Thanks for the video. It was really helpful. So, I plugged in the HDMI into my laptop and it automatically goes to the t.v when I change video inputs but my t.v does not have any sound when I change sound settings to the HDMI speakers. It's works on my sister computer. I was wondering do I need something else for my laptop so I can get speaker sound?

@mmarmes24 The sound does travel through the HDMI connection so you may need to tinker around with your audio settings more. You can use a separate audio connection for sound to a sound system.

My ends of the cords are the same. One end only plugs into the tv the other one doesnt plug in my pc

@macaronimadness You will need to get a different cord that will work. There is always the possibility that the connection may not work if you have an analog TV.

Hello T,

You taught me how to crochet & now this! THANK YOU!

I connected my PC to my TV using the S video. I can get my desktop picture on my TV, but no icons and there doesn't seem to be a connection. My TV is old and doesn't have HDMI or any graphic changes on the menu. Any ideas?

Thanks so much for all that you share!

Mo

@Modivo You will need to adjust your display settings on your computer, so the icons show.
