    hey, just got a new desktop pc with hdmi out, connected it to the tv and cant get any sound, tried changing all the settings and nothing works.
    The pc's sound plays through a audigy se soundblaster, so it only shows that as a playback device when connected to the tv.
    The graphics card i have is a Shapphire Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks.

    Unless your mobo supports hdmi sound to gfx card, then all you will get is video Im afraid. Can you post the mobo/gfx combinationof your pc?

    The Shapphire Radeon HD 4670 Ultimate will handle the HDMI graphics but it sounds (no pun intended) clearly like the sounds card is not up to the same spec'.
    Ideally you need a card that will allow you to attach an optical cable to a 5.1 surround sound system or a lower spec' card that will allow you to do similar by standard sound cables.

    The 4670 should have a sound card built on to it (one of the big selling points for these cards). Go to control panel > sound. In there you'll see a few different devices. You need to set the correct device as the default device. In mine it's the "Digital audio (s/pdif)".

    thanks for the replies
    when i go into sound in the cotrol panel there are 2 playback devices, speakers and digital audio interface both with sb audigy underneathe.
    the speakers are set as the default but when you change it to the digital audio interface theres still no sound.

    I have a 4870HD and to to get sound through hdmi I had to download a HDA HDMI driver (don't have a link, sorry), then change the audio output device to HDA HDMI Out on the motherboard audio control panel (Realtek HD Audio Manager for me). I think you can do it through the Control Panel audio too. Hope this helps. :)

    There should be another in your playback devices when the hdmi is hooked up to the pc and the tv is displaying your desktop.
    It looks like you don't have the driver installed
