HELP (Sound problem)

[funkyjj86]

Hi, brought a new pc back in october and has worked fine the whole time. i upgraded to windows 7 with few problems.

 

however i just purchased a new monitor that has tiny rubish speakers and seemingly no audio output.

 

i went to attach my speakers straight into the green audio output socket into the back of my computer and there was no audio coming out, however audio was being transfered down the hdmi to the monitor.

 

i have checked various settings but cannot seem to find anything anywhere for normal audio, only the hdmi audio.

 

so i have sound but i dont? if you get me. can some on please help me how to figure out how to get the audio coming out of the green socket, as we have had that working before , which may have been before we upgraded to windows 7, suggesting a driver problem, but i havent a clue where to look to start sorting that kind of problem out.

 

cheers

 

i will be ablige to provide you with any info i can find about my pc if you need, but im not sure what you will need.

 

hoping for a nice quick solution ton something stupid i have missed

 

Cheers

Hi Jay, yes we probably could do with some more information, Mainly the make and model, desktop or laptop, will be a big help.

I am guessing here but considering it has HDMI output and sound is appearing at the monitor speakers I think that rules out a driver problem.

So it will no doubt be a matter of redirecting the sound away from the HDMI output and instead it needs to be going to the green socket.

That setting if there is one should be in control panel.

Go to start then click on Control panel, once opened, it may be set to category, click that and a drop down should give you the choice of large or small icons.

Click large icons for now, then there should be two options, one should be just Sound, and hopefully the other should be Realtek HD Audio manager. The setting to change may be within the Realtek controls, though they may also be in the other option of Sound.

This is where ideally we could do with knowing who made the computer and the model. It just may not be the Realtek system installed.
