Right clicking the audio sign, then playback devices and setting the SPDIF Out to default make any difference in getting sound through it?Sat, 22 Dec 2007 13:53:28 GMTkingofnexushttp://www.vistaforums.com/Forum/Topic12453-17-1.aspxHi everyone,<br><br>This is it. Last attempt. Been to HP, Panasonic and Microsoft. I have a relatively new HP DV9027US. The on board audio is Conexant High Def. Audio. I have an S/PDIF jack in the front. I own a retail store and installed a panasonic 5.1 surround sound system in the store. When I opened the store, we bought a 3.5mm to right/left audio cable from radio shack and simply plugged in our Mac to the receiver and the music played fine. I now need to leave the Hp at the store with media library loaded up. I simply plugged in the appropriate cable and...nothing happened, no sound. I went control panel > sound and in the sound menu I have two options: 1. internal speaker/headphones and 2. SPDIF Interface with a little icon of a receiver yet, I only get music out of the receiver when I have selected the internal speaker/headphone. Oddly enough, when I have this option selected, I can play music out of both the headphone AND SPDIF jack. There is NO NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE in terms of quality between the two. This is important because my laptop thinks I am listening to headphones so the volume only goes so high. That is, it is weak when playing over my sound system. When I select the SPDIF icon (receiver) and play a song in media, the equalizer bar next to the icon registers music, but does not play anything over the system. Why is this?<br><br>The receiver is compatible and should plug and play (according to panasonic) I have reinstalled, updated, rolled back, kissed, hugged, yelled at and then hugged again the conexant audio driver and I have updated everything else pertinent (media player, directx...etc) I am at a loss for words. When I got this laptop, I ported every song I've ever owned onto this machine. All my tool, RATM, sublime and system of the down and I really am starting to dislike the fact that I will never be able to use a home audio system with this laptop.<br><br>Any and all help is appreciated.<br><br>Regards,<br>KooThu, 13 Dec 2007 20:28:55 GMTKooKoo
