Multi-monitor but want sound from TV rather than monitor

GPU - MSI Radeon
Mboard - Asus H81M-Plus
Monitor 1 - Hazro 27"
Monitor 2 - LG 32"

I have both running via HDMI, but can only receive sound through the monitor. How do I enable the sound to run through the TV instead of the monitor without swapping the monitor cable for a DVI one?

Right click on the volume icon on the task bar, click on Playback devices, find the HDMI cable you want to put the sound through, right click, "set as default device"

No, that was the first thing I tried.

Turn the volume up on your tv? Dude you're going to need to give more information seeing as this seems to be an error rather than you asking how to do it..

I have two HDMI cables connected to my PC: one from the motherboard and one from the GPU.

The one in the GPU is the one connected to monitor 1 where sound currently comes from. The one on the mo/board is connected to monitor 2 (a TV).

When I enter "Playback Devices" I get the following:

The first option, with the green tick at present, gives me sound from monitor 1.

The second option "Speakers" gives me sound through my stereo system when I plug a jack into the front or back of the PC.

The third option (which I assume is the HDMI from the sound card to the monitor 2, the TV) gives me nothing at any time whatsoever. All the drivers seem to be updated and working in order, however.
