How can I see video on my TV but Audio on a device that is closeby, say my computer? If I connect the TV and PC with HDMI, I can see display/audio from PC to the TV, but not the other way around? Is there a way I can do that?
 
Solution
Check to see if your computer has any audio input ports if not, you'll need to buy a seperate video card one with probably optical input for audio. Then run an optical cable from the audio out on the back if your TV (assuming its made within the last 10 years) into the optical audio in on your computer.

Let me get this straight, you wanna have video on your TV and the audio going out your computer while its plugged in with HDMI?

Go to the sound options in control panel, go to playback, and switch the audio output.

@Warukyure - while a channel is playing on TV (Say sports/movie etc), I'd like the video on TV, but audio on a device that is closer to me, say my computer or a speaker. Can I use HDMI port/cable to do it, or do I have to use some other combination?
