I had the exact same problem to the point where I rather play DS1 and 3 (I still do but not for the same reason now), so one day decided to do another run and put up some more hours, but DS2 SotFS wouldn't start, I opened the game and when I press any button to start the game, it would just crash, three times in a row where enough to make me think 'probably I should google the problem' and after 3 articles saying nothing more than the rubbish those undeads carry around, I noticed the 3 of them attribute the problem to the same thing and had the same variable in common, the 3 of them where trying to play on a laptop and an external monitor or TV, so I figured, maybe something wrong it's going on with the HDMI drivers, so the solutions, finally. So it's like 2 years later but I've found either a workaround or a solution.

I have an Inspiron 7566 15' 4k laptop, Windows 10, Nvidia gforce gtx 960 m graphics card, 16 RAM, and ALL my audio and video drivers are up to date.

Is there a way I have not posted here that might fix this issue? I find it bothersome to play in windowed mode, or getting sound from my laptop while playing on the TV.

So in short words, whenever I try to play through my TV I can only do so In windowed mode, or by sacrificing sound entirely. Of course, my speakers are ALWAYS set to use the TV sound device, not my laptop speakers. So basically I can only play through the TV getting TV sound in Window mode without getting stuck on start screen. Reinstalling etc etc does not work (when does it ever?) Check game's cache integrity + steps 1,2,3 = everything is fine, but still no sound.ДЁ. Setting the same resolution for my computer and DSII, saving those changes, then connect HDMI and repeat solutions 1,2,3 = FAIL, same results.Д§. everything works fine until I go Fullscreen = NO SOUND, STUCK.Д¦. Changing the font size to 100% to all devices, Connect HDMI, Start the game = DSII windows mode.

exe file of DII and play in compatibility mode (for windows 8 and 7) using 1, 2 and 3 steps = same results.ДҐ. Connect HDMI, activate dual screens, the start game= SOUND ON LAPTOP+STUCK.ДЈ.Start game, go through start screen, connect HDMI, activate only TV screen = NO SOUNDД¤. Connect HDMI, activate only TV screen, then start game=NO SOUND+STUCK.Дў. But I want to play it on my TV so, here's what I have tried, and NOTHING has worked:ДЎ. If i plug it off and restart the game, It won't get stuck. I have noticed that when I play only on teh TV screen, theres no sound, and as long as the HDMI cable is plugged, the game wil get stuck on the start screen. There really is no good solution here, except to use separate speakers - which is what I personally recommend because I have yet to hear a monitor, or big screen TV that had anything near high-fidelity speakers or sound.I'm trying to play DSII in my TV through an HDMI cable in my laptop.

Some monitors have 'pass-through' support to where you can take the audio out of monitor 1 and feed it to monitor two, but there may be an very slight, but noticeable delay, or added 'noise' and that is not good fidelity. What you need to do is NOT run audio through HDMI, but rather use the discreet audio outputs of your computer's sound device and split the audio to both monitors/TV (or perhaps, left audio to the left speaker on the left monitor and right audio to the right speaker on the right monitor). In other words, HDMI is not the best interface for audio for most computer users - and definitely not in multi-monitor setups. The audio from such monitors is tinny, no bass, and not surround.

Monitors with integrated speakers are still emerging but due to the size of the speakers and limited built-in amplification circuitry, monitor/TV speaker simply cannot deliver 'high-fidelity' sound and are not suitable for most movie watchers. But the truth is, HDMI does NOT port to computer systems very well because most computer users use self-amplified computer speakers instead of a HT receiver that then powers home theater speakers. Monitor makers (who typically happen to also be big screen TV makers) do not want to support two digital video connections that carry the exact same video component to their monitors, so HDMI is the standard that is winning out over DVI (which carries no audio).

HDMI is a great interface that was invented for home theater audio and video equipment.
