5. Restart Devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of both the laptop and TV can resolve the issue.
2. TV Connect Laptop by Wireless
For wireless connections like Miracast, Chromecast, or screen mirroring, follow these steps to fix sound issues:
1. Ensure Both Devices Support Audio: Verify that your wireless connection method supports audio streaming (e.g., Miracast or AirPlay).
2. Check Volume Settings: Ensure the volume isn't muted on both the laptop and TV, and that the TV's audio output isn't set to an external speaker.
3. Reconnect Wirelessly: Disconnect and reconnect your laptop to the TV via the wireless method to reset the connection.
4. Update Wireless Adapter Drivers: On your laptop, update the Wi-Fi or wireless display adapter drivers in Device Manager.
5. Use a Different Wireless Protocol: If one method isn't working (e.g., Miracast), try another like Chromecast or Apple AirPlay.
