Hi, I have several of these. In no case have I needed to plug a monitor into the device. It just acts like a soundcard, to set it up on Windows, go to the playback devices, either through right-clicking the volume control in the system tray and clicking "playback devices" or through the rundll32 command, whatever you usually use. You should find the HDMI as one of the choices, though it may have a different name which includes things like "display audio" or something like that. You can then select it as default if it isn't already. Alternatively, you can choose the HDMI sound device from whatever audio playing application/screen reader you want to use through it. I don't know about TV boxes, this depends on the box, I'm afraid. Most will simply start using the device as soon as it is connected, but if there are several HDMI out ports on the box, it may require setup. HTH, Aman

I connected it to a digital tv box as well as to the pc and even gave it power but how can I configure pc and/or digital tv box to see it? In both cases I didn't connect a monitor, is it necessary to use the latter for it to work or does it function like usb sound card? -- Georges Zeinoun Timmerv. 6A ITR LGH1102, 54163 SKÖVDE SWEDEN Tel: +46 (500) 48 29 29 Mobile: +46 (70) 366 63 29 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
