no sound in hdtv after connecting via thunderbolt to hdmi cable from macbook pro

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?

  • Help: 2011 imac 27" won't detect External Display connected via thunderbolt to HDMI

    I have an 2011 imac 27" and I'm trying to connect an Acer 23" monitor as an external display. I'm using a miniDV(thunderbolt) to hdmi cable. For some reason the computer is unable to detect the display. However when I reboot into windows via bootcamp, the display is detected and works perfectly.. Any way to force thunderbolt to detect this?

    Well, weird outcome... I took the monitor back and exchanged it for a better model, better brand. The thunderbolt to hdmi cable works fine with this new monitor in osx. Thanks again..

  • Do you have any ideas on how I may resume my TV volume to full capability after disconnecting the HDMI cable and Macbook Pro to watch DVD's somehow my tv volume got turned down and I can't get it to restore fully. Any constructive ideas?

    I  used the HDMI cable from my Macbook Pro to my Panasonic TV to watch DVD's but I had no sound, so I used the community suggestion in going to system preferences>sound etc. followed the instructions and got great sound in fact very loud to my TV so I turned down the volume from my TV remote control. After watching the DVD's I disconnected the HDMI from my TV and realized for some reason my TV volume now is not returning to it's full volume even though I've tried to turn it to it's maximum. Any constructive assistance is truly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hey, it's a simple fix that should give most people what they want until there is full VZW support: the ability to use their card with the VZAM software.  I didn't see anyone else offering that suggestion...  If you don't want to use it, you don't have to.
    At the very least, this does seem to prove the theory that this is an issue with the 32/64bit compatability that some have refuted.

    You will only know about the hard drive when you try to access it in TDM from your other computer. If you cannot boot into TDM mode or if the drive does not appear on the new computer's Desktop then it is likely bad.
    What you are thinking about as a recovery disk is the Recovery HD normally created when you install Lion or later on the computer. You boot from it as follows:
    Boot Using Command+R keys:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
      3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.

  • Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Can you connect via thunderbolt a mac book air 13" (2013) and a imac 21" (2013) together, using the iMac 21" as a 2nd screen

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

  • How to connect imac to tv using thunderbolt to hdmi cable

    I'm trying to connect my mid 2011 iMac to my tv. I have a thunderbolt to hdmi cable that I purchased. I connected the thunderbolt port to the iMac and connected the hdmi port to the tv. I turned on both devices and the tv is not getting the signal. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.
    Although I don't have thunderbolt, since you can plug mini-displayport into a TB socket, then like mini-displayport, they a a little sneaky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in the socket.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click detect displays.  Then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz).  You should see a picture at this point.
    You may have to play the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
    Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection.

  • How to get sound from MBP to TV through thunderbolt to HDMI cable?

    I have a Mid 2009 MBP and have been running it through to my Samsung TV for a while now via thunderbolt to HDMI but have only just wondered whether i can get the sound coming from my TV rather than the built in speakers on the macbook.
    I have tried going to System Preferences - Sound - Output. but there is no option for display sound or thunderbolt...... i suspect it's because i have a rather old macbook but it doesn't seem like an option that would only come on newer models.

    Don't worry about this post..... doesn't make sense. Mid 2009 models do not have thunderbolt ports nor do they support audio through HDMI : (

  • Connect to 2 external displays using 2 thunderbolt to hdmi cables

    I have a new iMac which has 2 thunderbolt ports.  I was told that I can add 2 displays using these ports with thunderbolt to hdmi cables.  However when I do this only one screen connects.  The other remains blank (and off).

    Hello, I wonder if HDMI isn't the problem?
    It's supposed to...
    2nd Display Support:
    Dual/Mirroring*
    2nd Max. Resolution:
    2560x1600 (x2)
    Details:
    *This model can simultaneously support two external displays up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt.

    Do the monitors have anything besides HDMI?
