Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar>Click Playback Devices. From there you should see the devices that are connected to your laptop one of them should be for the HDMI out. Select that and then click Set Default. By default just because you are using HDMI Windows does not set HDMI audio as default it has to be done by the user.
