I did and it did not work. It shows HDMI as the default and the little status bar shows action on the output (bouncing level bar) as if it's playing but I get no sound. I did reboot and still no luck.

I thought I'd chime in.

For my anticipated Mac desktop to 42" Panasonic plasma connection, I ordered a DVI to HDMI adapter cord. From what I understand, the HDMI signal from a computer only outputs video. For sound, you must send audio separately via an adapter cable (3.5mm/M to RCA/M).

Your laptop might have an S video port which can be connected to the comparable S video port on the TV. This connector should contain both video and audio signals.

I'll confirm when I assemble the pieces.
