Solved HDMI Sound
-
<p>Running a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th gen. The game runs fine except that if I plug in my HDMI monitor as Display # 2 and use it as my primary display no sound through the HDMI connected display and speakers. If I set Display #1 (laptop as primary) and start game it runs with sound on laptop if in the game setup I select display #2 it jumps to second display but no more sound anywhere. any suggestions? PS all my other games Falcon 4.0 orig and Falcon Gold plus all other apps run fine on the #2 display as primary?<br />Thanks<br />adam<br /></p>

@SemlerPDX Yes , voicemeter is cool. I have vm-bannana.
I use it to route sound to my wireless headphones , so i don’t have to fiddle around too much. all ok that way.
I’ve tried normal windows routing (listen device on…) but i get glitches , pops, it was ear harassment
With voicemeter I’m cool and all, it even supports asio but … eh, don’t need 192/24 studio for flight sims … Cheers -
<p>@arbush With hdmi, you’ll usually have to go into your pc’s sound settings and make the hdmi sound option the default sound provider. Look in control panel’s sound settings/manage audio devices and something should be there to allow the change.<br /></p>

<p>@arbush I don’t have multiple monitors to test with, right now, but does it help if you <br />- set Windows desktop to “second monitor only” (hit [Win+P]), and <br />- select that monitor as audio output device (click on the little speaker icon in the taskbar tray area)<br />- launch BMS from desktop on that display<br />?<br /><br /></p>

<p>@airtex2019</p><ol><li> If I set display #2 (HDMI) in windows to main display and launch BMS in windowed mode(with BMS set to #1) it works fine (on Display #2 albeit windowed).</li><li> If I switch BMS to Full screen no sound. If I switch back to windowed still no sound. </li><li>If I launch BMS in full screen with it set to either #1 or #2 (leaving WIN main set to #2) No sound. </li></ol><p>If I launch BMS set to Display #1 and WIN set to Display #1 the sounds comes out Display #2 the only way I can get sound back to laptop D1 is to unplug D2. <br />I tried multiple combinations it seems not to like Full Screen on Display #2 regardless of the setting combinations.<br /> </p>

<p>@arbush ps is this Windows 10?<br /><br />Honestly I’ve given up on fullscreen-exclusive mode. It is very buggy and unstable, way too easy to crash a flight by bumping the [Win] key or [alt+Tab] or what have you, and doesn’t allow for overlay windows. Maybe there are quirks with sound-over-hdmi also… I recommend borderless-window mode, in all cases.<br /><br />(And the Windows 10 “fullscreen optimizations” changes in DWM should mitigate almost all performance difference, between the two modes.)<br /><br />I have an older laptop I can dust off, plug into my monitor, and try to play along… but at this point I’ll probably wait for 4.36 before diving deep into “software testing” mode. :)</p>

<p>For Now I’ll stick to my old 4.0 orig patched to 1.13 it seems solid. Also Still have toi work through old TM-Cougar issues on BMS.<br />Cheers<br />Adam </p>

@arbush did you try to disable unneeded sound outputs … ? … maybe force it to use “preferred” somehow…, i don’t have that problem as i have “dedicated” (hate the word, duh) sound-card , my onboard is disabled in bios , and hdmi (monitor) never even tried to make sound if not asked for.
May i suggest to take control of your system first -

@arbush
I have a same issue with the BMS. If I want to use it on my laptop when I connect with HDMI to my 55" lcd TV. There is no sound. If my settings are clone the displays or extended. Only I have sound if I change my settings that the TV would be the first display. I have no other connection plug on my laptop just only one HDMI for external display. The top of that I have 2 GPUs in my laptop, one of in my CPU like an IGPU and one dedicated . the picture is hand over to the secondary display, but the sound seems to be not. And also have a problem, to not can be set the resolution different then on the first display
This issue happen for me since 4.34. -
