I've been wrestling with this for a few days now. Googled my ass off and now I'm posting here.

I have a LG monitor that has an HDMI port connected to my PC via HDMI. There is no sound coming out of my speakers even though in the sound control panel I see the green bars bouncing up and down. When I connect my headphones to my external speakers 3.5mm jack i hear the sound.

I had this problem once before and updated my drivers and it solved the issue. Now it somehow resurfaced again and nothing is working so far. Here is a screen shot of whats in my sound control panel:


Update:

Ok so far i rolled back some drivers and reinstalled the Realtek audio drivers.
My sound panel looks different now. I played around with different options as setting them as default. I see green bouncing columns indicating the computer is playing sound.

I have onboard sound on my computer and it was working like that before. It somehow stopped working.

I can plug in my headphones regardless into my external speaker that has a 3.5mm jack and i can hear music

Also attached updated screen shot of my sound panel

Help me guys
