How to make my computer send all audio data via an optical audio cable instead of making headphones?

Howdy,

To listen to the radio online or CD played from my computer, I used to connect the computer to my entertainment system at home since the headphone jack of the computer to the port on my home entertainment system.

Now, I wanted to get a better sound and bought the optical audio cable. However, I don't know how to tell my computer to send the audio signal to the system entertainmeny home via digital cable optical, rather than by the headphone. If I just disconnect the cable between the headphone and the port to THE and have only the PC and the system connected with the optical audio cable, I can't hear any sound. I suspect that the computer is not sending the data through the optical audio port. I'm not able to figure out how I can adjust the settings on my computer so that, from now on, all sounds are emitted through the optical audio.

(1) I want to do it especially for my desktop HP (configuration below) and advice on how to do this would be appreciated.

(2) I also have a HP laptop (configuration below) and I was wondering if this would be feasible too (even if she does not have an audio output, but it has an HDMI output - you can convert audio optical?)

Thanks in advance!

My office is:

Hello @_goma,.

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I read your post about how you want to send all the audio data via an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack of your computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

To configure your desktop computer to activate the optical audio cable, I advise you to follow the steps below:

Step 1. Click on the button of the Windows key on your desktop

Step 2. Type "Control Panel."

Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the upper right corner

Step 4. Select sound

Step 5. On the Read tab, right click on the white box under available devices

Step 6. Select "Show disabled" and "show disconnected devices".

Step 7. Connect your Audio optical cable

Step 8. Select your cable Audio perspective as the default device, and click 'enable '.

Because it is not possible to convert the audio output HDMI output on your laptop, it is regrettable that the laptop is not able to connect with an optical audio cable.

Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!
