I was watching a program on my pc and everything was fine. When I connected my hdmi cable between my pc and tv, the video showed on both devices but the audio switched to the tv only - which was acceptable.
I then decided I did not want the video on the pc so I went under settings, system, display, multiple display tab, and selected "show only on 1" and apply, keep changes. Once this occurred, there was no longer audio from the tv.
I went back under settings to select "show on both displays" and the video came back to both devices but only audio from the pc.
Now I get video from both devices but I cannot restore the audio to the tv. I have tried pc sound troublrshooting but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
