No Audio when Laptop is hooked up to TV using HDMI

My Laptop has an HDMI out interface. When I hooked up the PC to the TV, I would not get the audio from the TV.


Here‘s what you need to do to fix the issue:


1. Right click on the Speaker/Headphone icon in the system tray

2. Click on “Playback Devices”

3. Click on HDMI and set it as default option


4. Click OK

5. Logoff and log back on (you don’t have to restart)


You should now hear the audio.
