Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
I see that you're trying to configure the audio output when an HDMI cable is connected.
Note: Use the correct HDMI cable for your HDMI device
Let's try this:
-
Connect the HDMI cable to your computer and to your output device.
-
Right-click the Volume icon
on the taskbar, and then select Sounds or Playback Devices.
-
The Sound window opens. On the Playback tab, select Speaker/Headphone or Speakers and Headphones, and then click Set Default.
NOTE: Use Default Devices for audio output devices such as headphones or speakers. Use Default Communication Device for making and receiving phone calls.
-
Select the output device connected with the HDMI cable, and then click Set Default.
-
Right-click the output device connected with the HDMI cable, and then select Show Disconnected Devices. The HDMI cable must be connected when it is configured.
-
To view all the available sound devices, right-click any device shown in the Sound window and select the Show Disabled Device and Show Disconnected Devices options.

Thank you for posting back.
I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue.
Let's try this:
- Firstly, Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI connector on your TV/Monitor.
- Next, Insert the other end of this cable into the HDMI connector on the computer.
Once its done let's check for the settings on the computer.
- Right-click the "Volume" icon on the Windows taskbar, select "Sounds" and choose the "Playback" tab. Click the "Digital Output Device (HDMI)" option and click "Apply" to turn on the audio and video functions for the HDMI port. ( even you can check with a different HDMI cable to ensure HDMI cable is functioning )
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
