Sound is come from my pc speaker and I would transfer to TV speakers.
Can I do that without new cable?
(I have hdmi->dvi transformer)

that is what is causing it then. DVI doesn't carry audio over like a pure HDMI connection does. the adapter is cutting off the ability to carry over the audio signal from the HDMI input. you would need a straight HDMI-HDMI connection to get both audio and video working

HDMI cables are able to carry both sound and video so as long as your setup is right for your TV it will work. if the sound doesn't automatically get routed to the TV and you are using windows check your "playback devices" and you should find the right sound source

You have a NVIDIA video/sound card. When playing through TV just make that as your default playback setting. Should be smooth sailing from there.
