Osmosis Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Hi My PC has an HDMI output which I have used to connect to the HDMI input on the Bravia X. Picture quality is good, but there is no sound via the TV speakers. I assumed there would be. Is there a setting that I have to adjust on the TV? Thanks for the suggestions.
alfalfa Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 the hdmi output from your pc is from the video card. therefore it only outputs video not sound. you will need to connect your pc's soundcard to your tv to get sound
Osmosis Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 I see that makes me feel really pretty stupid -- I should have thought of that. I suppose I assumed there would be some inter-connectivity between the two cards, since the cable supports sound. Thanks again.

From what I understand, some of the PC video cards that have HDMI out have an ability for you to feed the digital output from your soundcard to the video card, so that the HDMI connection will carry sound as you're wanting to do. It might be worth finding out whether you have a card that can do this.
Osmosis Posted April 5, 2007 Author Posted April 5, 2007 Just an update for amyone with this problem in the future. Most, if not all, HDMI capable PC's will transfer both video and audio signals. So no need for a separate audio cable. In my case, after I updated the sound card drive, all was well.

I am putting together a HTPC and would like to know how this works. The only card that I found to date that has HDMI output was a Gigabyte one and you needed to connect the videocard with an spdif patch cable to a motherboard header. I think there is a 7600 gs from MSI that has a HDMI out.
