No audio on HDMI

Just bought unit connected HDMI cable  video great no audio.  Another guy had same problem he returned unit and now ok.  Is there something I should try first.

One possibility is that encoded digital audio is being passed directly to your TV in a format it does not understand.

If this is the case, and you do not have access to a receiver that does understand the digital audio,  try changing your WD Live’s audio setting to Stereo and the sound should work.

I returned the unit and bought  a Asus instead.  Solved the problem.
