Connecting apple tv & ps3 to hp monitor

Hi I have a hp6 desktop I have connected apple tv & ps3 through a multi hdmi splitter yo my monitor I have picture but no sound? I have connected digital optical audio cable from pc to these devices but no joy? any ideal why this isn't working?

I have no idea about the ps3 but Apple TV outputs audio thru the HDMI or the digital audio.  Few PC's actually accept audio inputs from digital, they usually are outputs.  So what are the model numbers of the monitor and PC?

  • Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

    Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
    It needs to be wireless.
    I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
    Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

    My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
    Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
    PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
    Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i connect Apple Tuhderpolt display to PC

    How do i connectit Apple Monitor  to PC?

    I am afraid you cannot (at least not yet) according to the system requirements stated on the site you posted above.
    The only Thunderbold capable devices I know if are the ones from Apple listed there.

  • What cables are best when connecting apple tv, my HD tv has 2 HDMI slots but they are both in use, one for Sky and one for cinema. There are no hdmi slots spare on the cinema either ...

    Mine has four  Seriously shauntana the splitter is easy, a simple click to changre feed and eventually you will damage the HDMI port or cable by taking it in and out.  True you can only use one feed at a time nut you can only use one port on the telly at one time too.  I used it on my old one port telly for PS3 and Sky and it worked a treat.

  • Surround sound+ps3+pc+22" monitor

    My question is: How is it possible to connect all of these devices? I have a sound blaster Z sound card with 6.1 surround sound hooked up to my computer, which is connected to my 22" monitor. Plus I have my PS3 connected to the back of my monitor but it runs off the stupid speakers on the monitor which sound crappy. I currently have the 6 speakers connected to the sound card. I'de like to run both the ps3 and the pc with surround sound and not have to unplug the speakers from the pc and to the ps3 and so on. Please help me with this issue someone. I also have a 7900 gt oc bgf nvidia graphics card if this some how also helps.

    Most of those "surround" headsets only have two channels, and the "surround" sound is emulated by the driver, which I guess does not have a linux version.
    This is probably the reason why you only see a stereo device - it's what it is on the the hardware level. What the linked "solution" does is, it tells pulseaudio to use 8 channels per default and  enables remixing both regular channels and LFE. This leads to pulseaudio downmixing the 8 channels to 2 to match the numbers of your speakers. Essentially, this is what the windows driver should be doing, so if it sounds different, it's probably a matter of different implementation/enhancements the dolby driver includes.
    Bottom line: you can't have 8 channels on a device which only has 2 channels on the hardware level. This is why I went for a Roccat Kave back then - it has 6 physical speakers, 3 on each side.

  • How to connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp s35

    How do I connect apple tv 2 to pioneer pdp.s35 tv? I connected to one of my pioneer receiver's hdmi ports but when I cycle through the inputs I can't find apple tv.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't have or indeed know anything about your receiver, but unless the Apple TV can see an active device and connect via HDMI it won't turn on. You will need to set your receiver to use the correct input and then turn on the Apple TV.

  • I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

    I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

  • How to connect apple tv2 to receiver

    Apple tv is connected to tv via hdmi - working perfectly. But i would like to connect apple tv to my receiver as well - for surround sound on movies and for streaming audio from the computer.
    My receiver has 3 optical ports in addition to the DVD coax ( CD, CDR and TV) which one do i use to connect from apple tv  - none seem to work.
    Apple TV set to dolby output.
    receiver digital in is turned on
    No sound from the receiver
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to use one of the optical ports.
    Are you sure they are optical ports.
    Are you sure you are matching the input to the output correctly on the receiver.
    Have you tried adjusting the audio out and Dolby digital settings on the Apple TV.

  • How to connect Apple TV when I have run out of HDMI Ports?

    I have a Sony Bravia TV with 3 HDMI Ports - in those I have connected:
    - Sony Home Theater Surround Sound
    - Playstation
    - Sky Digital TV HD Box
    Is there a way to connect Apple TV without disconnecting any of the above? (and without buying a new TV with 4 HDMI ports!)

    lkrupp is correct, the only soution is to add what's called an HDMI switch to your setup.  The HDMI switch normally has 2, 4, 6, or 8 HDMI inputs and one output.  The output goes to your display.  You then select which input you want to choose.In your case, you can do one of two things:
    Connect all your sources to the HDMI switch.  You then select sources via the HDMI switch and you no longer need to change HDMI inputs on your TV.
    Disconnect one of the HDMI sources you have (let's say it's the Playstation) and plug both the Playstation and the APPLE TV into the switch.  In this setup you need to change the input on both the TV and the HDMI switcher.
    The simplest setup in your case is to buy a 4 or 8 port HDMI switch and put all your devices on the switch.  If you are looking for inexpensive HDMI switches, you need to look at Monoprice.  The stuff is all manufactured overseas and can be hit or miss but it's the cheapest that you'll find.  If you feel like you need some guidance and help, then try www.hdtvsupply.com.  They have a good selection and great support.

  • How to connect Apple TV to DVD blu-ray home theatre

    Hi guys, I am planning to buy Apple TV2 and I was wondering is there setup guide for connecting to HDTV and home theatre system. I currently have LG HDTV and LG DVD Blu-ray Home Theatre. They are connected with HDMI 1.3 cable and I had to get optical cable to get sound from TV to Home theatre.
    How is Apple TV fits into that? I have 1 HDMI slot free on TV and 2 HDMI inputs on DVD system.
    I was thinking just to connect Apple TV to DVD via HDMI? Would that put sound on home theatre system?
    Thank you in advance.

    You have read home theatre manual about playing sound from external device.
    You doesn't need to connect home theatre to tv at all as you have get video from apple tv.
    Connect video output from apple tv to tv(may carry sound along) and optical cable from apple tv to home theatre.
    That will do. You can mute sound of tv(in case hdmi carry sound along) or using other function(on samsung ) and hear from home theatre sound from speakers.
