2010 MBP Audio Channel Count (Mini Display)
Hi All,
I have a MDP to HDMI adaptor that I am using successfully into a HDTV, sound is going across.
I am just wondering how many channels can go through by this method, is it just stereo, 5.1, 7.1 or what?
I know I can use the TOSLINK to get surround out but it would be nice to only use one cable =)
Cheers!

My Mac is suppose to not only support Video but Audio through the mini display port. I have the Mini display / hdmi connector. All i can get is video. When i go into "sounds" on my mac to switch the output sound, my tv is not recognized. Is there any one who has had success with this?
You need to get this adapter.

No Audio using Moshi mini display + HDMI cable
Hi Guys,
I now have video but no audio when connecting my macbook pro to my digital TV. TV is Teac HDMI and using moshi mini-display and HDMI cable.How old is your MBP? MBP's early than mid-2010 do not support audio through the mini-displayport.

Audio output through mini display port
2009 model macbook air 2,1. Is there an update or video card that will allow audio output using Moshi HDMI adapter?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
Only the most recent late 2010 MacBook Airs support audio over Mini Display Port.
For an older machine, you'll need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-HDMI-Adapter-Audio/dp/B0033SM2BQ/ref=sr_1 _14?ie=UTF8&qid=1306806721&sr=8-14 or this: http://www.amazon.com/Displayport-Toslink-Female-Converting-Adapter/dp/B003BS2PF G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_5 -
What do I needto do to connect a tv as an external display for my mbp using a mini display port to hdmi cable. I have tried display without success. tv is receiving a signal as displays apples default wallpaper when connected but nothing from screen of mbp.
Soundls like it is working. Try dragging a window on the MBP to the edge of the screen and see if it appears on the TV.
There are two ways to set up the TV one is to mirror the MBP display and the other is to be an extension of the MBP's screen.
You change the settings in System Preference->Display -
HDMI Audio Output via Mini Display Port to Sharp Aquos TV cuts out every 10 seconds
I haven't had an issue til I recently did a software update to my Mac Pro.
I have two mini-display ports on the back of my machine but always have been able to listen to audio from the HDMI connection without an issue. Anyone else having this issue? I checked and reset all the setting on my Television and get prompted that a icompatible PCMI audio signal is being recieved.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!I have seen one report that this is an acknowledged bug in OS10.6.8, the only cure for now is reverting OS:

Feb 2009 MBP-Audio out thru mini displayport?
Does my MBP, bought new in February 2009 (Build 10F569) support audio OUT on the mini displayport?
No. That was introduced with the April 2010 models.

More questions on resolution of Mini-Display Port (Monitor)
I have used several types of cables to connect several different types of external monitors all via my MBP's mini-display port.
My questions:
What resolution will the minidisplay port output to if it is a SINGLE output (says my Nvidia graphics cards) to a display port and to a DVI?
Both my graphics cards say they will output 2560 x 1600.
But since the input type on the monitors and tv is deciding what the resolution is, I'd like to know more about the Mini-Display port. Is it just going to MATCH whatever cord/input?
My newest monitor says that BOTH the Display Port and the DVI will receive 2560 x 1600 resolution.
Does anyone have good experience using one over the other? Is this true, given the adaptability of the mini-display output port?
Does anyone have success with buying a dual mini-display port adapter (they have poor ratings on Amazon from MBP (non-2010) users?
Will a mini-display port to a regular display port carry the 2560 x 1600 data??????Will a mini-display port to a regular display port carry the 2560 x 1600 data??????
Yes it will. Electrically speaking, Mini DisplayPort is no different than the full sized version. -
Mini Display ports - thunderbolt compatibility?
I have a 3.33 Ghz 6 Core Mid 2010 Mac Pro with 2 mini display ports.
I'm looking to buy a 27" Monitor.
If I buy one of the (now old) NON-Thunderbolt Apple Cinema Displays, I can assume it will work with my machine. However, will the Mini Display Ported Monitor work with a Thunderbolt equiped Mac at some time in the future, when my present pride & joy is past it?What does the Apple 27" offer that you want or need or more importantly, do, that the one you are looking at cannot? You want someone to predict and speculate on future product support?
What is known -
Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak[1]) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011, using the same port and connector as Mini DisplayPort
The Intel and Apple implementation of the port adapter integrates PCI Express data and DisplayPort data, allowing them to be carried over the same cable simultaneously. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort.[7]
Thunderbolt is based on the Mini DisplayPort connector developed by Apple.
This is electrically identical to "normal" DisplayPort connectors, but uses a smaller connector that is more suitable for use on laptops and other consumer devices. It is expected that Thunderbolt's use of this connector will drive wider acceptance.
Because the PCIe bus does not carry video data, it is unclear whether a standalone PCIe card could offer a Thunderbolt port. The Intel Thunderbolt Technology Brief does not give a conclusive answer.[2]
Intel disclosed documentation where video stream is sent to a dual-thunderbolt controller, with the video stream being only sent to one of the Thunderbolt Port, giving the assumption that video stream is not mandatory on Thunderbolt implementation.
Thunderbolt can be implemented on PCIe graphics cards, which have access to DisplayPort data and PCI express connectivity, or on the motherboard of new devices, such as the MacBook Pro.[7][21][38]
Thunderbolt controllers on the host and peripherals fold the PCIe and DisplayPort data together and unfold them after they exit the cable.[2]

