Good evening blader3685 and welcome to CH

I do have a couple of questions for you.

#1... What OS (operating system) do you have (i.e XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc)
#2... Did you try plugging the laptop using the HDMI cable into another TV to see if you still have the same no sound issue.
#3... In your video driver control panel is your TV listed?
#4... When you have everything hooked up by the HDMI cable look in the device manager to see if there is any yellow or red items.
#5... How good of a quality is the cable (i am not trying to be a wise guy ) I have run into many problems with lower QT cables. 

Hope to hear from you soon, Mike

Welcome back blader3685

       Thank you for the information, I would update your chipset drivers, video drivers and last the audio drivers. If the rest is was OK then a driver maybe corrupt.

       Sometimes the windows 7 drivers specifically laptop drivers that you are better off using HP drivers to see if they have a more up to date one or it will fix the corrupt driver that you may have. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html just put in the full laptop models name and then pick the windows 7 bit version 32 or 64 bit and then find the drivers for the above

Please let us know how you make out, Mike

thank you so much hartbeatmr i pretty much updated every driver on hps website just because and i took some messing with but i got it working.

i always forget about drivers and stuff like that since its not something that usually goes wrong but oh well it works great and now i get to watch bleach on a 50inch tv instead of a 17.3inch monitor

once again just thank you hartbeatmr
