HDMI showing picture but TV has no sound
HDMI carries both video and audio. Check that the HDMI device is outputting audio, make sure audio output is set to HDMI, and try a different HDMI port or cable to rule out cable problems.
HDMI carries video and audio on the same cable. When video works but audio doesn't, the TV isn't detecting audio from the HDMI signal or the cable is faulty. Testing different HDMI ports and checking TV settings finds the answer.
