The sound only comes from internal speakers of laptops, but not from lcd t.v. conected to laptop
via hdmi cable


How can I enable xbmc on my laptop to play sound on LCD tv speakers and disable the sound from my laptop p.c.?

Thanks.

You need to setup your audio settings....
I read some of the details on link you gave me. Thanks..

Seems quite complicated just to enble sound on LCD t.v. and disable it on laptop,

Anything simple just to enable sound on lcd tv and disable sound on laptop when using hdmi cable ?



The problem is on one of my laptop has Real Tek hd audio drivers on my Acer Aspire 7750Z laptop..
So that means I have to uninstall it ? So do I install some other drivers instead or what ?
Is my sound driver still going to work ? I think when I unstall it, the sound is not as loud as before when I have Real Tek drivers installed when I using the laptop internal speakers. It has very low volume levels without
the Real Tek audio drivers.

What should I do ?

Thanks.

You need to setup your audio settings....
Open Windows Control Panel >> Sound>>Playback and select your HDMI output as the default device by selecting it and clicking the “Set default” button. Click “OK” to close Control Panel.
