The experimental one that John Logi Baird made was (1925), and it used vertical scan lines not horizontal ones like today's televisions. Did be fooled by your concept of what a television was though, this TV was a crude silhouette and definitely not for public consumption.

But the commercial ones like the "GE Octagon" that were sole to the public in 1928 did have sound. However the problem wouldn't have been sound output in 1928, it would have been television transmitting stations. There were less than a handfull world wide at that time.
