Would like to use my tv and soundbar for my windows7 laptop monitor & sound system. But my laptop only has HDMI and EARBUD jacks out? Can I still do this? The tv is a smarttv purchased only last year same with soundbar.
 
Solution
Hook the laptop to the TV with the HDMI connection. Make that an extended display not your main one. Set the resolution of the PC to resolution of the set. You may have to route the audio through the HDMI in the video or audio control panel.
