Audio through DisplayPort on brand new T500

I have just ordered a T500 with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator x4500HD with vPro and want to connect it to a HDtv using the DisplayPort and HDMI. I know that I will need an adapter to do so but here is my question. Will the DisplayPort support digital audio?
I have seen threads on this forum stating that on some models the audio works and on other models the audio doesn't work... will it work on mine?

Ok, so for everyones' information:
As explained to me by Lenovo, the DisplayPort on a T500 with INTEGRATED graphics motherboard supports ANALOG video only (vga) and will not support digital video of any kind (hdmi/dvi). It is a hardware limitation and is not fixable.
The only way to get a T500 to put out digital video on the DisplayPort is to obtain a completely new system with the ATI SWITCHABLE GRAPHICS motherboard.
Ack! That is flat-out FALSE: the T500 with Intel (only) graphics does digital video through either the built-in DisplayPort, or through the DVI port of an advanced mini dock or advanced dock. See this handy table of which models support DVI pass-through in the dock:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72148.html
What is true is that the R500 with Intel (only) graphics does not support DVI pass-through. However, even it supports digital video through its DisplayPort.
And yes, I have personally used digital video from both a T500 and an R500. (Typing this reply through DVI on a T500 Type 2242. )
Best regards,
Frank
EDIT: The DisplayPort on both R500 and T500 does *not* support digital audio. You can use the analog audio out, or the digital coax audio out on the dock. Either way you will need another cable.

No HDMI Audio Out Option on Laptop, Brand New HP Envy 17

I am trying to watch youtube and other streaming video on my television. I have a receiver that has 5 hdmi in that I use to run all my devices. When I plug in my HDMI cord the video plays on my tv but no audio, and I hear the external device disconnect sound. I opened device manager and see an error above hi definition audo device under sound. I am quite frustrated with trying to diagnose this. HP Support has updated the bios and poked around and pretty much shrugged and said we dont know. I have updated the audio driver and no luck there either. On my wifes 8 year old laptop all you do is right click on the white speaker and select hdmi out.

Audio keeps cutting out. Brand new iMac- Logic 9

4 gigs of memory. when i play a song-- or when i record it- even at larger buffer sizes-- the audio cuts out. Only for a second though-- and when i check the recording-- it seems that the audio still got recorded-- just the output mutes out for a second. memory thing maybe? i've tried playing around w/ buffer sizes. i'm only ever recording 1 track at a time. could it be b/c i'm recording to a usb hard drive?
thank you

Plugging your devices to different corners of your room can cause audio problems I illustrated in my previous post. Let's summarize everything:
1. You have to have all your devices plugged in one source which means one plate or one socket (with a divider, of course) to avoid 'brrrrrrr' in your speakers (sorry, I don't remember the word for 'brrrrr')
2. Try your setup in another roon, house, or even part of your town/city to check the audio interface itself.
!!!! Something came to my mind, perhaps you can just plug the audio interface to another firewire port on your computer? Do you have anything else connected to your firewire port? Sometimes it can be a problem! Even if it's in another port (not daisy chained).!

Bought a brand new T500 with 64SSD, what to delete to increase capacity?

My 64gb SSD drive can only hold 22gb left. What software can I get rid of to increase my hard drive space? I already burned my recovery CD and deleted partition Q. I have windows vista business and this takes up over half of my hard drive!

I also agree that a fresh install is the best way to go for minimal wasted space or redundant programs.
A relatively easy way to free up space is to adjust or turn off several of the programs that allocate way too much space by default. System Restore, Recycle Bin, Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Cache.....these all eat up space.
Also, using a program like CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ can help clear out application clutter. I have had great success with this program for several years now on both XP and Vista.
Don't forget to delete your Windows Update downloads once you are sure you will not have to uninstall them.
Hope this helps.

New T500 Grinding Noise from Hard Drive

My brand new T500 Hard Drive makes off and on very faint grinding noise. The grinding happens for 6 times and then goes away for 5-10 seconds and then happens again and so on.
Is this normal or is my new hard drive defective, and should I ask Lenovo for a replacement hard drive?
I ran the lenovo hard drive diagnostic tool and it did not find any issues.

