Connecting high-definition devices (select models only)
For best results, when you connect an audio or video device such as a high-definition TV to the HDMI
port (select models only) on your computer, follow these guidelines:
●
Use QuickPlay as your software application.
●
Set S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) as your default audio playback device.
Otherwise, you may hear audio only through your computer speakers, not through the audio or video
device.
To set S/PDIF as your default audio playback device, follow these steps:
1.
Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound icon.
2.
Click the Playback tab.
3.
Click S/PDIF Interface, click Set Default, and then click OK.
4.
Start QuickPlay (or restart it if it is already running), and you should hear audio on your device.
