T7i disables mic when HDMI is connected

[DrDerrp]

I am using an external monitor to shoot some video and do live recordings.  At least I am trying to.  Whenever I plug in an HDMI to the camera, my mic stops working (onboard mic and external).  Any way to fix this?

What recorder? I never said anything about having a recorder.

Maybe while recording, but not for playback. On my T6S I just recorded a video and played it back via HDMI on a TV. The sound from the video played just fine on the TV.

OK, not a recorder, whatever interface you are using for "broadcasting" via HDMI, there is nothing you can do. Rebels provide no way to monitor the audio during recording.

I guess I misunderstood this statement.  It sounded like you were using an external recording monitor to me.

Sorry, no.  I am using an external display monitor. It only has a port for headphones.
