I recently bought a passive displayport to hdmi cable so that I can connect my computer to my HDTV. The video is working fine but the sound isn't going through the TV speakers. All I have under playback devices is my AMD High Definition Audio Device which goes through my HP monitor and realtek digital outputs which don't seem to work.
This is the cable:

I'm using Windows 7 and have a 7970 graphics card, and the TV is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YIB3AM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007YIB3AM&linkCode=as2&tag=av0ices-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B007YIB3AM
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: Forgot to mention that when I first connected the cable, a HDMI-to-DVI notification comes up which is strange since I'm using a displayport to hdmi cable. CCC also says that audio isn't supported when I try to enable it for my hdtv and when I turn off my main display and only try to go through the HDTV connected with the displayport to hdmi cable I can't activate any of the things under sound>playback devices.

Huh ok, I thought it could carry audio, oh well. Could I just run a 3.5mm audio cable from the computer to the tv then?
