Audio over miniDP on L540 ?

Hello,
my customer bought 7 new L540 (20AV0031IX) Win8.1
I realized that the HDMI port is missing.
I want to buy an adapter for miniDP to HDMI conversion, but I'm wondering if the miniDP is able to carry sound.
Can any of you confirm that L540 can be connected to a HDTV with a miniDP-HDMI adapter with sound ?
There is a special (Lenovo) cable-adapter ?
Can any of you suggest me a cable that has been tested and working fine ?
Thanks a lot !!
Best regards
William

miniDP will carry sound. There is no special Lenovo cable, any miniDP to HDMI will do. These cables all follow the same standards, as long as they don't have physical defect then they all should all be fine.

  • Audio over standard DVI HDMI?

    What are the audio capabilities with the 1st 4 generations of MacBook Pros with standard full size DVI outputs when using a DVI to HDMI adapter?
    I know that the mini display and thunderbolt ports support full quality 7.1 audio at 24bit 96KHz over HDMI (plug and play right out of the box to a surround receiver). What about the DVI machines? Can you at least get stereo audio thru the DVI port for basic TV/movie watching? Or is audio over HDMI only available starting on the 5th generation MacBook Pros?

    Ehych is very correct.
    On your $300 switch box, here is *one from MonoPrice* that is only $43!
    I've purchased several cables & switch boxes from them - VERY good quality, price & shipping.

  • 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
    Ken

    MBP'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:
    http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
    or this:

    The former carries 5.1-channel digital surround sound from the headphone port; the latter carries ordinary stereo from a USB port.

  • Audio over displayport?

    I can't find an official apple response to this matter, does the new mac mini transmit an audio signal via it's new display port?
    Display port does support audio, and display port to hdmi adaptors support audio, which means I could connect a mini to my hdmi tv and have the audio work properly.... IF the mac transmits audio over display port.
    What's the word?

    So if you connect the new LED display to the Mini with the only connector available on the monitor (i.e. the new mini displayport), how do you get audio into the monitor and be played through it's 2.1 sound system?
    Surely, this must be done through the mini displayport?

  • 785GT-E63 - Audio over HDMI

    Hello All,
    I couldn't find this info anywhere, and am hoping that folks here can assist me.
    Does this board support audio over HDMI?
    I would like to use this board in HTPC setup.
    Thank You!!!

    Hello!
    Speaking of info. - Please describe your system in some detail, and do not forget to mention the specs of your PSU. There is a sticker on the PSU box.
    Generally HDMI transports sound, yes.
    Thanks for the reply.
    My set-up is pretty simple.
    Besides the new MB and CPU (which i got at a great deal on $115 for both) all the components are being recycled from other PCs.
    MSI - 785GT-E63
    Athlon II 630
    2x512MB of DDR2 Ram
    Thermaltake TR2 430W PSU
    nMEDIAPC HTPC Case 6000B
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    1.5TB Segate HDD
    2TB Hitachi HDD
    Video capture card (don't know the specs)
    I do not have a dedicated video card, and for my purposes i don't think i need one.
    I would like this HTPC to output audio to a 5.1 channel system powered by Onkyo TX-SR507 Receiver through HDMI
    This will be used to watch 720/1080p video downloads, brows pictures, basic online browsing and maybe convert some of my old family VHS videos.

  • P7NGM-digital : audio over HDMI ?

    Hello,
    I read elsewhere that for this board, P7NGM-digital, audio over HDMI was not possible ?
    Is it true ?
    As it is not working for me.

    Problem solved. Uninstalled all windows updates and display drivers. Reinstalled windows updates in groups of no more than 5 at a time, restarting after each group. Installed latest Intel display driver, restarted. Works like a charm now.

  • No screensaver or sleep when outputting audio over HDMI

    I am using a Mac Mini i5 2.5 running 10.8.2.  This is a new setup and I have tested it with a standard computer monitor and it works fine, however when I implement it in my home theater setup running into a Pioneer VSX-1325 receiver, which I use for my video and audio switching the screen saver will not turn on once I have played any audio over the HDMI (iTunes, Netflix... etc).  From a cold boot the screen saver will boot up, until I trigger any sustained audio (non-system sounds) through the HDMI connection... This includes web based audio as well.  Has anyone else experienced this?  For this is a major issue as this display is connected to a plasma TV and I can not rely on my wife to always use a hot corner.  I do not want any image persistence or burn-in on my display.  I should add the the screensaver function will resume after a period of time when there is no audio being output. 

