I am trying to connect my Fujitsu laptop to an Epson projector via HDMI and also the laptop to a Samsung home theatre system. As soon as I switch to view via the projector the sound switches from the surround to the projector?any help would be appreciated. Laptop only has one HDMI port btw

This solved my problem! In a PowerPoint presentation on my Lenovo laptop, I was going to have either a choppy video with sound using a USB A/B cable, or a smooth video with no sound using an HDMI cable. I l followed your directions as best I could--when I right-clicked on my volume control I went directly to "playback devices," not "settings" first--and just picked a different option (I didn't know which one to pick), and set that as the default. I had my Bose speaker connected already when I did this. Then I hooked up the projector to the laptop with the PowerPoint already on the laptop first, and it worked! I had already called a computer IT service first which told me that HDMI was the only connection I had that would smooth out the video, but they didn't know how to get the sound to work. I am overjoyed that now I will have a smooth video with audio in my PowerPoint. Thank you so much!

In my past issues with hdmi takeing control of sound from my laptop, i went to the volume control on the lower right of the screen on a Windows pc, right click it to settings and went to play back device. If your hdmi cable is pluged in then you Will have the option to select ether the hdmi or the computers original speakers. If the sound system is plugged in then it should also come up on that list as well. If you would like for me to uploaded pictures to demonstrait then i will be able to if necessary. Thanks for your time.

Please let me know the pictorial demonstration.

It would be helpful if you share the pictures, how to choose and set as default.
