Does mini display port support audio to hdmi?

No, you need to run your audio separately from the headphone jack to an audio in port on the TV.

  • Does mini display port support audio on my Imac? Late 2009

    Hello,
    I would like to connect my Imac to my home entertainment system.  I have the late 2009 21.5" model.  If I get a mini display port to HDMI adapter will that run both audio and video for me or do I have to run seperate audio?
    Thanks!

    The good news is Yes.  You just barely made it, support for audio over MDP is:
    iMac (Late 2009) and later.
    Make sure to buy a MDP to HDMI adapter that supports audio.  It should say this explicitly like this one.

  • 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.

  • I have lost all sound on macbook pro 10.6 and in ITunes can no longer play any cinema or tv shows purchased.  I believe it may have been caused by recent use of mini-display port   Toslink Audio to the TV.  What can be done?

    I no longer have any sound on my macbookpro 10.6.8, not even beginning chime.
    Furthermore, I find that I no longer have any images as well as no sound, from any
    of my Itunes cinema, tv show purchases, etc.
    I recently watched last week a couple of tv episodes through my TV
    using a Mini Display Port + Toslink Audio purchased at Apple.
    I use this device occasionally and haven't had any  problems til now.
    Any suggestions to right the problem?.

    In System Preferences>Sound do you have your internal speakers set as the output source?
    You may have toggled on optical output with the Toslink cable - check to see if there's a red light coming from the port. If so, quickly plug and unplug a set of headphones for a number of times to see if you can toggle the switch back from optical to the internal speakers.
    Good luck,

  • Does the Mini Display port carry audio?

    I am trying to setup a collaboration centre in my school where I would have 4 macbook pros attached to a TV. http://i53.tinypic.com/jkdduw.jpg
    I was going to buy a KMV and Audio switch to connect all the laptops to the TV but then it occurred to me that the TV has 4 HDMI ports. HDMI carries audio... I found a mini display to HDMI adapter online.
    Now I need to know if the Mini Display Port on the newest model of MacBook Pro 13" carries audio?
    It is my understanding that the specs for Mini Display say that it is possible. The question is did apple implement it?
    Does anyone know?

    Yes - See Apple's document here.

  • 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

    Hi 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?

    Hello,
    I have also have been trying to get audio to work via MDP to HDMI, and have been surfing groups to find out how but it seems that many people have had no luck.
    But with a little trial and error, I found that the video sets itself up (plug and play) however the audio settings need selecting and hey presto the audio does work.
    Hope my maiden post helps.

  • What do I need to connect my late 2009 Mac book (mini display port) to the TV and get sound?

    I'm totally confused!
    I have a late 2009 model Macbook. And I want to connect it to my TV.
    So my research has led to believing I need a Mini display port adapter and a HDMI cable - but from some of what I have read, this won't carry sound...
    Can anyone clarify this and what I do actually need?

    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with theHDMI.
    If you have the Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the MiniDisplay Port there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.

    Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in.  That's about all  you can do.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Why does iTunes not display hdcp content on my second monitor?  The adapter monitor and cable have HDCP Support.  This also occurs with a rocketfish mini display port to hdmi adapter.

    It works for a time and then fails.
    ITunes 11.04.
    iMac Purchased Early 2013.

    Seems to work when I swapped dapaters from theb 3.0 adapter to the mini display port adapter.  THis is the same thing that got it worling the first time byt in reverse.
    Had already tried clearing the PRAM.  If it occurs again, I will have to try redetecting displays next time.  Judging by what I saw reading through these forums it will happen again,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's exactly what you need. A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241?viewlocale=en_US
    This is the only way to view a video on the TV. After connecting your MacBook Air to the TV, image on your TV should show immediately. Then, press Command and F1 keys to mirror your MacBook Air display, and open the video

  • I have a macbook 13"screen purchased in 2007; I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adaptor but it does not fit.   what kind of adaptor will work for this model?

    I have a Macbook, 13" screen, purchased in 2007.    I want to hook it up to my HDTV; I purchased a mini display port to hdmi adapter but it does not fit.   Any suggestions?

    If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
    If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.

  • Audio mini display port - hdmi

    Hi, I have a Macbook6,1 (2010) and I would to know if I there is a mini display-port to hdmi cable with audio support.
    Thank you.

    It wasn't a glitch. It wasn't until 1 1/2 years after they developed the Mini DisplayPort that they figured out how to route audio through it. From Wikipedia: "On 13 April 2010, Apple added support for audio out using Mini DisplayPort in their MacBook Pro product line."  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort
    There is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI.
