Click on the sound manager in the taskbar and change the output from speakers to HDMI.

Cheers for the quick reply but could you expand a little please, when i clicked on the sound in the task bar it brought me up speakers/headphones properties, but i cant seem to see an option to change the output

Remember, you might have to change it back to the default speakers when you unplug the laptop from the TV, might save you making a thread "can't hear sound from my laptop"
