XPS 1330 - HDMI problem
2 weeks ago I bought a Dell XPS m1330.
Since I don't like Vista I installed Windows XP. Everything works except the audio on HDMI.
When I connect my laptop to my Philips TV with hdmi, I do get video, but the sound comes out of my laptop instead of my TV. I tried looking in the audio-settings. I've looked on the internet but I can't really find a proper answer.
I have installed:
STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio
Chipset Drivers
GeForce 8400M GS ...
Do I need any additional drivers or programs for audio in HDMI? (for win xp)
Sorry for this rather silly question :D
Many thanks in advance.

I must admit I haven't tested it with the standard Vista installation, so I'm not sure if the problem is with windows xp or the hardware.
Though, if you have output through your HDMI please let me know.
Thanks

I have the same system ,minus the SP1 update (how is it working for you. Is it worth it?) Now I had to go to the control panel and set my HDMI output as default the had to swicht it back so my Sony TV could get sound. U say u just plug and play without setting default settings? Nice how did u actualy do that.
Thanks Ernie

You start of by connecting you laptop(m1330) to the LCD by way of the HDMI cable. If you do nothing else the sound will come out of your laptop and the video will show on your LCD in 720p that's what I get not 1080i what I was expecting. However now for the sound, you go to the control panel and set the HDMI as your default audio device. aAt this point your sound should come out of your LCD or 5.1 or 7.1 sound system. It would have been nice to have this a bit more automateded but I guess Dell's Eng. thought your default out put would have been the laptop.

when you say "out your lcd" you mean that audio from the laptop is being output over the HDMI cable, not the mic/line outputs?
also, do you get any AC adapter whine when the laptop is powered by AC? if so, is it over the HDMI or just the mic/line outputs?
thanks

That's right sound is ported thru the HDMI cable to the LCD. If you have it connected to a 5.1 SS Unit it plays thru that as well. As for the whine, I glad to say I don't have that problem. It is clean audio I get with my unit. Look into were you have your unit plugged into. Sounds to me it may be interference either from your power strip or maybe another peace of equipment pug into the lot that might be causing that.

I have Vista Ultimate and had the same problem but now have it fixed. Go to Control Panel/Sound/HDMI/ select Advanced Tab / and make sure that both Exclusive Mode boxes are unchecked. With your HDMI cable hooked up, restart your video/audio application.
