no sound when HDMI to tv

[mncaseyjones]

every other game works and I can see it on the TV and hear it, but fallout doesn't work HALP

Hi, I have the same problem.
Workaround: Go to your Audio Settings and disable all other Audio Adapters (right click -> Disable). Now it works over TV Hdmi

Yup the first time it happened to me too.

That's the thing, I've disabled, and enabled everything, I'm no noob. All my other games work, just fallout. Checked all drivers, everything up to date, just been playi9ng it on my tv with souind coming from my laptop. rip

[mncaseyjones]

that's too much to do =\ wish the game worked like it was supposed to. honestly thinking about going back to console just because I always have to patch this that or the other

Uninstalling and reinstalling Intel drivers worked for me :-)

OK i have a new solution (if you have the same sys config like me).
*Deinstall Intel Graphic Dirver via DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 15.6.0.2)
*restart PC
*Install the new Intel Graphic Dirver release 16.11.2015 // Ver:154010.4300
*Restart PC
*Plug off all Headsets or other audio / mic devies from your PC
*Play any Music or something - that u are sure that ur TV Audio output works (i used spotify)
*Make sure (if u modded the game) Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini NOT read only
*Start Game - Works?
*Quit game and mark Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini as read only
*finish

-> maybe you need not all steps - but i dont touch my system now, because it works :D

Just play it in widowed mode, problem solved for me

HDMI to Desktop from my Flatscreen, and the sound doesn't drop for me, at least until my sound driver crashes.. but that only happened before patches related to audio drivers.

@redfire1145 you are awesome man. I had the same issue, ran the launcher, make it run in window mode without a border and it worked.... freaking crazy man, would of never figured that out on my own. Thank you!

Might as well play on my laptop thanks to the size

[mncaseyjones]

Yeah... I never fixed it.. I play with the sound coming out of the laptop.... =\

I'm pretty sure this is a driver issue on windows 10 and has something to do with how the nvidia gpu handshakes with the integrated Intel gpu which is responsible for driving the HDMI port...

Here is how I resolved the issue:
1. Plug the HDMI in and go to device manager (right click start -> device manager)
2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers"
3. Right click "Intel Display Audio" or something like that and uninstall.
4. Restart the PC
5. Right click the sound icon in the system tray and make sure the TV is set to default.
6. Load up the game and all should be good.

My specs for reference:
win10, i5 skylake, 960m, intel integrated graphics 530

Good luck, hope this helps!

I have solved with with my Asus K501XU gaming laptop.

1: open sound, play back devices. U should see two, one for ur laptop audio and another for ur HDMI, mine is TCL blah blah.. for my TCL TV.

2: Right click on laptop play back device and choose disable. It will still be there, but grayed out.

3: Device manager: find the same sound device u just disabled in sound playback device screen.

4: again, right click on this and choose disable.

5: IMPORTANT. RESTART your PC.

6: Now after ur PC is restarted, u will not that ur sound symbol in ur systray will have a red x. Fallout wont even run now.. thats cool.

7: go back to device manager and find that audio device u disabled and now right click and enable it.

8: Note, u will now see that red X gone. Now ur sound device in the play back screen, should still show disabled, while the same sound driver is enabled in device manager.

9: play fallout, this should work.

Summary: yes disabling it should work. But it needs to be disabled in play back devices first, then disabled in device manager, and reboot. Now after u re enable it in device manager, it is still fully disabled as a play back device, but now ur OS will detect a valid sound driver loading, meaning red x gone.

Good luck

I had this problem when I first got Fallout and worked around it by using windowed mode but now I see the resolution is limited to 1440 x 810. What happened to 1080 windowed mode? Do I really have to disable and enable the right sound outputs every time depending on what I'm doing on my laptop? Now the game wont even start with laptop speakers disabled, since when does a game get worse after a year of updates?
