hi guys
i have connected my laptop an acer 6920g which has a hdmi port to my hdtv a TOSHIBA REGZA I get the picture ok, but i am getting no sound? does anyone have any solution plzz

i have a tried 3.5mm stero cable and connected via my headphone socket on laptop to the headphone socket on the tv, but there is still no sound.

the only other options on the tv is there are two ports one is listed (pc hdmi audio and a digital audio socket) i have tried connecting the 3.5mm stereo cable to the hmdi audio socket, but it doesn't work either
also have the red/white/yellow socket

i thought hdmi would carry sound, as it works for my xbox.

can anyone offer any light on this situation and reccomend a cable i could buy?

many thanks
