Does m15x support HDMI with sound?

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
I have had an m15x for a few months now and I cannot figure out how to get it to play sound when I hook it up to my TV or another external hard drive.

Should I be able to get audio from my TV with the HDMI hookup to my m15x

HDMI should carry a digital auto signal. If you're plugging it in directly to your TV, and you can see video, you SHOULD hear audio instantly. Are you playing a DVD or Blu-ray? Or are you trying to get Windows sounds? Have you tried a 2nd HDMI cable?

I just had a Alienware support representive directly connect to my computer and he fixed the issue.

It took him 1 hour 40 minutes... but he fixed it

That sounds quite interesting in regards on how they fix it, that's pretty good tech support imo. Wish dell would do something like that instead of them telling you some a preset of fixing options.

A few days ago I wasn't able to get sound out of my HDMI port when I plugged my m15x into the HDTV? So I had to plug an audio jack into my headphone jack and run it to the external speakers in order to get sound...

I think it mostly involved updating the Realtek HD Audio Manager driver.

And than go to the Realtek Audio manager and select digital output as your default.


But it took him 2 hours to do it... so maybe he did more than just that

Just curious what drivers are you using for your Realtek HD Audio Manager driver? My driver date is 8/31/09.

Yea, I used to play Halo 3 and Halo 2 all of the time on my brother's Xbox and my computer respectively. But, ever since then I don't play because the school network blocks XBOX LIVE. PM me your gametag and we can hit up some games sometimes when I can get online.
