I just installed a gigabyte hd4350 in my hp a1520n desktop. picture looks good, everything works, however when the hdmi cable is connected to the my samsung lcd tv, i get no sound through my computer speakers. even when im not using the tv as a monitor. i get sound through the tv though. when i unplug the hdmi cable from the tv, i get sound on the computer.

is there a fix for this? i have onboard sound enabled in the bios.

is it possible to get sound through both the computer speakers and tv speakers at the same time?

in the sound and audio device properties, under the audio tab, default device, i see both realtek hd audio output and ati hd audio rear ouput when the hdmi cable is connected. when its not connected, just realtek hd audio is available

I dont see the point of that but you could always use your headphone jack for your pc speakers.

Try right clicking on the speaker icon in the tray and then on playback devices. There you can choose between HDMI or computer speakers..........
