    According to the DxDiag, your sound device vendor is 10EC which is Realtek,
    so it's ok to install the Realtek HD audio driver.
    However, it doesn't enable HDMI sound.

    According to the DxDiag, your display device vendor is 8086 which is Intel.
    So you should have the "Intel Graphics" driver installed.
    The HDMI driver may be packaged with the Intel Graphics driver.
    Intel probably packaged it there, just as ATI does with it's video drivers.
    So you probably won't find a download for an Intel HDMI audio driver on the
    Intel site.

    You can try uninstalling the Intel video driver and install this driver.......

    Thanks p5, but I try to install the driver it I get an error message saying "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain appropriate driver information from the computer manufacturer"

    I'm guessing this is driver won't work for my computer? I didn't uninstall my Intel video driver because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it again it something should happen. Could that have had any affect on this process? This is frustating

    If you plug headphones into the mini-jack do you have sound?

    Yes when the laptop is connected to the monitor via HDMI and I plug my headphones in I get sound through the headphones. When the headphones are not in, I get sound through my laptop speakers.

    The reason I asked is my system does the same thing. To get the audio on the TV\monitor I had to do 2 things. 1) Make sure the TV\Monitor was receiving the audio via HDMI. There may be a setting in the menus that say PC audio (analog or digital) or PC audio on HDMI et cetera. Everyone lists it differently. 2) I had to go into the audio settings on my Windows 7 machine and select the OUTPUT audio as the HDMI, once I did that I did not hear it on the speakers or the headphones and it worked on the TV\monitor.

    On a side note several times I made the change in Windows 7 and had my headphones or external speakers plugged in and the output audio would not change or stick between reboots. You may have to disconnect your headphones and speakers or if you cannot disconnect the speakers disable the analog audio output, for this to work.

    I hope that helps -WS

    Thanks WS but the issue is that there is no HDMI icon under Playback Devices to select. I have checked to show all disabled and disconnected devices but I still have icon to select. Also, my monitor does not have any settings to allow me to change between analog and digital from a PC.

    I find this whole thing strange because under device manager it shows I have an Intel High Definition HDMI, but there is no icon for HDMI under playback devices.

    I am at a loss. Must be a faulty driver.

    Thanks WS, this is truly a frustrating thing. The laptop originally came with Vista so I wonder if something was lost or corrupted in the upgrade to Seven.

    If you right click the Volume Icon in the taskbar and choose Playback Devices it does not show a HDMI device like in my snip?

    If not, I would agree with WindowsStar. Possibly a faulty driver.
    it may be worth downloading and re-installing.
