Sound not output from tablet connected to HDMI external display

[FergusL]

Hi All,

When I plug my Samsung S6 tablet into a USB3 hub, then HDMI to external display I can't get any sound out of the tablet 

The only audio output showing is 'Headphones'. When not connected to hub the tablet shows the audio output 'This tablet' and works perfectly. 

Any ideas ?!?!!

Many thanks in advance :)

Hi, Welcome to the Samsung Members Community Canada. The setup which you are trying to achieve doesn't support it. We suggest you to try connecting via dex.

Change the default audio output (speaker) as follows:

1. Select the Quick Settings button (▲) at the bottom right of the Samsung DeX home screen.

2. Select [Audio output] from the Samsung Connect panel below the Quick Settings. You can check the list of devices where audio output is currently available.

3. Select [Display device] to play sounds via the connected display (TV or monitor).

you're 100% wrong Georgine.

Thank you. This worked. A bit of a pain

Do we know why this is happening? Never happened before until there was an update 🫣

Thanks 👍

That doesn't work for me. My Tab S10 Ultra is connected to a dock, so I can use a wireless Keyboard and mouse and to charge it. I don't use an external display.

What worked for me tho is, going under developer setting and under Media, activating "deactivate USB-Audiorouting"

This way I can play sound over the Tablets speakers.

Connecting via Dex fixed the issue. Thanks Georgine. It worked.
