No Audio When Connecting Computer Video to TV, From USB-C to HDMI

Perhaps you are trying to stream a video or pay per view sports game from your computer to the HDMI port on your TV. The video displays fine, but the audio doesn't play through the TV. Maybe the audio only plays on your computer or laptop.

I recently had this problem while streaming a soccer game from a pay per view site.  The solution was fairly simple.  The TV had not been recognized by the computer as an audio device.  The solution in Windows 11 was to start the Device Manager app,  and then click the icon for "Scan for hardware changes."

Use the Windows search button to find Device Manager. 

Start Device Manager

Click icon for "Scan for hardware changes"

Device manager will find your TV and add the correct audio driver.  

It worked for me, and I hope it works for you. Let me know in the comments.
