No sound via HDMI from my iMac's mini port

[moskies]

I bought an HDMI cable and hooked my iMac 24 to my giant LCD display but I get no sound to my big screen.

What's up?

In the mean time I've moved my iMac external speakers to my TV area so that I may stream play movies from Netflicks account.

I believe you are using a switch cable (DVI to HDMI)?

Note: The DVI port on the iMac does not contain sound of any kind.

The only built in sound-out port on the iMac is the headphone mini jack

yea just extending that last reply.

Not just on the iMac but in general DVI is just for video and never supports audio.
