Check the manual for your vid card. On some you use its setup software / drivers to select the audio source going out to the TV via the HDMI cable, because some cards have both a pass-thorhg option for audio from a different source, and their own internal audio output system.

Also check your TV's manual. Some have ways to set whether the audio comes from the HDMI cable or from its external input connectors, even when you select HDMI as your video source.
