Question:

 Why am I getting no audio when connecting my computer to my TV using HDMI or DVI cables and analog audio outputs?

Answer:

Some customers are reporting that, when they connect the HDMI or DVI out on their computer to the HDMI/DVI in on their TV’s and then connect the analog audio out from their PC to the TV’s DVI audio in, they get no audio. 

This problem is caused by the video card in the computer. Your TV scans for a digital audio signal. If it senses a digital audio signal, it disables the analog audio inputs because it believes it is receiving an audio signal via the HDMI cable. If there are no digital audio signals, it activates the analog audio inputs. Certain video cards, however, output a false digital audio signal. Responding to the false signal, the TV disables the analog audio inputs. The results is no audio. 

To resolve this problem, video card manufacturers have released driver updates that eliminate the false digital audio signal. If you are experiencing this problem, please contact the manufacturer of your video card.
