When I have the Laptop and Receiver on and connected via HDMI I get audio just fine although the screen on the Laptop does go blank I think, Ill have to check next time I setup to watch a movie. Anyways once I turn on the projector the audio immediately switches to the build-in laptop speakers and I am forced to run an RCA to 1/8" audio jack from a separate input on the receiver to one of the headphone ports(thank god my receiver has the ability to display a video signal while playing audio from a different input). I've tinkered with it quite a bit and just cant figure out why the Laptop doesn't seem to detect that I want to output audio through the HDMI while connected to the projector. It's not a faulty port on the laptop either because if I connect the laptop to directly to a TV via HDMI i get sound and video like a champ.
I'm at a loss if this is just some setting I need to tweak or if its just some inherent incompatibility between the receiver and the laptop when an external display is connected to it.
anyways if anyone has an light to shed on the situation I would be grateful.

I seem to have the opposite problem of you.
My setup: DELL XPS 15 <-> HDMU <-> Yamaha Receiver <-> HDMI <-> Epson Projector
