Product: Pavillion Laptop 15 Cs2089nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've got a speakers-less monitor which I want to connect to my laptop. I've bought this HDMI Splitter Audio Extractor which hooks up a monitor to an exernal audio device, which then should play sounds coming from any device linked to the splitter via HDMI. It works great with another Windows laptop of mine, but when I use my newer laptop this way, I can't get the audio to play from the speakers that I connected to the HDMI Splitter (it still plays from the laptop's integrated speakers), even though no such problem arises when directly plugging that same computer to a TV. Does anybody know what's happening here? The monitor doesn't even show up at all in the playback window (and yes, deactivated and disabled audio devices are set to be showing up). I think it is likely to be a drivers problem, but I'm pretty sure everything it's up to date.
