Hi,

I've got a Samsung Blu-ray player, which I've hooked up to an Excelvian mini projector. There's video but no audio. When I hook up a laptop or tablet there isn't this problem.

I've had a play around with the sound settings on the Blu-ray player but it's not working.

The Blu-ray player has an HDMI and a USB output.

The projector has an HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, D-TV, SD card slot, and headphones connection ports.

What do you think might be a solution?

I would have thought that setting the Blu-ray to output PCM stereo sound should allow that to send the sound to the Projector through the HDMI? (you may have to disable secondary audio and turn on PCM downmix)
It's strange that none of the audio options in the Blu-ray menu produces any sound?
Much more likely is the Blu-Ray is outputting a format the Projector doesn't understand. LPCM is an alternative name for Stereo PCM. And plugging it into a socket that could be used with a PC is a possibility. Most Projectors I've seen that have an HDMI plus 3.5mm jack for audio will have a setting to switch the audio between the HDMI and jack if they don't do it by auto detecting a jack plug in the socket.

And of course it is always possible...

And of course it is always possible there is some odd fault on the HDMI socket on the Blue-Ray. And if you can try CONNECTING THE BLUE-RAY TO A TV TO SEE IF IT WORKS?
