    Hi folks!

    I use my laptop to view movies and i use mediaportal. I have a USB connected speakerset that i unplug when i connect the HDMI. The sounds in windows, spotify ie works just fine over the HDMI. But the mediaportal doesnt. I have also set the default speaker to HDMI.

    I tried every option in the decoder sound setting (on the various tabs video, tv...) But it still dosnt work. I even tried installing other skins. But nothing i do seem to make mediaportal stream sounds over the HDMI.

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Have you checked the mixer in Windows (this assume your using Win 7 - if not, ignore:)?

    Each application has it's own volume slider - having re-installed the whole sh'bang myself before now by missing this, it's a simple check.

    Run MP not in full screen or always on top mode (just so you can see the task bar). Click on the speaker, select mixer and if MP slider of zero, you've found your problem - zap it and and test:)

    If that don't work, lots of bods here in forums who'll help with the more complicated stuff:)

    As said - been there, done that so no need to feel stupid:)

    What you may want to take a look at is the dll fix (from MP1.3.0 dev but works 100% on 1.2.3) so MP takes control of master volume - this will avoid problems many people have where loose the link between MP volume control and the TV:-<

    muellinger,

    I'm guessing that when in MP the mute button mutes/unmutes MP's output, whilst outside MP it mutes/unmutes the master volume.

    If that is the case, perhaps this patch can help you https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-master-volume-mute-in-vista-and-above.98463/
