Question Sound to hdtv
Hi, i currently have my HDTV hooked up as a second monitor and i was wondering if there was a way to make the sound come from my tv speakers instead(or along with) my computer speakers. because when i wanna watch or play something on my HDTV its weird because the sound only comes from my laptop speakers. i use a HDMI TO DVI audio/video cable (im assuming it can play video and audio at once) i set the DIGITAL OUTPUT DEVICE ( HDMI) as my default on my laptop and the meter on the side goes up and down but no sound is coming out of my tv. WHAT DO I NEED TO SET ON OR OFF? DOES A SETTING ON MY TV HAVE TO BE ON? PLEASE AND THANK YOU

The computer's audio can't be sent over a DVI connection. It's video only.
