Hi

I have a SkyFire 14" IV, with i5-4210m and GTX-850m on Windows 8.1. When plugging my laptop into my TV via HDMI there is no sound out the TV, it comes out of the speakers. There is no option for HDMI out anywhere. How do I solve this?

Thanks

Have you been to the audio settings in Nvidia Control Panel?
Have you been to Windows sounds and right clicked to show all playback devices?
If you see a relevant output in Windows sounds open properties and makes sure the level is all the way up.

Could be different for you but I get this issue EVERY time I connect my laptop to the TV.

What resolves it for me is when I get the issue I remove the HDMI plug from the laptop for a few seconds then reconnect it.

I don't know why this works but for me it does.

There are no audio settings in the Nvidia control panel, only 3D settings, and there is no mention of any HDMI audio connection in the window sound thing.

In windows sound panel right click on "speakers" and tick the boxes "show disabled devices" and "show disconnected devices"
If no option is now showing for HDMI the device could be under another name like SPDIF,right click on this and set as default,try that with all devices showing, one at a time.
Failing that you may need to reinstall audio drivers and/or check your TV manual,with some TV's the sound only works through one of the TV HDMI ports.

I fixed it - it was a problem with drivers and Nvidia optimus. It was disabled in Intel settings as it probably thought it was up to the GTX to do it, but it was also disabled in the GTX.

I uninstalled everything to do with Intel on my laptop and restarted it, then windows update reinstalled Intel drivers, but then I reinstalled the Intel drivers provided by PCS, along with audio drivers again (just for the sake of it), and then when I restarted my laptop the HDMI choice appeared in the sound options.

Thanks everyone :)
