    Its not all graphics card that support sending sound true the HDMI.

    1.Have you verified, if yours can ?
    2.Check in device manager if all drivers are installed ?
    you can see there too in the sound devices if there is one for HDMI
    3. Did you go in Control Panel / Sounds and audio devices / audio tab ?

HDMI sends both video and audio. Once you have selected a digital output as your sound option (on computer in sound settings) then hook up your HDMI cable to computer and TV. Then (her is the trick) restart your computer. Once you restart, you should be all set. Good luck.

When using an HDMI to DVI cable their is no audio that comes through that cable. Even if you use HDMI to HDMI most computers only have video output from HDMI. You will have to use a seperate audio cable for you to be able to get the sound to work. Depending on the output you have on your laptop you may have to resort to hooking up a pair of speakers to the headphone jack.

Hope this helps.

Adding HDMI port to laptop

If your model has the motherboard components to support a HDMI port, you could get a socket soldered by a laptop specialist, but I doubt it has. Perhaps cheaper and easier to buy a VGA to HDMI converter from Maplin

restart pc in safe mode, change video back to standard VGA of HD VGA video. PC has to be in HDMI mode and your TV has to be PC mode. Use a DIV to HDMI connector or better yet HDMI to VideoPort if your TV supports it, HDMI almost never gives you the screen output you really want anyway.

You may have to go into the TV setup menu and change a setting for Sound (or Audio) that tells the TV which input to use (HDMI or component) for sound. Usually the HDMI connection will work automatically but if you connect cables to Audio L/R that may override the HDMI sound input.

WRONG!!!! do not listen to 002. All you need to do is:

1. right click on volume in lower left
2. click on playback devices
3. choose HDMI
4. click set as default.

Same goes for when you're done watching television, just go back in and set regular computer speakers as default.

How to hook up a hp pavilion laptop to a hdtv

if it worked fine at some point then it should work fine now... i use hdmi to hdmi from my laptop to tv all the time dvi would only cause quality loss.

the first thing i would try would be to change your resolution on your laptop to a couple different settings. a lot of times, if its not set to one thats compatible with your tv, you won't see anything.

if that doesn't work, go to personalization and open the tab that says "connect an external display" and toy around with it. but yeah it doesn't sound like you have any hardware problems there.

hope this helps
