I just started palying around with an 1080p HDMI TV. Desktop audio comes out the PC jacks 
SoSE audio comes out of the TV (terrible speakers) 
how do I get it the PC jacks on all the time?
I have an MSI mother board, on board RealTek audio, and HD 4850 GPU
Need a little more info. What are you trying to do? Play game over TV with audio over TV?
This is what I use to go from sound card to stereo CD input. (1/8 Stereo to RCA L/R) Then if you want headphones use the Stereo headphone jack, not computers. Plug Video card into TV and you should be good.
No, I want stereo from the PC all of the time.
Using HDMI directs SoSE audio to the TV.
I don't want to listen to the TVs crappy speakers.
if using win7/vista, you should be able to open the playback devices dialog and set your speakers to default...mebbe...
Thanks crash. I have XP. I tried the control panels, but no help. I'll look again when I get home.
Well I have not used HDMI yet but hooked up a friends system and the HDMI will transmit audio and video.
You should have a different type of output on your video card that will connect to the TV without audio. My friends TV has a computer monitor input as well as S-Video. The computer monitor cable is probably the better option. Beware there is signal loss if the cables are to long. I think S-Video was 25ft before any loss and different cables can be different lengths before signal loss.
It's your video card taking over control. That's the reason desktop audio is still going through the default audio port, it's not connected to the video stream through the drivers. There's probably a setting in there with the rest of the driver suit that will disable or bypass the hdmi driver in some manner. If nothing else, uninstall and reinstall the drivers, leaving off the audio part.
psychoak: I can't find a setting for it in the Radion Catalyst control panel. It's not important enough to do the driver thing. I think I will buy a bigger PC Monitor:) A TV might have more frames in it's video processing pipeline, creating more latency (16.6ms delay per frame). It could be deadly in some games.
myfist0: Your suggestions would not be 1920x1080 resolution.
Just got home... and fixed it in the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel. Just how many audio control panels are there??? Master Volume, Realtek, and now this.
If you play any FPS's get a good sound card that is 5.1 capable. and then get a nice set of headphones that are 5.1 capable. For gaming good headphones will trumph any large speaker system.
