Thanks, but everything seems to be working perfectly according to the system. the computer does switch to the monitor when I connect it, but it seems that the sound is disable/disconnected.

Original Title: Sound on TV
Hi I currently plug my laptop to a Samsung Monitor with a HDMI cable, but I cannot hear any sound from the Monitor. The sound on the laptop is ok. I can see the duplicate of my laptop screen on the monitor, but I cannot hear any sound, not even the simplest music, NOT even the Windows greeting sound.

Go to Control Panel > Sound and check the playback device. See if there is a separate option for the HDMI interface, with the monitor connected make that the default device and it should switch to it when the screen is connected.
