[ubuntu-uk] connecting laptop to LCD tv
Hi all, Not a strictly Ubuntu question so apologies. I would like to connect my laptop (its running the latest version 12.10) to my tv and get rid of my tv subscription. However when i plug my hdmi in cant get any sound from the tv. The sound continues to play from the laptop speakers! What can i do to fix this? -- Regards Javad -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I have 12.04, so I assume this will be on the Output tab and on the drop-down list from the Mode button. In earlier Ubuntu versions the Sound Setting are laid out differently.