    Apparently this was an issue in Lion as well.  Thread below, but can Apple fix this ASAP before I have a Plasma with burn-in?

  • Simultaneous audio over HDMI and line out optical

    Anyone know if this is possible on the new mini?
    I currently use an AppleTV with HDMI to TV and optical digital to my older surround processor which does not accept HDMI.
    AppleTV is useful in that it outputs audio simultaneously over all audio connections - I suspect new Mac Mini might only allow single audio output at a time.

    ...I assume by saying this you're implying you can deliver video over HDMI but audio over toslink through the line out i.e. audio out to non-HDMI destinations is not automatically disabled by an active HDMI connection...
    Correct. You choose your audio output in the sound control panel (or Option-click on the sound icon in toolbar).
    That's ideal then really.
    ...- that would then allow HDMI video to TV, toslink to AV processor, and analogue audio from AV processor to TV analogue audio in to use when you only need the audio via TV speakers...
    I doubt the TV will take an analog audio in at the same time as HDMI video in. It likely only accepts analog audio on inputs that are also analog for video (component, s-video, composite).
    You're right, unlilely to be configurable for HDMI, there might be the odd set that allowed something like this but in general most wouldn't.
    ...A small utility/script might be feasible to toggle between the two on the Mini...
    Yes, entirely possible.
    Another option would be to do what I do: Disable the TV speakers and use the receiver for all sound. Since TV speakers suck, this is a great option. I haven't used built-in TV speakers for at least 15 years.
    I generally do that too, just sometimes for late night listening when others are in bed I switch to the TV speakers, but actually it'd be far easier with no TV audio as you'd not run into those instances when both TV and hi-fi are outputting and messing up the audio effect entirely.

  • Random No-Audio over Airplay?

    I use the Airplay feature on both the AppleTV in my living room and the Airport Express in my office to stream music from iTunes to my speakers.  The connection is up and running, but for some reason for random songs there is no audio even though iTunes show that the song is playing.  This happens even though the rest of the album/playlist plays fine, and the problem is fixed if I just tap the button to go back one track.  I have the problem on both the AppleTV and the Airport Express.  I am now running iOS6 and Mountain Lion and the latest iTunes, but I was experiencing the problem under older operating systems and versions of iTunes as well.
    Does anyone know what's wrong?  It sounds like a software bug to me.

    I should mention, by the way, that I ruled out issues with my HDMI cable or other hardware. I have tried multiple cables with the same results, and my roommates can all send audio over HDMI without problems.

  • Audio over multiple slides in Captivate 5

    I am new to using Captivate 5 and i'm trying to record audio in Captivate that will play while 3 slides advance on their own.
    I read something on a past thread that talked about clicking a "slide divider" - I can't find the "slide divider" and about a "distribution window" opening after I record the audio - that never appears.
    Can anyone help me with this?  It seems like it should be easy to find.
    Thanks
    Emily

    Hi Emily,
    You can record audio to 3 slides in different ways.
    Option1 :
    You can record audio individually on all the three slides by invoking the Slide audio dialog for every slide.
    1. On every slide you wish to record audio invoke the slide audio dialog ( from Audio >> Record to >> Slide ) and record for the single slide. Saving the recorded audio will add it to the slide you recorded.
    2. You can follow step 1 for all the three slides you wish to record.
    Option 2:
    You can record audio to all the three slides continuously in one go. You can do this in the SLIDES audio dialog
    For ex if you want to record audio for slides 1,2 and 3, then select slide 1 and invoke the slides audio dialog from Audio >> Record to >> Slides
    You get a "Record from Slide" dialog. Enter the Slide numbers for which you wish to record audio and click ok.
    This will open the slides audio dialog.
    Slides audio dialog shows up the slides selected in the "Record from slide" dialog. Enable "Continuous play" and "SWF Preview" and Click on the recording button. This will record audio over the three slides as you narrate. Audio will be added to all the three slides. You can see the Movie (SWF) preview or the Slide number mentioned in the top right of the preview pane to know the slide number you are recording to.
    If some portions of the audio spills over the next slide then you can arrange the markers in the EDIT tab. Here you can play the audio and pause at the point where you want your next slide to start and click on the button highlighted by Lilybiri. Its called the "Start Next slide here" button.
    After all the recording is done click on SAVE to add audio to all the three slides.
    Try out these and let me know if it works.

  • Z68MA-ED55 (B3) - Realtek HD Audio over HDMI

    Does anyone know if the motherboard Z68MA-ED55 (B3) is able to get HD Audio out from the HDMI connection?
    When I installed the Realtek HD codec I only see listed two digital outs:   optical and atapi.  (which I don't know what atapi is for)
    I think my motherboard need bios updates as mine is in version A1, and the latest A4 seems to fix some audio tables (which I don't know what it means neither..

