Should HDMI from Laptop to Plasma send Audio as well as image?

I will get model numbers later if needed.

cheers

i have HDMI 1.1/1.2 i think which ever had to use optical/coaxial output instead

just install a new video card for my sons computer which has HDMI out but there is an internal cable from the card to the mainboard to get audio out, not sure on the laptop tho

Funny thing was it was a shop copy DVD (genuine) it would not play in windows media player. Windows Vista. The DVD plays in VLC volume is all the way up, and sound comes from the laptop speakers but not to the TV.
