Hi guys, looking for a quick fix here.

I just connected my PC to my Panasonic TH50PZ77U HDTV via HDMI cable and there is no sound coming through the TV speakers. I've tried a bunch of stuff and cannot seem to get it to work.

Also there's black bars around my screen. It seems as though the picture is not stretching all the way to the edge of the screen even though I have the resolution set properly(1080p). I've provided a picture of the screen issue below and I would love to get it fixed but right now the sound issue is much more important as I have something coming on tonight that I really want to watch and enjoy on the big screen.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

for the audio you need to go into the control panel, audio or sound settings, playback device and find the hdmi option and right click on it and set it to default, or in the media player you are using, set it's default audio to hdmi if you only want that media player to use the hdmi.

for the black bars, you need to go into the control panel for the video, either amd or nvidia, and go to gpu scaling and play around with those options to get it to fill in fully.

Hi, I appreciate the help but could you be a bit more descriptive? I have no idea what the hell I'm doing here. :/

I'm using an AMD GPU if that helps at all.
