I have my LapTop connected to a TV via HDMI. It seems no matter what I must choose between either hearing audio through my LapTop or hearing the audio through my TV. Is it not at all possible having both work at the same time ?

Can you play sound from speakers and the HDMI at the same time on Windows 10?

Answer (1 of 3): Yes, you can. In Windows there is a “recording device” known as Stereo Mix which can be used to achieve your goal.

According to Drivers & Software Support | Dynabook there are drivers for Conexant and IDT audio only, so that means your laptop does in fact not have a Realtek sound controller. Install the right driver from that page and see if a stereo mix input device is available. If not, another way would be to use a virtual audio cable and and software that uses that virtual audio cable as its input and both HDMI and speakers as its output.