Quicktime Pro Applescript - Assign audio channels
Hi, I have been trying to find an applescript which would open a Quicktime Prores file which has multiple audio tracks in, either 8 mono tracks or 6 mono and one strereo track, currently all audio tracks by default have the 'Channels' assigned to mono. I currently have to go in and manually assign every track, using the dropdown menu to Left, Right, Center, LFE, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Total, Right Total, but was wondering if this could be done with an Applescript as I have lots of these files to do regually. Another post I saw was able to change the 'name' of the tracks but not the 'Channels'.
I am on Mavericks with Quicktime 7 Pro.
Kind regards.Hello
If I understand it correctly, the script listed below will do the job.
Please edit the channel_layouts_map1 and channel_layouts_map2 as you see fit. The former is for 8 mono tracks and the latter is 6 mono tracks and 1 stereo track. Each entry in the map consists of a list of three items such that -
item 1 = (string or int) name of index of target sound track
item 2 = (string or int) new name for target track (int i denotes original name of sound track i)
item 3 = (list) list of audio channel layout(s) in the target sound track
Currently, script will remap the audio channel layouts and rename the sound track as specified. If you don't want to rename the tracks, specify the same value for item 1 and item 2.
If the script is run in AppleScript Editor, it will ask you to choose movie file(s). If it is saved as applet (droplet), you may drag-and-drop movie file(s) onto it. It uses GUI scripting to reassign audio channel layouts, so you need to enable GUI scripting, that is a bit complicated under 10.9.

QuickTime Pro Scripting - Audio Channel Mapping
Does anyone know if there is a way to script audio channel mapping and renaming in QuickTime Pro 7? I deal with a lot of 5.1 audio that needs to be channel mapped and renamed to its specific channel for iTunes uploading. I'm currently doing this task manually in QuickTime Pro, but I'd love to know if there is a possibility to automate this task. I'm new to scripting, and its been very helpful with a lot of my day to day tasks, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
Hello
A QT file contains sound tracks and a sound track contains audio channels.
If you mean your QT file has 4 sound tracks each of which contains one audio channel marked as "Mono", you may try the following script. Please make sure you have complete backup of files in advance, for this script will overwrite the files.
Script is basically the same as the one posted in the following thread except for the channel_layouts_map definition.
Quicktime Pro Applescript - Assign audio channels
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6055790
Notes.
* You need to have QuickTime Player 7 Pro. QuickTime X Player is useless for this.
* You need to enable GUI scripting.

