Connected PC to TV - no sound through TV though

[sayagain28]

I have connected my pc to my tv with a hdmi to dvi adaptor. I have a P8Z68-V LX motherboard with onboard audio. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-20S3000 20 inch widescreen TV.

When I rightclick on volume icon and then playback devices I get 3 options:
Speakers
Realtek digital output (realtek high definition audio)
Realtek digital output(optical) (realtek high definition audio)

I have tried updating sound driver and chipset driver.

Can anyone help?

DVI doesn't carry audio so you'll need to run an audio cable from the PC to an audio input on the TV. Are you using a dedicated gpu or the igpu?

Are you sure? Because I think I remember being able to do it before on another TV a few years ago.

Its integrated GPU.

Wait, hdmi at pc and dvi at tv?

or dvi at pc to hdmi to tv?

Coz most gpus these days support sending audio over dvi (not all) but TVs generally don't (this statement may be horribly outdated). So if you're sending DVI to the hdmi of the TV it might work depending on gpu. If you're doing it the other way around you might have to try this.

Integrated GPUs doing audio over DVI . . . well, if it has worked before I suppose this one does that. Although you may need to post your specific cpu for someone to track that down.

I meant dvi at pc.

But now I just found a hdmi slot on my pc - and so that works now.
