The HDMI cable would stop transmitting sound once hooked up to a television if the television and laptop require another, separate, cord for the audio than the visual. The user may also need to set the television speakers on default rather than the computer or laptop speakers being set as default.

∙ 14y agoHDMI is designed to carry audio with the video signal. There can be a few reasons why the sound isn't working. Here are some suggestions:
If the signal source is using a DVI connector, there will be no sound. Although DVI and HDMI are compatible, DVI does not support sound. Similarly, HDMI - DVI cables are available. If there is a DVI connection anywhere in the signal chain, audio won't make it past the connector.
Many televisions have an option to accept analog audio alongside the HDMI video signal. Check to see what audio input is selected. This is normally in the setup menu on the television. If the audio input option is set to analog or external, the sound on the HDMI connector won't be used.
Make sure that there is an audio signal in the content you are playing. If there is no sound track, there simply won't be any sound.
It is possible that cable or equipment might be faulty. If you can, try different cables, a different source and a different display to see which component is not handling the sound.

Is it possible to use HDMI cable for video and regular cables for audio at the same time when playing Blu-ray movies?
Yes it is. Just make sure your other inputs are in the same source on your reciever. I do this occassionally with my computer. Run the video through HDMI and audio through RCA's. You get way better sound through HDMI so I would try and just use the one cable so you dont have to get more then one cable. But if your doing something different it should work.
