Hi guys. Been a long time browser of the forum and just finished my first mini itx build. I don't have a graphics card yet so I'm running this off the motherboards integrated graphics and audio. I'm now having some difficulties getting sound to come through my hdmi cable. I can't set hdmi audio as default for some reason. It's in gray. I've done driver updates and such also. Here's a list for my build

Intel i5-4690k
Gigabyte GA-z97n gaming 5 (rev 1.0) mini itx
8 gigs corsair ballistix sport (1600) 2x4
Corsair CX600 power supply
PNY and Crucial SSD 240gig + 256gig
Arctic freezer 11LP
Cooler Master Elite 130

Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The HDMI cable is running directly into the tv. From motherboard into TV

It's a LG 42 inch LED smart tv. There's video but no audio. I find it weird because in the sound settings there's an hdmi option but says disconnected even though it's directly hooked up. So I'm at a lost.
