Morning. Tried yesterday helping the niece's other half with his home cinema/gaming set up. He's one of these over 40 game boys - his own TV in HIS half of the lounge, special chair for COD etc. I read somewhere the other day "FAT but loves FIFA!" :lol:

(Excuse the blue underlined bits - also posted on AfterDawn and copied over).

Anyway, having trouble getting sound via HDMI. The set up is a Lenovo laptop running Windows 8. This feeds via HDMI an Onkyo TX-SR705 amp. Then again via HDMI feeding an LG flatscreen tv.

Get perfect video but no sound.

If I connect the PS3 to the amp instead of the laptop I get sound and video. If I connect the laptop direct to the tv then again I get both sound and video. Tried swapping the two HDMI leads over. Tried resetting the Onkyo to factory default settings as it was bought second hand I figured the previous guy might have played with the settings.

Any help appreciated! Thinking laptop settings maybe?

Many thanks
