Morning all,

Have connected my laptop to my tv with a HDMI cable and get a great picture, but no sound. When I turn on the TV my speakers turn off on my laptop, but nothing comes out of the tv speakers. Have checked and I have the latest updates to my sound card. (NIVA) What am I doing wrong. Thw divice manager shows I'm hooked up to the HDMI and audio is going out. Any ideas

to start, try plugging the HDMI cable into a different port on the TV. If still no sound, try a different HDMI cable.

ive had this problem before, make sure its plugged into the tv 1st then into your laptop, it worked for me so just a thought.

Have you looked at the play back devices (right click on speaker on task bar and select Playback devices) and make sure that HDMI output is selected as the default device instead of speakers? I don't remember this option being automatic. On my HTPC I had to manually make the change.
