When I attached a second monitor via HDMI cable and try to use Duplicate, Extend, or Second Screen only display modes, I can get the video to display and run but I get no audio unless I set the notebook display settings to P/C Only mode.  I really want to use the second screen for PowerPoint/Presenter View and play a embedded video (along with the sound).  Even if I try to play a YouTube video I can only get audio when in P/C Screen Only mode.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi,

 

Please disable HDMI sound to force audio back to the laptop or use different conection such as VGA or DVI. To diable HDMI sound, please right click speaker icon > playback devices > right click and disable HDMI sound.
