hi all, can anyone please help me setting up dell laptop with hdmi cable out to sony bravia 46xl3100 lcd tv have no sound coming out of tv set.

I have run the hdmi cable from laptop to the tv however when playing youtube etc through to tv have no sound from tv any advice please?

i have rebooted laptop and still no sound.

I assume you've connected them via a DVI to HDMI cable? If so then the reason you aren't getting sound is because DVI doesn't deliver sound, you need to also hook up the headphones/digital/optical sound out of your laptop to your TV.

firstly u may want to check ur laptop is set to 'sound out' and then check ur tv has been set to receive audio streams from ur laptop.
hmm has ur laptop hdmi out?

laptop has hdmi out port & tv has hdmi port at side of tv i'm using 5 metre long hdmi cable purchased from DSE

Try going into Control panel and to Sound an ensure you have your playback device set to digital output.

I send audio to my Samsung LCD TV through the HDMI cable without problems.

most hdmi to hdmi via cable hook up can produce visual and sound just got to figure out the settings in the control panel if useing pc/laptop in my case it was dell 1526 laptop to bravia lcd tv.

can also now do video confrencing if needed onto the big lcd "i feel like rove"

Can anyone please explain how you were able to fix the sound when watching a video on youtube? I can get sound fine when I watch a video I have saved on my computer or a dvd, but whenever I want to watch youtube or anything else that has an online video, the sound comes through the speakers on the laptop. I have the HDMI audio set to default, so that's not the problem.

Thanks!

what settings were changed if any, in the default setting for hdmi? I have hdmi set as default right now and i can't get sound from websites. do you think it's a flash player setting from the websites?

ok i'm using vista the procedure i followed

connect hdmi cable to pc hdmi output & tv hdmi port

select hdmi output on youre tv

log onto youtube on laptop/pc

left click the sound icon on laptop/pc then click mixer make sure the HDMI is set as youre default sound & sound output is activated if this is the way youre sound output is set you should be able to hear audio from youre tv set

I'm new here, please be nice it can easily be enabled by holding down left mouse on volume icon, selecting playback devices, and then selecting HDMI audio as default device. Remember, you will have to restart any programs to enable them to use HDMI
