I tried hooking up my HDMI port to my tv and the video quality is amazing but i seem not to get sound from the T.V. Ive tried with other stuff other than mac and the sound works great for them. Does any one know f there is something else im suppose to do to get the sound??
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Did you select the TV as your sound output device in System Preferences > Sound > Output?

That may indicate that your Mac is not equipped to send sound out through the video port you are using.
The original poster on this thread had a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and using the builtin HDMI port. What model and year MacBook Pro do you have, and what port are you using?
Thanks for your response! I have MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2010;
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63);
HDMI output using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter
OK, your MBP is just new enough to support multichannel audio out through the Mini DisplayPort.
In http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US "About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters" Apple says:
"On some noncompliant Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters, the audio signal may not be passed to the HDMI device. Contact the manufacturer of your adapter or see www.vesa.org for more information."
That article also lists three adapters known to conform to the VESA DisplayPort Dual-Mode Standard (one each by Moshi, Griffin, and iWires) with links to purchase them through the online Apple Store.
Thanks!
How do i get sound from the HDMI port??
