    Hi there

    When watching a video in any software i get th sound going fine through hdmi but when i switched to power saver mode the sound stopped and if i put it back to high performance it is the same again... is there a way to enable it even in power saver mode??

    Don't understand why you wouldn't be near a power source whilst hdmi is in use, but i think the solution is to right click the speaker in the taskbar and select hdmi as the output device.

    Because sometimes i just want to connect it for 1 hour and my battery when full charged can handle a video just fine for more time than that and if as you suggested i haven't already set hdmi as the default output device how would i get the sound then when set to high performance..

    Do someone else try this and tell me if they have the same problem please??
