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, it worked!
I just reset my MacBook and it seemed to fix the problem
Mine worked after restarting with the hdmi cable plugged in.
THIS is it...thanks. Perfectly explained, unlike many of these others.
After quitting the coreaudiod, restart your computer. I found I have to do this now every time I connect to a different external audio source, which is very annoying.
when MacBook is connected via HDMI spotlight search "sound" ---> select "output"---> check and see if under "output" has your tv selected
MacBook HDMI to TV has no sound