Does my MacBook passes audio through Mini Display Port or not?
I recently bought a Mini DisplayPort > HDMI adapter in order to display my MacBook on my TV. Other users of the same adapter publicly stated that they got video AND audio out, but I got only video.
I've been searching this online for two days now and I still don't know why (I even searched this support forum, but I must admit that I got a little lost and decided to write my own topic). All I discovered was that some MacBooks have this capacity (to port audio along with video through Mini DisplayPort) and others don't.
I'm using a white MacBook unibody bought new and latest on late 2009. It's the first model with multitouch trackpad and without FireWire port. Its model name is "MacBook 6,1", I guess.
Does anybody know for sure if It CAN, in fact deliver audio+video through the Mini DisplayPort if I'm using a compatible HDMI adapter?
Thanks.These models pass audio through the display port:
iMac (Late 2009), MacBook Pro (Mid 2010), MacBook (Mid 2010), and Mac mini (Mid 2010) supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort. To connect your television or other HDMI devices to your Mac, use select third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that conform to the VESA v1.1a DisplayPort Interoperability Guidelines. The following adapters adhere to these standards:
- Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support
- Griffin Video Display Converter (Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and DVI) -
MBP Audio over Mini-Displayport
Hello
How do I tell if my MBP can support audio over mini-displayport?
I have purchased a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter but when I connect it to my TV I don't have the option in audio to choose the output over mini-displayport.
I don't know if it is the adapter I have purchased preventing it from working or if it is the laptop.
My MBP details are as follows:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.33f8
Thanks
KenMBP's like your late-2008 model don't output audio through the mini-displayport — the first models to do so were introduced in April 2010.
You need an adapter like this:

or this:
http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt20.html
The former carries 5.1-channel digital surround sound from the headphone port; the latter carries ordinary stereo from a USB port. -
New MBP mini Display Port out to TV (HDMI) not working
Sorry, I just realized I put this in the Original Folder not the Late 2008 folder.
I bought a new MBP 2.4 GHz, 4 GBs RAM machine in January of this year, 2009. Model Identifier 5,1. I wanted to connect it to my TV's HDMI port. Only interested in getting video to TV since I run sound through a sound system. I have been using my MacBook Air's DVI adapter to a DVi - HDMI cable. I have a Sony Bravia 40 HD tv. Video works just fine from my MBAir, can change resolutions to anything and video works perfectly (audio has a little problem though - high frequency hum out of the MBAir's audio port). That's why I want to change to my MB Pro - audio from the New MBP is good.
With my new MBP, using it's Mini out- DVi connector and using the Same Video (HDMI) cable that I used with my MBAir - it doesn't work. The Display Preference does not detect the TV ever. I just get a black screen on the TV. Not even a flash on the TV like it's trying to connect - nothing.
I can pull the cable out of my MBP 2.4 and swap the DVi connector to the MBAir's cable and put it in the MBAir and it works just fine. Swap it back to the new MBP and nothing.
I have tried two different MBP Mini DVI out connectors, thinking one was bad. I even took the connector I use with the MBAir with me to the Apple Store to have them match the connectors, so I would be assured that I got the correct one. Oh by the way, my MBAir is the original one, not the newest one.
I have read a lot of links on the website where people are having trouble with Monitors using the new MBP Mini DVI video out but could not find any thread that matched my TV problem.
Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Just to clarify, you state that you have a MacBookPro5,1, which is the late 2008 model. The video output on that model is a mini-DisplayPort, not a mini-DVI (like the pre-unibody MacBooks) or a micro-DVI (like your 1st gen MBA). DisplayPort is a different type of port. (Note - I requested an edit of the title of your post to clarify that).
When you connect the TV, in what sequence are you connecting? The 'proper' sequence is to connect the DVI-HDMI cable to the mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, have the HDMI end connected to the TV, have the TV set to Line-In, looking for a signal, then connect to the MBP last.
What happens when you connect it like that? Have you tried System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays? -
Need a mini display port and audio to HDMI adapter for mid 2009 13" macbookpro
Can some body recomend an adapter cable that plugs into the audio (mid 2009 MacBookPro 13") and mini display port and outputs to HDMI with audio and video all together for a TV? I would rather not run a separate audio cable in addition to the HDMI cable.

2010 MBP 13" and External Display
I have just purchased a new 2010, 13.3"MBP, 2,4GHz, C2D, 4GB RAM, 250GB Drive. Works well on/off power, after sleep, etc. No issues as at all. I plugged in an external HP1908w using an Apple Mini Display Port adapter [VGA]. I can use the system [plugged in] for about 20 minutes or so, then it just goes blank. The MBP goes black, and the external goes to a weird beige/pinkish screen.
I can't wake the system, or anything. I even tried unplugging the monitor, thinking it was a that. I plugged in the adapter only, no monitor, to see if it was that, and it works fine. No problems. I've run all the software updates, and everything. The only difference I see is that the resolution on the MBP is 1280x800, and the external goes to 1440x900. Other than that, I can't see what could be causing it? I've repaired permissions, did the PRAM, all that stuff...HELP!!!!Take a look at this discussion (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2439927). No solution, but I think you both have the same problem.
