Visit techtied.com for more. This is my second review of the Dell XPS M1530 Laptop. Issue with HDMI Sound, I show the solution. I show and discuss displaying both Hulu and Netflix Online Movies using the HDMI out to a 32inch LCD display.

  • are you able to close the laptop while using it through the tv?

  • Defiantly! But you first need to modify your default power settings. Go to "Control Panel" > "power options" then modify your selected plan settings. Now click on "Advanced Power Settings". Scroll down and expand "Power Button & Lid", expand "Lid Close Action". Now change both "On Battery" & "Plugged in" to "Do Nothing". Now save, your good to go!!

  • Based on what you're talking, the "distortion" you seem to witness doesn't really seem related to the laptop, your connection, or anything, but rather the compression used by hulu or netflix. So unless you get this _only_ on the shown setup, and not on your desktop or something, it's not in any way the Laptop's fault.

  • You may be correct. When using Hulu & Netflix in the last few months the distortion has gone away for the most part. I think it was the websites streaming bandwidth.

  • is that HDMI-HDMI cable?

  • yes

  • super buen aporte, me funciono mucho... ya q no podia sacar el audio por el cable HDMI... EXELENTE

  • i have this laptop, it sucks it always crashes the disc tray is broken, you only get 2hrs of battery life also the volume buttons you have to press really hard!

  • The fix doesnt work for me, seems to be a problem for alot of xps1530 users. Picture works fine no sound thru HDMI.

  • i have this laptop... i hate it

  • I don't have HDMI as a option :/!!!

  • THANK YOU!

  • When I connect my M1530 to a Vizio 42" LCD, it says "no signal." I've tried everything: I updated my drivers, did the whole "new display detected thing" (I want mirrored), for some reason in the Windows Mobility Center it says "Display connected" under external display... but on my TV it still says "no signal"

    Anyone got any ideas? It's buggin the shit outta me... i cant sleep without a TV-Computer HDMI connection

  • Is it possible to record from devices this way? For instance:

    PS3 via HDMI to TV

    TV via HDMI to Laptop.

  • i think i had a bug on the dell site and i upgraded my xps m1530 to a 9 cell battery for free
