Under your sound settings, you need to change it to Digital Output device. http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3416/~/configuring-a-pc-to-send-audio-via-hdmi-in-windows-vista-and-windows-7

thanks teflon05 works perfect now am getting sounds from the tv but not the computer but that's ok I guess I would have to manually change from computer to tv

Edit : do you know if this setup can cause any kind of damage to the tv or the computer having the computer and tv on display 1/2 multiple monitors

I don't think it's possible to get sound from the PC & TV both, when using digital pass-thru. If it is, I don't know how to do it, although someone else here might. And no, that set up should not cause any damage.

ok thanks for the help on getting the sounds to my tv teflon05 :)

teflon05 do you know how I can fix the pc display for the tv cause pc screen does not fit right on the big screen stuff are cut off to the side the only way I can fix this is setting the tv to just scan but I would like to be able to keep the tv at 16:9 I have the pc set to display 1/2 multiple monitors
