Hi Ashley... B,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?

1. first you need a video cable to make the physical connection. For a better image quality, you must connect to the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
2. open the "display settings" in your Vista computer and activate the output to the TV screen. You can reflect the content of your computer on the TV or extend the display as a double screen control.
3. pick up your TV remote and switch to "External inputs" in the menu. You need to change the value by default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "video 2" depending on how you made the connection. "
Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer, because sometimes it may not recognize the external display.
You may also change the resolution of your TV screen using the display settings in your panel of control remains the image may appear distorted.

    Hello:

    In the section of sound from the Control Panel, when you click on manage Audio devices, you see two choices?

    You should.  You should see your integrated audio system (Soundmax) and your HDMI (which should be your AMD HD Audio device).

    You must have this current option in order to have your HDMI audio to work.

    If it is not present, I recommend you to only visit the Web of AMD site to download and install the latest drivers and the catalyst control center. This package should include the HDMI audio.

    Use the drop down menu to choose the drivers you need:

  • Connect XPS 17 LCD TV via HDMI cable

    I have a XPS 17 L701X- and I'm trying to connect it via HDMI cable for a 32 '' LCD TV Phillips girlfriend with backlight. However, no matter what I try, the laptop never acknowledges that the TV is there and vice versa. I tried to restart, reinstall the video drivers, fiddling with settings in the control panel for multiple screens, tried two new HDMI cables separated from Amazon - and nothing works. (The TV works fine when it connects its Macbook via HDMI). Can someone please help?

    Well Mitch, I advanced and bought this adapter part and, lo and behold, the work of workaround! First try also (at least in my case)-without debugging or diagnose.

    Process, my three steps:

    (1) I plugged the adapter Mini DisplayPort for my XPS (around the back next to the HDMI port); (2) I connected the HDMI cable to the adapter (the other end of the cable is already connected HDTV); (3) I have pressing F1 on my XPS and duplicate selected (key Windows + P or "Connect to a projector" If you work via Control Panel).

    (I used StarTech Mini DisplayPort HDMI adapter)

    -site of the factory that it lists as $22, but I bought mine from a local store of tech for less than half that price. I hope this helps!

  • Windows 8 detects no alternative display via HDMI cable

    I have a new desktop dell running windows 8 and I want to connect to a larger screen (samsung LCD TV) via a 10 m HDMI cable.

    I tried everything I could think of but have had no success.

    -Reinstall the drivers

    There is no problem with the cable, because it connects to TV to other devices and windows 7 laptops without too much effort.

    Please someone help me as this has proved to be extremely frustrating.

    Hi Craig,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • You receive an error message?

    I understand that you are able to connect Windows 7 computer to TV but not of Windows 8 computer through the same HDMI cable and I'll be happy to answer your query. First we will check if the TV model you are trying to connect is compatible with the operating system Windows 8. Please enter the exact model of the TV in the Compatibility Center and check.

    In addition, since you are able to connect TV with Windows 7 computer, there will be possibility of incompatible drivers with the Windows 8 operating system. I suggest you to install the driver in compatibility mode and check.

    Please see: make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows

    For more information, you can refer to the manual of the TV or contact Samsung Support

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Hello:

    I've never heard of such a claim.

    People connect external monitors and TV on their laptops all the time, that's why they are equipped with video/HDMI ports.

    Probably, there is a higher risk of damage/overheating to the graphics card for games graphics intensive video then they streaming video to an external monitor/TV.

    I would not be concerned.

    laptop loses picture when I connect the laptop HDMI cable to HD TV

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

    Try pressing your "fn + f5" together until both monitors are on. The combination of keys is to pass between the monitors. In your case, the first time, it should turn on the laptop screen and turns off the second monitor, the second must turn them both on. On some computers, it's the f4 key and on dell is the f8 key, the key is usually the image from one monitor to this topic.

  • No audio HDMI laptop computer connecting VAIO from Sony Soundbar

    There is no audio signal when connecting my VAIO SVF14N13CXB win 8.1 race to a bar of his Sony SA-CT26OH.

    Video works very well, and it worked when I "upgraded" to windows 10.  However when I returned to Windows 8.1 it wouldn't work. I tested the cable connecting it to a different TV and audio/video works great.  I've updated all the drivers and showed ' disconnected/disabled' features in the sound settings, but it shows same never a HDMI output for me device allow the way it does on the other TV.

    Bingo!  I thought about it!

    The only way that it would recognize the attached device was if I restarted the laptop and booted up it with the already connected HDMI cable.
