How to connect speakers to a computer via HDMI

HDMI is a modern port that allows you to output various types of data. But it is important to know how to use it.

What is hdmi

HDMI allows you to transmit high-quality audio information and photos. It is universal and suitable for loading any type of data. This allows you to use only one wire instead of many (becomes easier to understand since you don't have to deal with other wires).

What problems may arise when connecting?

There are cases when, having connected HDMI from the speakers, the sound disappears. This is especially true for Nvidia video cards. They have their own controllers that transmit signals. When a device is connected, these controllers are automatically launched. But some older versions of video cards require the purchase of a separate SPDIF cable (it may be included with the video card). It is necessary to connect the video card and the motherboard chip. We do the following:

1. We connect the board and card connectors using SPDIF.
2. Let's go to Start.
3. We are looking for the search string. Enter the word “sound” into it. Another way is to use the control panel.
4. We are looking for “SPDIF Output”. We set it as default.

Attention! If there was no error in selecting the source, the sound will start working. If not, another source was used. HDMI will feed the signal through any type of speaker (speakers or headphones).

How to connect speakers to a computer via hdmi

To begin, simply connect the speakers to the appropriate port. If we need digital audio, it is recommended to run the HDMI Audio Converter program. It allows you to broadcast images on your TV while producing high quality sounds.

After connecting the device, it should work immediately. If this does not happen, you should check the power cord (there should be 2 plugs from the speakers, one to the TV, the other to the outlet). If you are sure that the speakers are turned on, then the problem is in their settings. So you need:

1. Open Start.
2. Go to the Control Panel.
3. Select the “Sound” section.
4. A window will appear. In it, go to the “Playback” tab.
5. Select the connected speakers.
6. Right-click on “Select Set as Default”.

Connecting the speakers yourself is not difficult. But it is important to follow all the rules and recommendations.
