HDMI is a connection standard that is capable of supporting digital audio over the same wire (in certain versions), however it's not required nor supported by all devices.

If your laptop does not support the output of audio over HDMI, you'll need to use the stero hookup on your notebook for sound in conjunction with HDMI for video. To do this, you'll need a 1/8" to stereo RCA cable,or 1/8" to 1/8" stereo cable (depending on what the input is like on your TV).  Connect the 1/8" plug to the headphone output on your laptop and the other RCA stereo or 1/8" lead to the audio input where you've plugged in your HDMI cable. Adjust the volume settings on the laptop and TV as necessary to get decent sound.

Hi, i also have a vgn fw290 and connected a HDMI to a sony xbr6 LCD and when in DVD there is no video but i have communication on PC, is there anything that i have to do in the laptop to be able to watch dvds.

I have had the same problem. I just told my laptop to use the HDMI as the main sound. Like you can do to prioritise printers.

I did the whole, control panel, hardware and sounds, manage audio, enabled it, and its still not working... help? I also have windows vista.
