I always seem to have problems getting audio working through HDMI cable to external monitor / TV.
This time in particular, it's from my Surface Pro 3, to my TV (testing for tomorrow's HS volleyball banquet slide show)

Cable:  Display Port to HDMI, from MonoPrice. Confirmed it DOES support audio in the cable. This is the cable I have.

Searched to the end of the internet, and found a grasp-at-straws attempt, and tried it.

Uninstalled Intel Display Audio drivers and reinstalled.
Combine that with a reboot, and Changing the Default Format did the trick.

#1 - Uninstall drivers and reinstall.
Device manager, Audio inputs and outputs.
SAMSUNG (Intel Display Audio).
Right click, uninstall.

#2 - Change the Default Format of the Audio
Plug in the Display Port to HDMI cable.
Control panel, sound, choose the device where you are trying to send audio (and presumably the video is already working).
Right click and set it as the Default Device
Right click Properties, Advanced.
Change Default Format down to the first setting (16-bit, 32000 Hz FM radio works for me, probably depends on the device you're sending audio to).
Click TEST to see/hear if it works.

















Prosper.
