Re: Need audio of laptop too

Great idea, unfortunately didn't work for me. Sound still not coming from laptop. Did you undo any other settings? Was not thinkng that I had to do the stuff you had in the opening paragraph, in particular didn't roll back the drivers, because that makes my HD monitor blurry, so you think that is critical to your solution working. either way, ,I never have had any noise come from my Dell XPS at all.

FYI, have a D-Link Mainstage and a Netgear PTV2000, same issue. Seems to be a widi sending issue.

Need audio of laptop too

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 07 May 2012 23:19:06 GMT

Have a Dell Laptop, connected to an Acer Computer monitor which I want to use a 2nd monitor in extended mode. Have it set up, and working. Problem is, when widi is on, it disconnects the audio on the laptop. Since the monitor has no speakers, that means I have no sound. Help says that some programs will in in fact send sound to the monitor and the laptop speakers so such thing is possible. Anyone have a workaround?

Solution seems to be either: have audio stream to both monitor and laptop; or disable audio stream but not video stream through widi so that video goes to monitor and audio to laptop.

Either way, seems like a fairly simple fix on Intel's part, namely give people a setting to keep laptop speakers.

Re: WiDi image on connected computer monitor fuzzy

Uninstalled, then reinstalled drivers from Intel site and monitor is now crisp. Having an audio issue now, namely, when widi connected, laptop audio is not available. Since connecting to monitor with no speakers, i have no sound. Sigh...widi has a long way to go. Anyone have a work around?

WiDi image on connected computer monitor fuzzy

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 05 May 2012 18:39:22 GMT

Have a new Dell 17' running Windows 7 pro, with WiDi, upgraded to firmware 3.??, and trying to run an Acer 23 monitor as a 2nd, extended, monitor using D-Link Mainstage or Netgear PTV 2000. Evrerything hooked up with HDMI (or HDMI to VGA cable) and getting an image as I ought to, but the image is fuzzy - barely readable for text. Have tried mirroring image, etc. but no difference. If I hook the monitor up directly using either HDMI or HDMI to VGA from laptop directly, crisp image.

Anyone know how to get a crisp image on the monitor? Thanks.
