Title: Problems with sound
Post by: tylerkschrute on 2013-11-24 01:08:26

I have my laptop hooked up to my TV through an HDMI connecter plugged into my display port. However, for some reason I can't get the sound to stream to the TV instead of the laptop speakers. I've tried things like youtube, and the sound plays to the TV just fine. I use ff7Music along with finalfantim's remastered OST, so I suspect the problem is rooted in the ff7music application.

I should clarify that the sound DOES work, but it only outputs to the laptop. Even after muting the laptop speakers and setting my TV's sound device to primary, I still don't get any sound.

Any suggestions?

It's not a problem related to ff7music, you need to change the speakers in the ff7confic.exe to the HDMI out device.
However, if you want to play it on the laptop again, then you have to set it back or the game won't start.

That fixed the background music, however gameplay sounds (such as the sound that accompanies cursor movement in menus) is still coming through the laptop. Are these sounds configured separately?

Yep. Once plugged into the TV, an additional option appears in the drop down menu for the sound driver. Even after selecting it, gameplay sounds are still coming through the laptop.

To get sound from TV, before Windows starts you have to hook up PC with TV through HDMI cable.
Then start PC.
Following control panel- Hardware and Sound - Sound, you will see HDMI device displayed on Playback TAB.
Selecting it, crick "SET Default" button.
You will get sound from TV through HDMI cable, I hope.

Hey man, did you ever manage to get it fixed? I'm having the exact same issue, music plays through the tv, but the sound effects insist to come out of the laptop. Tried everything!
