Audio Won't Transfer to TV through HDMI (Windows 10)

Hey everyone,

I have a Lenovo W530 series laptop. It used to have Windows 7 but I finally upgraded to Windows 10 this past year. Now, I am having a problem that I never used to have. My laptop will transfer video perfectly through HDMI (I use a HDMI to MiniDP converter) but the audio will not.

I have already tried going to my Sound options but HDMI is not listed even when I select "Show Disabled Devices". I have also tried going to my device manager and made sure the drivers are present and updated for Sound and AMD High Definition Audio Device.

Does anyone have a solution? I never face this on Windows 7.

Thanks!

 
It will be the monitor/tv itself listed, not the HDMI. Right click the speaker in your taskbar, choose playback devices and select your monitor as the default.
 


Sorry I mean to say that my TV doesn't show up there. Its like nothing is even plugged in
