I bought a 55 inch Samsung LCD, and a new Toshiba laptop(work) and when I connect Laptop to TV via HDMI, I have picture but no sound. The only sound is coming from my Laptop. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Not all laptops support this. Some that do will automatically sense when the HDMI is connected and will change the audio device. Others require it to be manually switched.

While the HDMI is connected, go to Control Panel (switch to classic view) > Sound. In the playback tab, look for a device that has "HDMI" in the name. Select it and then click the "Set Default" button. If no device appears that looks correct, then your laptop may not support this or may not have the required drivers loaded.
