Ethernet over HDMI from ThinkPad E330 to Samsung TV

Hello:
I need to know if my lenovo ThinkPad E330 with HDMI 1.4 port can send ethernet over HDMI 1.4 EC cable to a new Samsung TV with HDMI 1.4a port, or vice versa. The TV has DNLA and other internet features.
Thanks

In principle, HDMI 1.4 includes EC in it's standard, but it's pretty uncommon AFAIK.

Ethernet over hdmi?

does apple tv support ethernet over hdmi?

There is a reason. The whole reason why Ethernet over HDMI exists is to make it possible to have one physical Ethernet connection provide the needed connectivity to several devices tthat have HDMI. Ethernet over HDMI eliminates the need to have a local switch.

Video playback from Final Cut Pro studders over HDMI

I have a problem playing back video from FCP. The video output will studder during horizontal pans when I output via HDMI. The audio output is not affected.
I have been playing video successfully using FireWire for output in FCP, however, my new video switcher system will not support FireWire output.
What are some possible causes of this problem?
System stats:
* Mac Mini (2010 model)
* 8GB RAM
* OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
* Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 (Final Cut Studio 3)

@ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
@ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

Force RGB Color Space over HDMI?

Does anyone know how to force RGB over HDMI on a Macbook Pro with Retina Display. This is driving me nuts, as I have two U2410's. One is connected via DVI (using the DVI thunerbolt adapter), whilst the other is connected via HDMI. The monitor connected via HDMI negotiates the YpBPr color space, whilst the DVI monitor uses RGB. This makes it impossible to get the two monitors to produce the same colour. I can set the monitor to RGB within the OSD, but that just produces a mismatch of green and purple colours - in other words, the signal coming from the mac is still YpBPr so obviously setting the monitor to RGB ruins the colours completely.
There must be some driver setting or something to force HDMI to output RGB instead of YpBPr. Through Googling, it seems this applies to pretty much any Mac with a HDMI port, hence it's got to be a software issue, that's why I chose this forum. I'm about to duck home (I'm at work) and grab one of my HDMI -> DVI cables to see if that provides a work-around.
What happened to Mac's being a professional device. Surely they can't claim superior colour management if something as fundamental as the monitor's color space can't be controlled.

I have given up trying to use a Mac with a Dell or Samsung or Viewsonic monitor. Just ordered and received a StarTech.com DP to miniDP cable and was disappointed to see only YpbPR being output to my 22" Dell monitor. This is on top of the general fuziness and inaccurate colors. I've tried all sorts of other cables and adapters, both Apple and 3rd party, and the plain sad fact is that none of them work properly.
I plug in an old Cinema Display or a new Apple LED display and it works perfectly, colors look great, type isn't fuzzy.
I boot into Windows 7 on the same Mac using Bootcamp and my Dell monitor works perfectly.
It's OSX's display drivers that just don't play nice with Dell or Samsung or Viewsonic monitors. There's no other explanation because every other combination has problems with OSX and non-Apple monitors.
I can get into the long description of every possible adapter and cable I've tried (as well as the terminal command to adjust font smoothing). If I want the type to look right and the colors to look right, I just have to use an Apple monitor, which is aggravating as I have plenty of larger monitors here at work that I'd rather use.
Brief summary:
Three different MBPs, one a Retina display. Four different monitors from 3 different manufacturers, each with various connection options (HDMI, VGA, DVI, DP). DP to miniDP cable, DVI cable with Apple DVI to mDP adapter, HDMI to DVI with mDP adapter, couple of other similiar combinations of cables and adapters.
Bottom line is that all the screwing around produces a low quality, poor color accurate picture when the MBPs connect to 3rd party monitors. Plugging in the MBP to an Apple monitor (as old as a 2006 era Cinema Display) using any combination of adapter or cable looks great. Plugging in Windows 7 machines, either a dedicated Dell laptop or the MBPs in Bootcamp mode, all monitors look great. Also note that in OSX, the signal recevied by the monitors is YpbPr, but the same laptop in Bootcamp Windows 7 outputs RGB.
Hence, my guess that OSX display drivers are wonky except when plugged into an Apple branded monitor.

5.1 Surround over HDMI: Solve one problem, another rises up.

UPDATE 1: After a good night's sleep, and after doing a bit more reading on alsa-project.org (big props to this page), I managed to get a much better ~/.asoundrc together. It solves all my problems, and I can do everything I need. I've preserved the post below in case anyone else runs into these issues, and I'll post my solution as a response to this post.
UPDATE 2: Looks like I celebrated too early. Got more strange problems. Screw it, I'm going back to PulseAudio. I just wrote a wrapper script to kill and restart Pulse for applications that really, really need ALSA.
Okay. I've almost completely worn out my fingers trying to get this working. I feel like I'm playing Whack-a-Mole. This is a bit of a lengthy post, but I'll try my best to describe every problem I've encountered in as much detail as I can, followed by the solutions I found, followed by the problems each solution brought with it. By going through everything this way, mole by mole, hopefully it'll be easy to follow along and help me come to a universally working solution.
Summarized Version of Problems:
5.1 surround works only on specific applications which are robust enough to allow me to manually specify audio output options, and only if ALSA isn't configured at all
once I've configured ALSA, sound works on every application, but it's all downmixed to 2.0 stereo from this point on
installing PulseAudio lets me choose 5.1 surround as a default, but brings with it its own problems and drawbacks, namely the lack of passthrough support for encoded streams
Long-Winded Version:
I have my computer connected over HDMI to an AVR with a 5.1 surround speaker system. At first, I didn't have anything configured in ~/.asoundrc (or its global equivalent, /etc/asound.conf). Neither file existed, so everything was running off defaults. I got the name and device number of my card from aplay, ran speaker-test and played a six-channel test file in mplayer.

