Hello folks,
my query is I have a PC with Asus/NVDIA VGA card which has HDMI output,at the other hand I have a sony Home-theater system with DVD player/amplifier which also has an HDMI output,I have already connected my pc to home-theater system over AV cord and its working fine,but I have read HDMI transfers better Audio than AV cords,so I want to connect my PC via HDMI cable.
but when I try connect Home theater to PC via HDMI,my PC dosen't detect any sound output..I tried by changing its modes from DVD,TV/VIDEO/AUDIO/USB but none of them plays the audio from my pc.
Please guide me through this.

In all probability you will need to have a audio pass through in the DVD player having an HDMI in. If thats not there audio wont be extracted. Most AV Amps havevthat but DVD/Amps , I highly doubt.

The HDMI of your HT is for output to TV only. It won't work with the hdmi of your GPU.

you are connecting one output to another output, it wont work.
