Question

How do I get netflix audio to play on tv monitor

Dec 6, 2013 2:50AM PST

I am using hdmi cable from computer to tv monitor to watch netflix movies. Previously audio would play from tv monitor but suddenly the audio will only play on computer speakers. I do not recall any changes that would have created this problem. I am using Windows 7 on a Gateway SX2851-41 desktop.

Much obliged. It took me awhile, but when I went through control panel to speaker setup and selected tv monitor as a default setting, it enabled me to get the automatic sound switching I wanted from computer or tv monitor whenever I connected the tv via HDMI cable. Again, many thanks for your reply.
