Getting no sound from TV after connecting Macair via mini DP to HDMI port....pls help

I've tried connecting my 2011 Macair to my LED tv via mini DP to HDMI port. The video works fine but there is no sound. I tried opening network preferences and went to the sound section but it does not show my TV to be selected as an output option. Please help!!!!!!

Did you try on another device, like a computer monitor? To verify the problem is not with the adapter or cable.
Off course you switched on the external screen using WinKey+P?

No sound from tv speakers connected to mac mini (toslink/digital out)

Hi there,
I followed this guide: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/08/21/ultimate-mac-mini-htpc-guide-hardware/ and bought a toslink to get audio from the mac mini to the tv speakers (sony bravia kdl40v5100). However, I can't hear any audio coming out from the tv speakers. What's up?
On a side note, I got the mac mini display connected with hdmi to my tv, which works well.
Let me know, thanks.

According to the specs of your display, the kdl40v5100 does not allow you to make a digital audio connection between your mini and the TV, and therefore you can not use the TOSLINK cable you purchased to do this..
However, you can make an analog connection. At the back of your TV, you will notice that one of your HDMI inputs has 2 plugs next to it- a red one and a white one.
Here is a picture of the back of your set. Look at number 5. This is where you will make the connection.

This is where you will connect the mini audio, by using a cable that looks like this...

(and of course, if the HDMI for the mini is not plugged into the neighboring HDMI port you will have to switch things around to do so.

Hi, I have set up my PC new and want to get my music from my Apple TV back, how can i do this ? Pls Help

Hi, i set my PC new up, and now i want to get all my music from my apple tv (first generation) back on my PC, how can i do this ? Pls help me.

Sorry, but you probably can't. You cannot sync from an Apple TV to a PC except for items purchased from the iTunes Store on the Apple TV. You'll need to restore from the backups you made of your iTunes library, which I presume you made?

Screen turns black after connecting TV via DVI adaptor and HDMI cable

I've just got the brand new MacBook Pro from the Apple Store. It is sensational.
But one thing doesn't work!
I used my old "*DVI - HDMI cable*" and the new "*Mini DisplayPort - DVI adaptor*" to connect my new MacBook with my SHARP Aquos LCD TV. But the screen of the MacBook just turned black and nothing else happened, even if I removed the plugs. The only thing I was able to do was a reboot.
The HDMI cable worked very well until today with my old PowerBook G4 (I just didn't need the adaptor).
Do I need another adaptor? What is wrong? Any ideas?
Thank you!

Did you ever resolve this problem? I want to hook up my MBP to my Aquos TV and wondered what cable to get.
Regards,

What model MacBook Pro?
The mini display port on earlier Apple computers only support video. See:
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Also, if you go to System Preferences>Sounds>Output do y see HDMI or Min displayport as an Audio out option?

Try this, it works on my PC:
Connect HDMI cable to TV.
In the Control Panel, select "Sound" by double-clicking it.
Click the "Playback" tab and look for an icon for your television.
Highlight the TV icon and then select "Set Default". A green checkmark should appear on the TV icon.
You should now hear sound from the TV when your HDMI cable is connected, and sound from your PC when the cable is not connected.

Can't get any sound from my headpeice when plugged

Hi there,
Could someone help me out with this? I am unable to get any sound from my headpeice when I plug it in to listen to music. The sound only comes from the phone's speaker. I have reboot the phone but the problem still persist.
Thank you

are you using the N900 headset? or a different one?
(Check your headset conditon using another phone or something)
*aslo try this;
after plugged in, rotate your headphone jack slowly..
**this could happen coz of a app youve installed. So remove apps like headphone demon and apps newly installed.
***i got kinda same prob when i bought ma N900 in 2009. But after PR1.2, its gone..
So check your firmware version and update it...

No sound from speakers after 10.4.4 update

After doing all the latest updates I'm not getting any sound from the speakers on my powerbook. I can stream music, or listen to sound on my headphones, but not from the speakers. Any ideas?

If you did your update through the software update function, some have found that applying the combo update, which has to be downloaded from Apple, fixes things. Apparently the updates done through the software update function don't always update everything they should, where the combo update is a more thorough update.
You can find the 10.4.4 combo update at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1044combo.html and the current 10.4.5 combo update is at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1045combo.html

I am not getting any sound from my laptop. I have a Pavilion dv7 with beats audio.

I am not getting any sound from my laptop.

Try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

If still no sound,
Go to the link below.Enter your Product Number as listed on Service Tag attached to bottom of notebook (may be under battery). You can also get the Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key. After entering PN, click Next ,then choose Software & Drivers.On the next page use the dropdown to select your OS (probably Windows 7 64bit). A list will populate with drivers. Download & install the latest Audio driver.

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly. I followed all the advice from the Apple community

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly , without using "Actualización de software". I followed all the advice from the Apple community. Can I use bluetooth speakers to solve this problem? My Computer: iMac. 20-inch, Early 2008. Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
Reset your computer’s PRAM
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

O.K. fgonoz98
I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
If you get stock post back
