How do I control HDMI volume?

Answered by Michael Wilson

To control the volume of your HDMI device, you can make adjustments to your computer’s sound settings. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Open the Control Panel: You can access the Control Panel by clicking on the Start menu and searching for “Control Panel” in the search bar. Once you find it, click on it to open.

2. Select “Hardware and Sound”: In the Control Panel window, you will see different categories. Look for the category labeled “Hardware and Sound” and click on it.

3. Open the Sound settings: Within the “Hardware and Sound” category, you will find various options. Look for the section called “Sound” and click on it. This will open the Sound settings window.

4. Navigate to the Playback tab: In the Sound settings window, you will see multiple tabs at the top. Click on the “Playback” tab to view the list of audio playback devices connected to your computer.

5. Select your HDMI device: In the Playback tab, you should see a list of audio devices. Locate your HDMI device from the list. It might be named something like “HDMI Output” or “Digital Output.” Click on it to select it.

6. Set HDMI device as default: After selecting your HDMI device, click on the “Set Default” button located at the bottom-right corner of the window. This will set your HDMI device as the default audio playback device.

7. Adjust the volume: Once your HDMI device is set as the default playback device, you can control its volume. To do this, click on the “Properties” button located just below the list of playback devices.

8. Adjust volume levels: In the Properties window, you will see various tabs. Click on the “Levels” tab. Here, you can adjust the volume level of your HDMI device by moving the slider up or down. You can also mute the device by clicking on the speaker icon.

9. Apply and save changes: After adjusting the volume to your desired level, click on the “Apply” button to save the changes. Then, click on the “OK” button to close the Properties window.

By following these steps, you should be able to control the volume of your HDMI device through your computer’s sound settings. It’s worth noting that some HDMI devices also have their own volume controls, such as physical buttons on the device itself or a remote control. So, if you’re still unable to control the volume, you may need to refer to the user manual or documentation of your specific HDMI device.
