Is there a way that I can connect an external display and have audio?
Hello. After you connect the external monitor, go to the Sound properties (Control Panel>Sound). On the Playback tab, right click on "Speakers" and make that the default device. Then audio will come out through the laptop's speakers again.
If either "Digital Output" or "HDMI Audio" is the default device then you will not hear any audio.
VGA port only transfers video signals to the HDMI adapter. Is there any audio cable connecting to HDMI adapter so that the audio signal also gets transferred.

It turned out that my microphone is not recording any sound.
Now, my C-drive is cleaned ad i lost all my apps and some data.
Any way, thanks SIR.
