Does your graphics card have HDMI audio pass-through? Do you have the HDMI audio device driver installed?

Your Windows Sound applet shows that there is an HDMI audio output available. That Digital Audio (HDMI) device needs to be set as the Default Device.

Does your monitor have the selectable audio input options as shown in the monitor's manual? Can you select the HDMI Audio option?

Try a different HDMI cable.

already did...what do you think im doing wrong...lets recap i can only hear sound when im on my headphones once i unplugged them the volume icon gets an X, my monitor has 2 jack one black one green do you think im supose to connect them? i thought HDMI was able to transfer sound too?
edit: the green one says line in and the black one has a headphone picture.. but im not uing that im using the one on the computer to plug my headphone

The HDMI standard does include audio. That doesn't mean that your motherboard is properly supporting HDMI audio.

Based on the way your using headphones:

You'll need to buy a stereo audio cable with the appropriate stereo plugs (3.5mm or 1/8-inch) on each end.

One end of the cable will need to be plugged into the green audio Line Out jack on the motherboard's rear panel connectors and the other end into the monitor's Line In jack.

In your monitor's Audio menu you will need to select PC Audio.

i finally did it, found a cable in a closet that fit the input,, i would of like it better to run it through the HDMI but i guess my motherboard couldnt do it thanks man
