macbook hdmi and sound output.
Trying to play Borderlands 2 via the HDMI out. Picture is fine as always but i can't get the sound to pass through too. It keeps playing through the laptop speakers.

Messed around alot with the midi setting & restarted etc but still keeps coming out through the laptop speaker.

All my other apps pass through audio fine and get full surround sound when watching movies. Is there a setting i'm missing on steam or the game itself?

any help much appreciated! Dc

Macbook pro, 15" retina
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7,
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
OS X 10.9.1

You have to change the sound output to HDMI in Sound Preferences.

ok - i basically had to restart steam and borderlands 2 after the cables had been connected, laptop closed and external display was on.

Quite suprised to find that Borderlands 2 isn't in 5.1?
