Important audio settings

For best results, when you connect an audio or video device, such as a high-definition TV, to the HDMI port 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.Select the Playback tab.

3.Select S/PDIF Interface > 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.
