No audio, no HDMI option
#1
Hello,

I am using a laptop and the video works as I connect my HDMI to my TV. But the sound stays on the laptop. I know we are suppose to go to settings > audio > output to HDMI

But the problem is... there is no option for an HDMI.

I used to have a laptop with HDMI,
That only outputted video.
The audio I had to get from the headphone connector that had a double function as a optical out.
LibreElec Kodi | Aeon MQ ?

Are you connecting the hdmi to the TV after you have started xbmc? If so this is wrong, in order for xbmc to detect the hdmi as a valid audio device then you MUST connect the hdmi BEFORE xbmc is started.

Thanks for the replies so far, i'm at work so ill try some of the suggestions when I get back.

I have a pretty new laptop so I'm sure my HDMI is capable of sending sound.

I have a Sony VAIO Duo 13. Thanks again you guys!
