    Hey guyz somehow am not able to get audio through HDMI cable.
    I got the dp -> hdmi converter provided by dell with d++ sign on it which means it supports audio.

    Also in a few places i have seen ppl installing realtek audio manager, but is it necessary coz we in our all powerful M15x have IDT audio one.

    BTW, Alienware is awesome. :D

    Another issue that can cause this is the specific HDMI port you use on your TV, and the setting you give it on the TV, like PC or PC/DVI, or Game etc.
