How do you know if a hdmi cable is bad ?

Answer 1

If your audio is cutting out, then your cable is bad.  The audio is the first thing to go.

Answer 2

Just troubleshoot the cable.  Hook it up to a different device.  Next, just see what happens when you use a different HDMI cable.

Answer 3

It's more likely one of your components needs to be "set" to hdmi,

like my sony tv i have to go into menu for a a video input and force it to hdmi, same for the playstation 3, it has to be forced to hdmi

if everything is set to hdmi and it's still not working try to use another component and check it....

otherwise I'm not sure how to tell you
