I'm trying to connect my PC to my Pioneer receiver and the receiver to the TV both with HDMI cables. When the TV is off, the sound is working like it should, but when I turn the TV on, the sound stops working. When I connect my PS3 with the same setup, everything works as it should. I've set the receiver as default playback device.

TV - Samsung UE46F5305 46"
Receiver - Pioneer VSX-923
PC - HP ProBook 4330s

Any help appreciated!

I'm using the HDMI out from my laptop to one of the HDMI in on the receiver, and the HDMI out from receiver to HDMI in on the TV. I've checked the manual for the receiver. I'm sure all the cables are plugged correctly, since the PS3 works with the same setup. Both the receiver and TV supports ARC. I'm pretty sure the receiver says the same whether the TV is on or not, though I'm not at home to check right now.
 
you have the cables in right.

the reason i asked about arc is that perhaps you have it turned on and instead of getting the audio from your laptop its instead trying to pull it from the tv.

try swapping to the hdmi input used for the ps3. or going into your menu (both tv and receiver) and turning ARC off. it might be labeled as audio return channel instead (ARC)

I am facing the same issue,however no luck until now:

This configuration was working fine until yesterday, however when I switched it on today there is no audio from the speakers :
My laptop is the source, the hdmi out goes to the hdmi in port of my av receiver(pioneer vsx-923); the hdmi out from my receiver is connected to the hdmi in port of the tv.
When playing a video on my laptop , the video plays correctly on the tv, however there is no audio from the speakers connected to the av receiver.
If however I switch the tv off, the audio comes fine

I have tried changing hdmi ports,checked that correct signal is selected in the av receiver.

I have tried two laptps with windows 8 and Ubuntu, both were working fine until yesterday.No changes were made in the configuration.

Please advice.
