Sound won't work when my MacBook is connected to my TV via HDMI

I have my MacBook connected to my HDTV via mini DVI to HDMI and the picture is perfect, but I cannot make the sound work. I've tried going to sound under system preferences but my tv is not listed as a device. Do you know how I can make the sound work?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You need an audio cable to connect your Mac's audio out port to your TV's audio in port. The minidisplayport does not send sound.
