Hey guys, a quick question... I have my pc hooked up to my TV, is it possible to output audio from the HDMI out on my graphics card? The spec of my system is in my signature.

The only point of HDMI besides copy protection is audio and video.

Ok, so I had a read through the manual for the Radeon 5770 and all it says is that the HDMI port outputs audio and video. Could someone let me know how to enable the audio output over HDMI?
Or is it perhaps the input on the TV?
Sorry for the noob questions!

Take a look in your device manager, for example NVIDIA installs audio drivers for me... I normally use my xfi card but you can see the nvidia sound drivers for hdmi there also.

I don't know if this is the case for you.. but I have an Nvidia card that also supports HDMI out (via a DVI adapter though). In order to use the audio-out feature, I have to connect an extra audio wire from the card to a digital audio connector on my motherboard.

you convert HDMI to dvi and use another another cable?
use the HDMI out to the HDMI in.
no other cable required.

The card I have (GTX 295) and the card I had before that (280) both have DVI outputs only (2x). They come with a small dvi-vga and dvi-hdmi adapter to get those outputs as needed. Because of this I can't just plug an HDMI cable into it.
Although I see that some of the new cards (or at least the 590 which I've been looking at) have a direct hdmi output which looks convenient

(using either straight HDMI to HDMI or MINI HDMI to HDMI:
In Windows 7--start > control panel > (select view as large icons) sound > right click "SONY TV" or whatever TV name comes up, set as default device, set as default communications device (do not set as default communications device if you prefer to use a seperate headset for chat, etc as W7 automatically differentiates between the two. For realism some games like flight simulator will pipe the in game air traffic control to your headphones if they are designated as communication device, while the engine noise comes from the tv)
That's it.

Hey guys. I'm trying to do this same thing, run my Geforce GT240 with an HDMI through my T.V.
The video works great, but I'd love to use my T.V's speakers.
I tried the steps you guys include, but unfortunately in my sound properties PHILIPS-1 which is my T.V, says "Not plugged in."
any hints?
EDIT: I went into my device manager, and under "Sound" I have five different entries for
"NVIDIA High Definition Audio"
everything is all enabled and "working properly"
EDIT2: I updated my drivers, and bam, just like that, the speakers on my T.V work perfectly. Excellent!

Thats excellent congratz! Its soo much better to change the sound via a control than having to either go to in game options or tab out to set out the volume on the desktop huh!?
