PC to KDL-32EX401 Audio Problem

I have connected my PC to my TV via a DVI to HDMI and coaxial cable, however, no audio comes through the TV. The soundcard/cable is not at fault as audio comes through other speakers fine. I have also changed the "PC Audio Input" setting on my TV to "HDMI 1" (this also means I've connected to the HDMI 1 port on the TV). So, why can't I hear anything when (theoretically) I have the correct setup?

On the NVIDIA Control Panel, it says the connector is HDMI-HDTV. How do I change it to DVI-HDTV?

I dont think you can, as technically you are connected to the TV via HDMI.  You need to check your Audio settings to ensure that audio via HDMI is disabled.

I have only one option for playback, Realtek HD Audio output.

Ensure that you have enabled "Disabled Devices" just in-case, as one of the options that is disabled, needed enabling? (see my first picture screenshot)

 

Also in XP's control panel, there might be a Realtek HD Audio Manager.  Run that, and you "might" be able to change some settings?

There are no disable drivers in the device manager, if that's what you mean?

No, what im getting at is in Sound settings, if you right-click in an empty space, and enable "Show Disabled Devices"  as it may have more options:
