Connected dvd player with hdmi cable to pc..dvd plays ok but no audio..connected audio output from dvd player using rca phono lead to 3.5mm jack to rear panel socket..see attached image ...
What am i doing wrong ?
Doesn't the HDMI cable carry the audio, no need for RCA-In ?
Thanks for reply.
Just using a standard HDMI cable..i thought it be a simple matter...obviously not...there maybe a audio setting somewhere within Windows 10 i've missed or a special HDMI lead needed...or the audio is there but to low for pc speakers to pick up and need boosting up somehow.
".there maybe a audio setting somewhere within Windows 10 i've missed"
Unplug RCA and just use HDMI cable. Open Control Panel/Sound. You should have an source option other than default, like this -
If you can't enable it there, go to Settings/Update & Security/Troubleshoot & run the tool for 'Playing audio'. Good Luck
Thanks for replying...
Sorted !...did what you suggested..i disconnected my dvd player ...reconnected my pc monitor...reconnected dvd player RCA L/R audio lead and went into Realteck audio manager setting and clicked the 'line input' jack...heard dvd sound..reconnected dvd player to pc monitor..everything is working fine.
I still have to use the RCA audio lead to get audio not just HDMI lead...Now i can watch Skyfall in better quality than my small bedroom tv.
Problem solved.
Have a nice night.
Thanks for marking Solved so someone else with this issue can find. Cheers
