Hi everyone, I have a laptop connected to my Samsung PN50A550S1FXZA TV via HDMI. It's connected to HDMI port 3. I can see the image perfectly but the sound can only play through the TV speakers. I want to play this sound on my Yamaha RX-V567 receiever so I can hear it through my home theater's sound system. The A/V receiever is connected to a Blu-Ray player and U-verse box, and when I change which sound I hear on the receiver, it changes which one I see on the TV. Is there any way to hear the sound directly from the TV so I can hear my laptop on my home theater sound system?

My laptop is running Windows 8 if it's relevant.
 
Solution
You can plug the laptop into the receiver with HDMI instead of directly to the TV.
You can also connect the audio out of the TV to the receiver.
And lastly you can connect the headphone out of the laptop to the receiver for audio.