Everything seemed well, all six channels played from the correct location on both tests, but I did realize that the device number of the card was 3, not 0. A lot of applications that aren't as configurable expect the default card/device to be set properly, and audio won't work in those applications without specifying that in ALSA's configuration. Knowing this, I set the following in my ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card HDMI
device 3
ctl.!default {
type hw
card HDMI
device 3
This, however, ended up causing more problems. Oh, it made sound work on everything by default after that, but only for one application at a time! That surpised me, as I thought ALSA's big advantage over OSS is that it can multitask. Running the speaker-test the way I did earlier turned out fine, but when I tried playing that test file in mplayer, things got weird again. Here's the output from mplayer:

Why the hell is it looking for pcmC0D0p? It should be looking at pcmC0D3p. Did it not get the memo from ~/.asoundrc? Urgh.
I've also tried '-af channels=6' in place of '-channels 6' but the same result happened. It does the same thing without the '-ao alsa' option, I just specified it to trim down the output, so that I wouldn't be copying and pasting all kinds of other errors about not finding OSS or JACK or other things I don't have installed.
If I symlink /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p to /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p, it'll fix the problem, but that feels like one ugly kludge. I'd have to do it again over and over every time I reboot, too.
Not sure if this would help matters or not, but if anyone knows how to change my card's device number from 3 to 0, I'd like to try that as well, but I'm not sure how to do that sort of thing. I'm just guessing it might be worth trying, since everything looks for card0/device0 by default, and that kludge I tried earlier did have an effect, so maybe if we can just switch those device numbers with each other, everything would work smoothly without having to force anything through ALSA's configuration at all. I believe card0/device0 belongs to the Host Bridge... is there a way to have them trade their device numbers for one another's in a safe manner?
I can also get it to play if I specify the device like I did in my first test, using '-ao alsa:device=hdmi', but that defeats the purpose of getting good defaults set if I still have to set everything by hand before I play something. If I try playing the test file without any options, like so:
$ mplayer Nums_5dot1_24_48000.wav
... it will play, but only in two-channel stereo, and the parts that should happen in the center, rear and LFE channels get downmixed into the left and right channels.
I can get it to work in aplay, though! All six channels! Not that I plan on using this as my primary multimedia software.
$ aplay -c6 Nums_5dot1_24_48000.wav
The only solution I found so far that allows me to have 5.1 audio by default is to install the PulseAudio server, which is able to find a sink/source named 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-surround' and lets me choose that as my default. Only problem with this is that PulseAudio has its own problems.
Aside from the crackling sound issues in some Wine games, Pulse also has a much bigger drawback -- a complete lack of passthrough support, meaning I can't use encoded streams such as Dolby DTS and TrueHD with PulseAudio. I have a Harman/Kardon AVR and I'd like to get my money's worth out of it, so I'd really like to figure out a solution in ALSA without using Pulse at all.
Does anyone know how I can have my cake and eat it, too? I just need 5.1 surround, by default, in ALSA without PulseAudio.
HUGE thanks to anyone who tries to help here. This is really making me sad and frustrated, I've been using Arch for quite a while now and this is the first real big stumper I've come across that forced me to post a thread. Otherwise I've been having a wonderful time.
Edited because I tried something different that removed *some* issues, but the above problems still remain.

Well, I thought I fixed it doing this...
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1138
ipc_key_add_uid true
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
format S32_LE
channels 8
rate 192000
period_size 9600
buffer_size 38400
... but then realized it strangely makes applications that run at 640x480 have no sound at all. No idea why the video resolution is screwing up the sound, but that's what's happening, because if I set the resolution any higher, the sound comes back.
I'm going back to PulseAudio, I feel like ALSA is mocking me. I wrote a wrapper script for the few times where pure, Pulse-less ALSA will be necessary for me. Here it is, in case it helps anyone else. I've tested it with XBMC, it turns off Pulse and allows ALSA to pass through encoded streams unhindered. It also works with some Wine applications that have scratchy audio glitches in Pulse.
#!/bin/bash
echo "autospawn = no" > $HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio --kill &> /dev/null
"$*"
rm -f $HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio --start &> /dev/null
I'm removing the SOLVED tag because technically I didn't resolve any of my original issues, I more or less gave up on what I wanted to do and found another way to satisfy my needs, but it still isn't as elegant as I had hoped for. In any case, I'm done with this issue for now and the forseeable near-future, but if anyone has anything further to add, feel free.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

