So i bought a new laptop,

4 gigs of ram
nvidea 8400gs
320 gig hd
bluray drive
vista 64bit
hdmi port

its sweet, i just hooked up to my 52" plasma to watch a movie threw the hdmi port but i couldn't get the sound to go threw the tv and not the laptop. any thoughts would be helpful

I dunno ... but I think you would need a cable connecting your sound card to your plasma tv's sound input. HDMI doesn't carry audio that I know of.

I could be totally mistaken though.

EDIT: check out this site see if it answers your question.

HDMI should carry audio, but the Nvidia GFX on your laptop is probably the culprit. (ATI 3XXX cards have built-in 5.1 audio, Nvidia cards have plugs which allow you to pass audio through).

nvidia cards only have the bypass on desktop parts i believe.

Yep, I have 4 sources of audio thanks to that :wink: (and I still have to use this Xfi)
