    i have changed the os to vista ultimate.... my questions is do audio data also come from the hdmi port....
    coz i recently attached an hdmi cable to the hdmi port on my laptop and attached it to my 40inch sony hdtv..... but the sound came from the laptop only not the tv...
    i plan to buy a 12 feet or longer length hdmi cable so do i need to buy a audio cable also....?????

    thanks in advance

    You have to set sound playback device to digital output.

    As Lithus said, you have to change the output default into "digital output" through the "control" menu and "sounds" option.
