Apple tv connected to yamaha receiver via hdmi, but only plays in stereo

I have connected my new apple tv 2 to my yamaha receiver, but it is only playing hd content in stereo.  I am using the same hdmi cable that I had previously used on a PS3, so I know that it is capable of receiving 5.1 content.  I have tried streaming hd content from Netflix as well as hd videos from apple tv, but both are still just playing audio in stereo format.  I have played with all the settings on the apple tv, but nothing is working.  Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that the content is 5.1 as I have tried various HD programming streamed from my iPad, on Apple TV, and HD shows streamed from Netflix.  I have tried the Dolby Digital setting in both "Auto" and "On" settings and neither appears to work.  I would assume that HD content would play in 5.1?

  • Dv73060us connected to t v via HDMI Audio only from PC Help, please OS is Windows 7

    I have connected my pc , using HDMI cable, to the TV, Everything seems to work well except for the fact that the audio is through the pc only. I went to control panel. hardware, sound and made the hdmi option the default.Audio still from pc only. Someone's help, please

    wcrawf,
    The brand of TV makes a difference sometmes... older Philips TVs in particular are fussy and have their own setup in the control panels (cannot recall where, this is from a thread from last ... Oct?  I think I can find it if you need the info).
    There is an "Order of Events" that needs to be followed; it is more important sometimes than others.
    If the issue is a "simple one", then this may help as a "Check List":
    Resolving HDMI Display and Sound Issues
    Reprint of an earlier post - something here may work:
    NOTE:  If this does work, the "Hard Reset" rule applies - it should "stick", that is, you shouldn't have to do it this way each time - it's just a matter of getting it set up.
    Order of Events - A "Hard Reset" of the HDMI Audio Setup:
    Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF)
    Connect HDMI  from computer toTV’s HDMI/DVI input port
    Set your TV input to HDMI/DVI input.   (You won’t have sound yet.)
    Turn of the TV.  Shut down the computer.
    Boot the computer - wait for it to boot all the way.  Log in.
    Sound should be "dead" - no system sounds at this point. 
    All the audio should be going through the HDMI port.
    If not, and you are getting sound, try setting "Digital Audio" setting (if you have it) as an option, [quote] "although this should not be necessary."
    Remove any headphones and any other non-HDMI output from computer and Reboot.
    If you get sound, it's still not ready - play with the sound output.
    When you get it to the point where the sound is "dead" (while the HDMI port is still connected) after you reboot, you are ready.
    Turn on the TV.
    Check for Sound through the HDMI port.  Should be working.
    The FIX-ALL Link for HDMI:
    I could take credit for this - but, you know - this is just not my area of expertise...  Your solution may be here - almost everything that can happen to HDMI has happened to someone at some point.  I've used this forum before - it's a great reference.

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

    how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable.  The TV says "no signal.  I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences.  what else do I need to do?

    First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
    I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

    What's wrong with my macbook pro (15" early 2011) when i connect it with TV via hdmi

    Hello Alex,
    It sounds like you are getting excessive CPU usage when connecting an external display via HDMI to your computer. I would try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    When using an external display be sure to check the following:
    If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
    Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
    Monitor and Display Adapter Table
    About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My Macbook Pro will no longer connect to my tv via HDMI

    Well basically it is in the title, my Macbook Pro will no longer connect to my tv via HDMI.
    I have been using this cable for a long time and works perfectly.
    earlier today i used it to connect my mac up to my parents 4k tv, it worked fine, did what i wanted to do.
    but now when I've come to connect it up to my tv it recognises there is something connected but it won't display anything
    it just says no signal on my tv
    im not sure whether my mac has changed some settings on its own to run on 4k but now to high to run on my 1080p tv
    pretty annoying so any ideas id be very grateful.
    I've already tried
    restarting my mac
    turning tv on and off
    different hdmi ports
    thank you

    Hello Rattisate,
    Sorry to hear you are not able to connect to Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.  You can find information on how to troubleshoot this in the following article:
    Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Follow the steps in the section labeled, "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet."
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

    I would recommend first trying these steps:

    If that does not work, this article has some additional ideas to try, even though you are only seeing this with the App Store:

  • Connected to the internet via ethernet, BUT...

    I turned off my computer, modem, everything and uplugged it all because of a severe lightning storm Saturday. Since I turned it back on the next day I haven't been able to access the web or my mail. However, the problem must be with my G4, because I have an iBook on Airport and I'm able to connect to the web and email with it. So the cable modem and Airport are evidently working properly. My G4 network settings all appear normal. I've got a green light saying I am connected to the internet via ethernet, but I'm really not. My email won't go online and no browser works, although I don't get a "can't connect" message on the browser screen, it just stays white. I had this problem before but I can't remember what I did to correct it. I just remember unplugging the modem and Airport over and over, in different order, and resetting preferences. But I don't remember what I did, if anything, to actually make it work again. Does anyone have an idea on what I can try to REALLY connect?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Frustrated in Florida,
    EG

    Tough to troubleshoot lightning in person, moreso at a distance!
    Things to try...
    Type 17.112.152.32 into your browser... thinking it may be off looking for a DNS server that doesn't exist.
    Launch Network Utility and see if you can Ping like that addy, or your other computer.

  • Mac mini not connecting thru yamaha receiver

    Hi, first time Mac user and first time poster here!
    I unboxed my Mac mini today and first connected it via hdmi to my yamaha a/v receiver (RX-V667). This is how my tv and Blu Ray are connected as well, and then I have one single hdmi output to my tv.
    there was no display on my tv. If I connect the Mac directly to the tv, then it works. The yamaha handles everything else fine (Oppo blu Ray, direct tv cable box, Xbox 360) but not the Mac. Why would this be?
    ANy help is greatly appreciated.  I'd like to avoid running 2 inputs into my tv
    thanks!

    I am using a Yamaha RX-V467 in a similar manner and it works just fine.
    My connection to the Mini is HDMI->HDMI.  FWIW, mine is a 2011 Mini Server
    running Yosemite (previously was a 2010 Mini connected identically with no issues).
    The cables could be an an issue.
    Also, you may want to try a PRAM reset (OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM)
    or an SMC reset (Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support).

  • Very hard to use LR5 when connected to External TV via HDMI

    Did anyone experience this?

    I have my MacBook connected to my HDTV via mini DVI to HDMI and the picture is perfect, but I cannot make the sound work. I've tried going to sound under system preferences but my tv is not listed as a device. Do you know how I can make the sound work?

    You need an audio cable to connect your Mac's audio out port to your TV's audio in port. The minidisplayport does not send sound.