Fortunately Dell has released firmware update DE17 for the following Seagate models that seems to work for my Lenovo:

I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

Repost: brand new mac won't play/recognise/mount audio-cd's

No idea what's going on here. I posted a question which I will paste below. Someone posted some suggestions for me (Dave Sawyer if I remember the name correctly, thanks again!) which lead me to ask wheter I was or was not supposed to have a file named cd info.cidb in a certain folder.
Now all of a sudden my thread is gone and I find the following mail in my inbox:

You wouldn't have that file unless you used iTunes to get CD metadata from Gracenote. I hate Gracenote, therefore I have never had that file on my system

The origial question post was the following:
Hi all!
I am totally new to the macbussines (got one for a month now) and not using cd's much I never tried importing one untill today... and it simply won't. I think it's supposed to show the audio-cd on the desktop and give me an 'import cd' button in itunes whenever I insert an audioCD right?
It won't do... it'll take it in, turn it a few times and slide it right out again.
What I tried so far:
* toying with itunes settings for importing (import cd & eject, show CD, ask to import cd etc)
* toying with the cd&dvd preferences under system preferences
* click the mount 'button' in disk utility as was suggested in all those threads regarding cd's not mounting first time (my cd's won't mount the second or 30th time either)
* resetting the PRAM
Nothing so far.
It does recognise DVD's but no audio cd's whatsoever, originals, burned ones. You name it. As I don't use CD's a lot the newest CD dates from 2003, but that can't be it, can it?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated...
o/
Am I going para? Where did my post go? It's totally gone, not even under 'my posts' or anywhere...
Still no solution either... suggestions still welcome therefor

My guess is that someone didn't like that I said I didn't like Gracenote.
Anyway, I Googled for your thread and luckily found it intact in the iTunes for Windows forum and posted a condensed reply there for you.

Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
To boot into the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

The audio device is not working in my brand new hp

I bought the pavilion f4j02la and after 10 days of using it, out of the blue, the sound speaker on the desk appeared with an "x" as if I had put mute on it. It appears to be no device no more and the automatic "help" that searchs for the problem and then fixes it, says that it can't fix anything and that probably one or more audio services are not being executed. It is still brand new.
So far i've tried downloading a bunch of new drivers, uninstalling the ones I already had, restarted the computer, erased evertything I had and try to set it back as when I just bought it... and this support hp is unreacheble.
I'm all the way to Germany where I just found out they are not in the market... so, if anyone has any idea how can I fix this I will really really appreciate it.
Thank u

I don't think that is normal behavior. The long press is possibly causing the system to force power down, which would then allow it to power back up.
Just to make sure, all drivers are up-to-date? Are there pending BIOS updates? If so, you'll want to make sure it can restart properly before applying the BIOS update
Try an Ubuntu LiveUSB or LiveCD to rule out software issues.
If that doesn't work, try taking out the battery and AC, pressing the power button ten times, then holding it for ten. This is usually the remedy for another issue, but try it anyway.
If that doesn't work, then try resetting the BIOS settings. Then try unplugging the CMOS battery overnight. Otherwise, might have to call for warranty.

HT2499 I inserted a brand new DVD and it quit half way through and gave me the "skipping over damaged area" message.

I got this laptop refurbished from Apple in July. It was originally released in October 2011. I have watched DVD's on it previously, but lately, in the past 3 weeks, it's been pooping up the "skipping over damaged area" message. I put in a brand new DVD and half way through, it did it again, and I can't get past it. Any thoughts on what the problem may be?

You can just open Terminal (in Utilities) and run the rm command (make sure you type it exactly) and then reboot. With /.AppleSetupDone gone the system will think it is the the second part of an installation, i.e., after it installs and reboots and starts the Setup Assistant. You will see the Welcome and music all over again and then you can go through the setup prompts again, this time specifying a password.

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed. Now disk utility only has the option to install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow. Anyone any ideas as my Mac won't load anything up but disc utility!

Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed on initial setup, USB cable popped out Now can only access disk utility as won't load to log in screen. The only has the option in disc utility is to re-install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow or loading another time machine back up but after an hour of it processing, that didn't resolve the issue either! The time machine back up is the latest back up of my Mac Book Pro which was using OS X Maverix. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my Mac to the store but that would be a hassle so does anyone have any ideas?

Follow this guide using another Mac.
Insert your newly created Mavericks USB into you Mac, press the power button and then hold down 'option,' until it gives you an option to boot from the USB. You will then be able to erase the internal disk with Disk Utility and reinstall Mavericks straight after.
After that you should be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your applications and user data.
