Any way to do this by command prompt so I can make it a bash?

Once you are in Device Manager, right click on Audio inputs and outputs and click "scan for hardware changes." This made mine appear.

Thank you! Solved my problem!!!

Glad to have found this video! Thanks so much!

Restart Audio service did the trick! Thank you! :)

PC language: Try updating drivers == I have no idea how to help you

restarting windows audio fixed my problem immediately.. a million thanks! I thought I had to go buy another HDMI cable but that wouldve been a waste. Thanks again!

This helped me! Thank you!

I have a Samsung 2015 model tv. It shows on the devices attached but won't default to it, and always uses the High Definition audio as default. I can use Windoes Audio in services to get it working sometimes, but it always resets when I switch off the PC. Is there a permanent way to make the TV the default audio??

Really helpful Video.. Saved my day, Thanks 😀

It worked perfectly for me. The restart service and PC restart with the HDMI cable plugged in. Cheers mate!

It worked for me. Thank you so much! ♥️

Could you help me? I connect my PC to my tv with an HDMI cable and I can only hear sound from the PC and not the tv what do I do

Helped to me, thank you a lot, mister! 😌

Restarted the service, no difference. Disabled the device driver, re-enabled it in Device Manager, audio came back. I was locked on mute, and could see a audio stream was being received by the volume settings in Windows 10 (equalizer bar showing audio being played). I checked my TV settings, power cycled my equipment, reseated my cables, but in the end, ran the problem troubleshooters, checked the settings and in the end, disabling and reenabling the audio device fixed the mute being locked on.

Thank you for making this video!!

I’m Using A DVI To HDMI Cord. Does That Make A Difference? It’s Not Recognizing The TV So I’ve Just Settled On Using My Little Bluetooth Speaker.

Wow such an easy fix after I didjn't manage to get the sound working on my TV. Thank you!

thanks man. it worked flawlessly

Thank you so much, this helped!

Thank you for the help!

Thank you!

Thank you this video was very helpful

Wow that was easy! Thank you!

Updating through device manager solved it for me. Thx!

Thanks man.....restarting windows audio service fixed up my sound issue.

Thank you. After pressing 'restart' and restarting my computer it works perfectly. I tried many things before but your advice fixed it.

Thanks. Worked like a charm

A little late, but at the top of the device list, uninstall the drivers for Realtek audio or whatever yours is and the device, then scan for hardware changes, that also can fix this problem in some cases

Thank you for the help

Resetting windows audio worked perfectly thank you so much

In the device manager - right click the audio inputs and outputs - check for new hardware. Then the TV should show up. Worked for me.

I’ve had to install drivers but every time I boot up the pc I have to reinstall it each time and that takes several restarts and a lot of time is there something obvious that I’m missing

Does this work on Lenovo IdeaPad 320 and will it mess it up?

Thank you it worked, I had to stop then start my windows audio. And then I restarted my computer and it worked just great.

Thanks mate ... The video was helpful and it worked for me ..

Thanks bud! First one worked after restarting.

I have no sound on my computer for a whole year almost but one time i kicked my computer because i tripped on my cord and my monitor fell on the table and the audio input flew out and when i restarted my computer the volume came back somehow.

Great advice!

I tried what you suggested and still am unable to hear the sound on my tv monitor from my laptop.
