    Product: notebook

    Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

    No updates available, the other laptop plays great thru the TV (also an HP),  new HDMI cable. 

    The TV recognizes the device, and plays the video sound only, the TV only display's the wallpaper from the laptop,  no mouse pointer.  The video plays fine on the laptop and the sound transfers to the tv like its supposed to

    Thank you for posting on HP Forums, MKazi is at your service. 

     

    I understand that you have connected an HDMI TV to your HP laptop and only the sound can be heard. The TV only display's the wallpaper from the laptop and the mouse pointer is absent. I'll be glad to assist you. 

     

    What is the exact laptop model no? This link will help you to find the model no: http://hp.care/2bygf7l

     

    During my research, I found the following information:

    • Check that the display is connected to the computer and turned on.

    • Select the correct source on the HDTV monitor or TV. If the display or TV has more than one HDMI input, make sure you select the HDMI port that the HDMI cable is connected to, for example HDMI 2. If you are using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, select DVI as the source. Do not select HDMI as the default audio device in Windows

    • If using multiple displays, check the specifications for the graphics card to ensure that it supports the display types and numbers to which you connected. Most cards do not support connecting more than two displays at a time.

    • Update the BIOS and the video drivers to the latest version available for your computer.

    You may also refer to this HP document. The information shared helps in fixing various HDMI issues. 

     

    Hope this helps Keep me posted. All the best! 🙂

    Why does HDMI have sound but no picture?

    Step 1: Check if you are using the correct INPUT Make sure the TV is set to the correct video input to receive the HDMI signal. Most TV remotes have an Input button that cycles from one input to the next. Press the Input button repeatedly until the correct HDMI input is displayed on the TV.

    What do you do if your TV has sound but no picture?

    Check the settings on the device for a switch that might turn outputs on or off. If you cannot get any pictures, replace the cables between your TV and the input devices. Use another device with the same input cables. If you get a picture, your input device might be faulty.

    Why is my HDMI only playing sound?

    Restart the TV. Disconnect the HDMI cable from the HDMI port of each connected device. While TV is ON and the device is ON, reconnect the devices one by one, waiting until the TV recognizes the device or go to the HDMI input where the device is connected and test if TV is displaying a picture and if sound is heard.

    What causes TV not to show pictures?

    TV Turns on But No Picture The most common reason is that your TV is on the wrong input. You can typically change the input by pushing a button on your TV remote labelled “input”, “source”, or “TV/Video.” Keep pushing the button to cycle through the inputs until you have your picture back.
