HDMI showing picture but TV has no sound
HDMI carries both video and audio, but your TV needs to be set up to accept the audio. Check that the HDMI device is outputting audio, enable HDMI ARC in TV settings if needed, and make sure audio output is set to HDMI. Try a different HDMI cable to rule out cable problems.
HDMI carries video and audio on the same cable. When video works but audio doesn't, the TV isn't detecting audio from the HDMI signal, HDMI ARC isn't enabled, the source device isn't outputting audio, or the cable is faulty. Testing different HDMI ports and checking TV settings finds the answer.
