Is there a way to enable sound via HDMI on my TV Monitor from the MacBook Pro late 2010 (OSX 10.8.3)?
When connecting my MacBook Pro Late 2010 to my Samsung TV Monitor via HDMI there is no sound coming out, only picture. Alternatively when I'm using my dual-boot Windows 7 installed on the same machine the sound works as it should via HDMI on my TV monitor.
I have tried everything and have concluded that it's a built-in option that is not available in this version of the MacBook Pro Late 2010 (7,1).
Is there a way to fix this issue without needing to buy additional hardware?

Using "Audio MIDI Setup.app" in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, under the Window menu, select "Show Audio Window".
This will give you a list of input and output devices.
I have HDMI -- 0 in/2 out listed on the left, in addition to Built-in Input and Built-in Output. There may be other I/O devices listed, depending on your configuration. To the right of the device names, ought to be 3 icons: a Mac face (for system sounds), a speaker icon (for main sounds) and a microphone icon (for input). These icons will be placed beside the audio device to which they're currently assigned; my guess would be the 'Built-in' devices.
Select HDMI then right-click. A menu should then appear giving you the options to use this device for sound output and play alerts and sound effects through this device. Select the options options you wish, and test. See the utility's help file for further information.
Update: I learned the Macbook in question has a mini DisplayPort connection. I then found a link to a Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI w/ Audio on the Apple Store which specifically says it works with the mid-2010 13" Macbook Pros.

I've noticed in the documentation on our new Philips LCD that the 3 HDMI inputs are not equivalent, and it recommends attaching a computer to port 1; Might it be as simple as that? I've just looked up your model on MacTracker; it lists for 'Displays' 1 - Mini DisplayPort (VGA, DVI, or dual-link DVI with adapter). I'll have to research a bit, as it's not a native HDMI interface. (my 1st gen mini didn't do sound via its DVI-HDMI cable.)

Method 1:
Option-click on the volume icon on the right side of the menu bar, and source control should show up.
Method 2:(@NevinWilliams also mentioned this method)
Open Audio MIDI Setup using spotlight or find it in the Applications folder(/Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.app for me).
Method 3:
Open System Preferences and click on sound in the second row. Make sure 'Output' is selected at the top. Then chose the name of the TV in the white box.
