Help – Outputing Laptop to HDTV

Ive recently found out about the awesome XMBC software, which would save me buying a media player if i can get it connected right.
So i connected via HDMI cable and set projection, displays fine but theres 2 problems:
1 – No Sound through TV (HDMI should pick this up right? )
2 – Some of the desktop is cut off
anyone know how to fix these?
much appreciated

Answer #1
Probably cause your graphics card doesn’t support audio to be transmitted through the HDMI output.
Answer #2
1 – Try going to control panel>sound devices and on the voice tab set the playback device to the HDMI.
2 – Can’t say for sure as I don’t have enough information,But my guess is that it’s somehow related to the resolution,What
resolution are you using? Also,What’s the full model of your TV?

thanks i figured it out
for anyone who wants to know:
1 – connect HDMI cable from laptop to HDTV
2 – set projection using windows key + P
3 – go to sound options and set HDMI as default sound (may need to reset laptop)
4 – set tv ratio to “just scan” (on tv settings)

XMBC is awesome though my 42″ plasma, plays any video file ive thru at it
