I can connect my tv to my macbook pro through a HDMI cable and the picture shows up perfectly. However, the sound goes through my laptop speakers and not through the tv. When I go into Preferences --> sound --> output, there is not option to select for the hdmi, just the internal speakers. How can I get the sound to go through the tv instead?

It also works if you press Option key with the volume button on the keyboard or you can go into the System Prefs and change the sound output preference. Disconnecting the HDMI cable returns the setting to default.
Thanks Andrew, I tried all the steps above but nothing - the VLC tip worked a treat - I did already have VLC as it was a must on my PC, looks like it wins again! :-D
I just fixed this on my late-2011 13-inch Pro by restarting with the mini-DP-to-HDMI adapter plugged in, and my HDMI device turned on.
I'm having a hard time getting my tv to come up as an option. what do i need to do to get it to appear?
thanks
I Use a "Behringer UCA202" usb audio device works great with an AV receiver 7.1 surround sound via toslink optical cable. Thx, dts , Dolby digital, pro logic, etc. they all work.
This says it doesn't work prior to 2010 models.

Kimberly, can you hear through the audio out port with headphones?
Hurray for JasonRay307. This works perfectly. Thanks. Saved major aggravation.
@onarcok that was the only solution for my situation. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks a bundle, got my HDMI playing as it should!
Thanks for posting this! This solved my problem.
great tip- only problem for me is that I can't get my TV to come up as an option
I have the problem where my hdmi is not being recognized. Any thoughts? I'm only getting internal speakers and AirPlay (I have Apple TV as well).
Make sure to unplug anything out of your headphone jack. I did this as a last resort, and the audio via HDMI turned on like magic.
Hey, check out my previous reply to ashhhbee. This should work. Remember though, when the mac is connected to the tv, it should display the mac desktop, and not be functioning as a second display.
The MBP has to be at least a 2010. Prior to that HDMI didn't carry sound. You'd need another cable from the headphone jack on your Mac to Audio In on the TV.
MacBook HDMI to TV has no sound
