The V in DVI stands for video only and thus to hear anything the RCA analog cables are needed for the audio portion of any source.
The HDMI cable carries both video and audio and it should be possible to do what you want. You have to select the input channel to which the TV's HDMI port is connected. That should be in the manual that came with your TV. Once you do that, the audio and video output from your computer
Had you included the TV's model number (as you did for the laptop) I could have provided more detailed information by downloading the manual myself and going to the exact page to which I would have referred you. For example, page 92 of the laptop's manual gives the following information for connecting the computer to the TV via HDMI:
**********************************************
If your TV is equipped with an HDMI port, you can then use an HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the TV to your computer. To connect an HDMI-compatible TV to your computer:
1 Plug the power cord of your TV into an AC outlet.
2 Plug one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the computer and the other end to the TV.
3 Switch the input channel of the TV to external input.
4 Set up the TV configuration system.
If a device driver other than the one provided by Sony is used, the image will not be displayed and the audio will not be heard. Always use the device driver provided by Sony for updates.See the manual that came with your TV for more information on installation and use.
You can connect the HDMI out to an AV amplifier and audio will be heard through the AV amplifier and then another HDMI cable can be connected from the AV amplifier to the TV for the display.
If the display resolution of your computer is more than 1024 x 768 pixels, a part of the image cannot be displayed on your TV. If you want to display the full image, change the display resolution of the computer to 1024 x 768 pixels or lower. If your TV is equipped with an HDMI port and a DVI-D port, we recommend that you use the HDMI port. The HDMI cable carries both video and audio signals.
********************************************************
Look at step 3. You have to go through the list of various inputs and find the "channel" that the HDMI uses. Note the other dispaly settings that follow that need to be made to properly made to project the computer output on the TV.
Don't blame the technology. It offers so many choices and there needs to be a system to manage them. Yours is an interface issue for which simply connecting cables is not enough. That is why manuals are provided and need to be studied carefully.
