Windows 8 - Duplicate screen

I've got my laptop connected to my TV via an HDMI cable and I was wondering if there's an easy way to set it up so I can use my headphones without the TV playing any sound.

if you hit your volume button, youll see a button marked 'mixer' click that. New window will pop up, under device youll see a drop down menu and you chose your headphones instead of the TV or Laptop, headphones need to be plugged in.
Should fix it.

Well, I want to watch my computer on my TV. I just said it as such because it seemed you understood, which you do.

Thanks, I'll try this.
