The audio device which plays the sound can be chosen in windows by choosing the appropriate audio output device. Follow the steps given below to change your audio output device to TV so that the sound plays on your TV instead of laptop.-
Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound, and you see a screen as shown below:
- Now Right click on your TV and select set as default device. Now your sound should start playing.
But whether audio is played on the target TV is dependent on the TV model, Some TV's might need some conifguration for the sound to play from it, otherwise the sound plays from the Laptop.
