    Hello,

    I have a Sony Vaio 17 inch full HDMI laptop using Vista. I have been using a HDMI cable connected to my TV for a few months now all working fine yet today for no apparent reason the sound has started coming through my laptop rather than the TV. I have gone to the control panel and tried switching the default sound to the realtec digital however this did not work and I ended up with no sound at all. Any ideas how to fix this? I have tried two different players both VLC and Zoom player.

    Regards

    Sylver

    Go into playback settings in sound and select HDMI as output. I hope its as simple as that. If not, uninstall drivers and reinstall them.

    Unfortunately this does not work the realtek digital output plays no sound and the HDMI digital output says its not plugged in. It all worked fine with just the HDMI scart lead before.
