Hello,
I have a big problem
when I connect my computer to my TV with an HDMI cable (on Windows 7) there's no problem with the image but no sound!!!
What to do????
On the forums they say to go to control panel, sound, set HDMI audio as default but for me nothing works (especially it's impossible to set it as default!!)
I await your responses!!!!!!
Thanks a lot
