Hi BZurb,


Once you have your Mac and Smart TV connected by HDMI, you will need to change the audio output on the Mac. To do so:


  1. Go to Apple menu () and choose System Preferences
  2. Click Sound
  3. choose Output
  4. Select your Tv from the list of devices shown


You can find these and addition guidance in Use your TV as a display with Mac.



Regards.
