HP Pavilion Gaming DPGEK44
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The sound on my notebook works fine until I connect it via HDMI to an HP Pavilion 24xw monitor.  Then the audio disappears.  If I disconnect it, the audio comes back.

 

I have tried going to the 'Sound' section of the control panel.  There are two options:

Speakers Realtek High Definition Audio 

HP 24xw

The default is Speakers Realtek.  When I use the test facility my notebook plays the test sound.  I have updated to the latest version of the driver.

 

Can someone help with why when plugging in the monitor the audio disappears from my notebook?

 

Thank you so much!
