Looks like you're out of luck there JonL. You'll have to cut a strip of the drywall out going in the direction of your cabinet that is wide enough to get an angled drill in. Once over the top of the cabinet , you can then drop your lines down one of the stud cavities and into the cabinet. Been there done that before for a customer...what a pain in the ass! Good luck.

Getting the thin strip of drywall replaced shouldn't be terribly expensive.Hopefully you haven't painted the walls yet. If so..then it will be a bit more cost.

I also suggest you run Cat6 lines instead of HDMI.It's much easier to work with. Plus you can run several pair just for future proofing the install.You can use the Cat6 to carry your HDMI signal or pretty much anything else. Use HDMI wall plate converters or bailings. Run atleast one extra pair of lines so if you want to add internet or remote control access(IR blaster for the cabinet) in the future you'll have it.
