Hi den.

Have you changed the sound to the HDMI output?

Start -> Control Panel -> Sound

On the Playback Tab change the output to 'Digital Output Device' and click on 'Set Default'.

If you don't get sound you may have to click on 'Properties' and then 'Supported Formats' - turn off Dolby Digital -> Apply -> OK
