Hello. I got my Pavilion last week and not able to hear audio when I use the HDMI input. I tried 2 different sources (laptops), both of which work well with the HDMI of my TV. I can see the video fine, but I cannot get the audio to work. I have looked at the audio configuration of the laptops, and they seem ok (and state HP All-in-One). Any advice?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
-
Connect the HDMI cable to your computer and to your output device.
-
In Windows, search for and open Control Panel.
-
Click Sound, and then click the Playback tab.
-
The Sound window opens. On the Playback tab, select Speaker/Headphone or Speakers and Headphones, and then click Set Default.
NOTE: Use Default Devices for audio output devices such as headphones or speakers. Use Default Communication Device for making and receiving phone calls.
-
Select the output device connected with the HDMI cable, and then click Set Default.
-
Right-click the output device connected with the HDMI cable, and then select Show Disconnected Devices. The HDMI cable must be connected when it is configured.
-
To view all the available sound devices, right-click any device shown in the Sound window and select the Show Disabled Device and Show Disconnected Devices options.
