I get no audio from my smart TV when I hook my computer up to the TV via HDMI or Thunderbolt. In Playback I only have the Realtec Speakers showing. Also Bang & Olefsen Audio Control. The video works fine.

Thank you for posting on 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.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
