SkyGo - playing from laptop to TV via HDMI why picture no sound?

[Tom284]

I have Skygo on my laptop. When I connect laptop via USBC/HDMI to my TV I get picture but no sound - is there a fix for this?

You might need to change a setting in your laptop to show that you are using a TV as an external monitor so have a look n the settings for such as option.

Thanks. It's an Apple MacBook Air - does that make an difference?

Picture coming through fine on the "Display" option in Settings.

On the "Sound" option in Settings I can see the TV connection via HDMI but I cannot set the output to that output source. 

Thoughts?

SkyGo on Apple Macbook will not play sound to TV via HDMI. Picture plays fine.

On Appl MAcbook Settings menus:

Display - shows the TV and plays picture via HDMI connection

Sound - shows the output "Sony TV via HDMI" but I cannot connect the output to that output

I have moved your latest post to the thread you started on this a few days ago.

Im afraid I don't know anything about Mac Book so if you don't get any replies here have you tried using a search engine to see what you can find ?

 OK I set it up as a new query as I felt you had done everything you could and so didn't want it to die as a query.

I slightly changed the focus of the new query and supplied more Apple detail to attract a user who might have the same experience,

Which adapter or cable are you using to go from USB-C to HDMI?

I'd observe the official Apple accessory is an ambitious £69

I got it working by first playing a video on YouTube where sound came through  perfectly..

I then switched to SkyGo and voila, problem solved!

thanks for your reply though 👍
