Or some remnant of the AMD card is still trying to use the sound; unlikely, but if it's still plugged in, try shutting off the computer and removing the burnt out card. I understand laptops can be difficult to open up, but if it had space for two graphics cards it should be easier than most laptops.

Then it's likely that the intel card just doesn't support hdmi audio.

That's sad.

That's sad too, cause I'm really not brave to do that. :/

New fact : I'm using a vga to hdmi connection - and in display adapters there is a yellow sign in the "standart vga graphics adapter".
Is this important? (and using dvi) da hell is going on  ...? does this makes any sense?

Oh, that would be it. Should have mentioned that sooner.

Vga doesn't support audio. You need either an hdmi or a dvi port or  your laptop to get audio from it to the tv. Vga won't do it.

If it says standard vga graphics adapter, then it needs drivers

Install both the intel and amd drivers given by your laptop's manufacturer. That may work.

Thank you Japa!

But should I really install  the  amd drivers, when the amd is dead ? Is that ok?

Is it a VGA port on the tv then? If at any point the signal is passing through a VGA type cable, then it's dropping the sound.

Yes it is. Maybe I should get a vga hdmi converter thing ?  But the laptop has already an hdmi input : monitor(vga) ---> pc (hdmi input)

VGA technology doesn't support audio. Doesn't matter which end is which if one is VGA you have no audio. If the monitor has DVI or HDMI it will accept audio via the cable.

You need to go from hdmi port straight to hdmi port if you want audio. VGA on either end will result in no sound.

Lets try one more thing its possible that the intel hdmi audio drivers are not installed since it wasn't plugged in at the time. Can you try reinstalling the intel drivers with the HDMI plugged in?

Otherwise your last option would get a vga/hdmi converter or a HDMI audio inserter.

I picked one up at Microcenter a few months ago, so I could hook my 360 to an old CRT monitor at a friend's place for some old school halo. Put it to use attached to my minnowboard based HTPC I built over a year ago, so i could attach it to the (first generation, so wonky HDMI spec, thus using VGA due to incompatible signal) HDTV downstairs. Works great.
