I’ve tried the solutions of similar threads, so please bear with me.
Problem: No sound coming out of TV and no option to set it so. Upon connecting laptop to TV via hdmi cable. Sound output options only show laptop’s built-in speakers, but not the TV.
I would like to output the sound via the TV.
Everything else works fine: Display is ok. Cable is ok (the same hdmi cable plugged onto the same TV but getting sound from my Switch: works fine).
Please help? Thank you
