Hi Jannik,

You may try to set the HDMI as default audio device.

• Click Start, and then Control Panel. Select the Hardware and Sound category.
• Click Manage audio devices, listed under the heading Sound. In the window that opens, a number of devices may be listed under Playback.
• Among the listed devices, select the device described with HDMI or Digital Audio, and click Set Default. A green tick mark should show that this device is now the selected output device. Click OK to confirm and close the window.
• The audio should now play back via the HDMI output.

Hope this helps.

Hi Fusion

Thank you for the reply.

I do that every time and the sound is going through the HDMI al right, but after 10 minutes, when the monitor goes into power saving mode, the sound starts coming out of the PC speakers. Then when I touch the mouse for example, to turn the monitor back on (out of power saving mode) the sound goes back to coming out the HDMI.

hanseivan,

That monitor is acting correctly. When the monitor is off, you will not get sound.

Thanks for the reply, Chris.

But there is sound from the PC speakers. Why does the computer change audio device, when the monitor goes off?

When turning the monitor off manually, the sound keeps coming out the HDMI. Then waiting for windows to make monitor go into power saving (still with it manually off), the sound goes to PC speakers again.

Does any of you know a workaround for this?

I guess turning power saving off the monitor would do the trick and just turn it off manually when listening to music. Or using 3.5 mm connection from PC to receiver or get a stand alone audio card. Would that work with watching movies on the HDMI too, for better audio quality?

That made me get it! Thank you for explaining it so concise. :-)