    Yeah I checked and everything is fine... this is really weird!
    I've tested audio over HDMI on windows, so I know it's not the cable/HDMI port. I've looked through my pacman.log (I tend to update daily) and the only thing I can see which could affect it is a kernel update and intel-dri. I tried downgrading those and re-tested, to no avail.
    I also installed pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa before it stopped working. This could have broken it, but I've since uninstalled them and replaced /etc/asound.conf with my original, so that rules those out; unless there is something else that pulse could have broken?
    Cheers

  • No audio over HDMI

    So, I generally use Windows via Bootcamp on my 2012 Macbook Pro (15"), and I frequently hook it up to my projector and media center via an HDMI cable. Everything was working perfectly up until three days ago, when suddenly the laptop wouldn't send audio over HDMI. On the Windows side, I spent a couple days doing everything the internet said I should try (reinstalling drivers, rolling back drivers and updates, managine audio output devices, etc.) and never got anything. My graphics driver could see the HDMI device and said that there should be an HDMI device on my sound control, but it never showed up.
    I figured it was a problem with Windows, so I jumped over to the Mac side, where I'm running Mavericks. Just like the Windows side, video works flawlessly but there's no audio output. In Preferences, under "Sound" and "Output", I only see the speakers of my laptop and one AirPlay-compatible device that's set up in the room. Headphones work great. But there's no way to send audio over HDMI.
    Just to be safe, I installed a fresh version of Windows and a fresh version of Mavericks, and I'm still not getting anything. Is there something that I'm missing? Because right now it feels like it's a hardware issue, but there's no reason that it should be. And I'm confused about why I still have perfect HDMI video if it is a hardware issue.
    Any help on the issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I should mention, by the way, that I ruled out issues with my HDMI cable or other hardware. I have tried multiple cables with the same results, and my roommates can all send audio over HDMI without problems.

  • Advantages of 12 bit audio over 16?

    I am getting ready to shoot something with four cameras. I borrowed these cameras from friends, and one of the first things I did was to check and make sure 16 bit audio was set. I once shot some video with my camera and had some trouble in the capturing process in Final Cut Express because my camera was set to 12 bit, and I had the easy setup set for video shot in 16 bit. Now when I borrowed my friends' cameras, they were all set to 12 bit. I reset them to 16, but I am wondering why all these cameras SEEM to have a default setting of 12 bit audio (I don't know for sure if this was the default, but they were all on that). Are there any advantages to shooting with 12 bit audio over 16? Thanks in advance!

    +" ... wondering why all these cameras SEEM to have a default setting of 12 bit audio ..."+
    The manufacturers set the default at 12 bit because it makes it easier for them to support their marketing claims about the "4 audio tracks" and "audio dubbing / voiceover" capabilities of their cameras. They know their target markets and the concept of being able to record 4 audio tracks and do voiceovers in the camera is an appealing-sounding feature to the vast majority of video cam buyers - even though they'll never use it.
    For someone who wants to edit video, there is no advantage to shooting with 12-bit audio. And it can present a lot of disadvantages. Do yourself a favor and always shoot with 16-bit audio.

    Ok, rc7 is out. Dave Airlie disabled HDMI Audio on rv710,rv730.
    Dave Airlie (9):
          drm/radeon/kms: fix incorrect logic in DP vs eDP connector checking.
          drm/radeon/kms: use active device to pick connector for encoder
          drm/kms/radeon: pick digitial encoders smarter. (v3)
          drm/radeon/kms: release agp on error.
          drm/radeon/kms: move radeon KMS on/off switch out of staging.
          drm/radeon/kms: disable HDMI audio for now on rv710/rv730
          drm/radeon/kms: make initial state of load detect property correct.
          drm/radeon/kms: rs400/480 MC setup is different than r300.
          drm/radeon/kms: fix r300 vram width calculations
    EDIT: Further more, Jerome Glisse talked about future radeon development [1]
    Coming up in the Radeon DRM for the Linux 2.6.34 kernel (or releases thereafter) is support for un-mappable VRAM, support for Evergreen GPUs (Radeon HD 5000 "R800" series), use of the Linux power management API for better suspend-and-resume support, better DRM power management, HDMI audio for R700/800 graphics processors, and improved GPU lock-up recording.
    Therefore, Audio over HDMI is expected for 2.6.34+!
