Woo Hooww my first post and I can answer this :)

Look at the speaker icon on you lower right, like in Win7, left click it and a settings box comes up, pick 'OUTPUT' and it should show in there.

I've just this minute finished installing Mint and wanted to do the exact same thing :)

Have you fixed it yet? I hooked up an hdmi cable to my laptop and ran it to my tv also and everything worked, sound and video, out of the box. I don't know anything to tell you except to keep searching on this site with differently worded search strings. You are bound to come up with something. Hope you find a fix.
