VGN-AR825E laptop to NS-LCD32 720p hdtv

[Monkah]

Hello everyone,

After lurking for a day or two and reading around the forums, I decided to sign up and see if I could get some help since using the search feature didn't prove completely useful.

I own a Sony VAIO (specs are listed in my signature), and I was interested in playing blu-ray movies on my Insignia NS-LCD32 720p hdtv from my laptop. I used the HDMI port and set up my display where everything would be displaying on the tv and not the laptop. The picture is fine and I can hear sound in the blu-ray menu. However, when I select play and the movie starts, I no longer hear sound.

I did what others have suggested in other threads and disabled my Speakers/Headphone sound and made the HDMI sound default, yet it still doesn't seem to fix the problem.

The DVD playback I am using is InterVideo WinDVD 8.0 DXVA B09.254, which came with my laptop. From what I've read, this is some pretty shoddy software.

What else can I try to get the sound working? Any help is greatly appreciated.
