Hi Pedro
     Ok I am sure some one here will be able to help you. However if you want somewhat sooner results you will need to be sure that no one else has had this issue before and it is not already in the forum. So That being said I suggest that you read the rules and then come back and edit your post accordingly.

You will get more informed information for your issue to help possibly resolve it that way than simply  putting in what you have here.

Specifically we need more information about your PC than just the make and model. We also need to know which OS (Operating System) you are running (LL 2.0, LL 1.08, Win 7, Dual boot, etc.)
Thanks.

Hello!

This sounds like a driver issue with video and audio drivers. We will need to see a system report to pinpoint the exact issue.

If you create one (Menu > System > Create System Report) and cut-and-paste its contents into your reply, we can proceed further...

I use my Acer C710 Chromebook hdmi on my 60 inch Big screen TV. Not for Netflix. I have other ways to stream media.


Any whos. That is irrelevant. As I usually am. I use a Hotkey Combo to bring up the netbooks screen on the TV.
Linux has not caught up yet on these chromebooks like the hdmi and touchpads so I leave the default ChromeOS
on it since it just works for what I use it for. Mainly a media box.

Cntrl+F4 is my hotkey for hdmi to tv in ChromeOS on that Acer C710.
Yours will probably be different from mine.