No sound over hdmi, ION2 system

Hi there
I'm trying to get sound output over hdmi connection without any success. I'm totally out of ideas as I tried it with openelec.tv and a xbmc live system. All the time I never heard anything. I tested with speaker-test and mplayer. I tried stuff from the guide here: http://breden.org.uk/2010/09/30/shuttle … ta-2-live/, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=157347 and also from xbmc wiki:
-different settings of asound.conf (however afaik this does not affect speaker-test -D plughw:X,Y -cN)
-options for the snd-hda-intel module
-unmuting
-different input channels of my receiver
-different nvidia driver versions
Here are my specs:

Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI

*Qosmio G50 No sound over HDMI*
Hi all,
Hopefully anyone recognises the following and would be so kind to help me. I have searched the forum and tried severall of the offered solutions mainly applicable to Vista, but still.
I hooked up my Qosmio G50 to my Philips LCD by HDMI cable. Picture is ok but there is no sound. I tested the cable with a Toshiba Satelite Pro L550 and it works allright. Picture and Sound are working. But that laptop has Intel HDMI audio.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I upgraded by Toshiba update DVD from Vista 64 bit. Sadly I do not know for sure if HDMI audio did work before that. I think so because I did use the laptop for watching a movie on a Panasonic plasma. But I can not remember if that was before or after the upgrade.
Realtek HD Audio device is installed driver version 6.0.1.5923
Realtek HDMI Output is selected als default playback device.
Testing gives me graphical response ( the indicator flashes ) but no audible sound from my tv.
Choosing the other audio device Realtek Digital output changes nothing and I do not believe that this would work anyway.
I have tried removing the device and reinstalling the original drivers. I have tried REaltek drivers from their website.
I have tried changing the view to HDMI only but that does nog change anything either.
One thing that worries me is that under Sound / Realtek HDMI Output / properties / Supported Formats there are no formats present. The Satelite gives me DTS audio and some other. So I am wondering if there should be formats present and if so how can I change this / add any.
Please forgive me if there are errors in the text. I am translating this from a dutch language version of Windows 7.
Please help me. Any suggestions are welcome!

Jeka-?? & PinkPanther thanks for your replies!
The solution for the G30 you mention is not the one for me I am sorry to say. I have tried that one allready. Windows automatically switches on the HDMI audio out when I connect an HDMI cable. Connecting the cable before switching on the TV and laptop is a good thing to try because it eliminates possible problems with the connection. The connection in my case is ok.
At some point I concluded that there must be a softwareproblem of some sort.
I have found the solution over night. Could not sleep anyway. I did not know that the videodrivers are also handling HDMI audio out but in a way it makes sense. I have completely deinstalled the NVIDIA video drivers. After downloading the latest drivers and installing them everything works absolutely fine!

Envy M6 (c2l95ua#ABL) - Windows 8 - Turn on second display (TV over HDMI) as computer wakes

I want my TV (used as a second display over HDMI) to turn on automatically as the laptop turns on or resumes from sleep/hibernation. (As does a monitor on a desktop PC or the built-in screen on a laptop)
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is supposed to allow to turn on TV over HDMI.
The television is CEC compatible and has CEC option turned on. Theres also an option called "Allow CEC compatible devices to turn on television", which is turned on.
Can this laptop turn on a TV through HDMI, with or without CEC?
How?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply.
Is the T.V. entering standby or powering off after a certain amount of time?
The TV is in what the manufacturer calls standby-mode.
http://www.insigniaproducts.com/products/televisions/NS-39E340A13.html
What model is the T.V.?
http://www.insigniaproducts.com/products/televisions/NS-39E340A13.html
TheT.V. should wake from standby upon receiving a signal from the notebook.
I agree. It should.
To the best of my knowledge, the notebook will not turn the T.V. on from a powered off state. At least, I haven't found any indication that this model will.
Anyone else has a solution? There could be a way to turn it on from off state if HDMI CEC is implemented by HP.
Or another way..?

Ethernet over Mains solution??

Hi All, at the moment my desktop PC is hardwired into the router but due to building work that needs to change, at least temporarily. So I’m thinking about Ethernet over Mains adaptors. While I’m doing it I would really like an adaptor by the TV. So I need three devices, one for the router, one for the TV and one for the desktop.
I know that these things don’t share surge adaptors and a few other things and I’m not quite sure about putting one on a standard extension lead, so I’m looking for adaptors with pass through mains.
If it makes a difference I already have a Devolo dLan 500 AVtriple+ on the way from Amazon that I ordered thinking it was a triple pack, not a single triple adaptor but £60+ I was expecting to get the solution for that not a single device. Also I don’t need them to be wireless and I only get 5mbps broadband and if I need a high volume transfer between devices, which is rare, I would be ok plugging into the router which is a home hub 2.
Having already messed up I am starting my research again but thought I would ask here in case somebody has already solved this or has any advice.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Thompson,
I have just set up a powerline network, using devolo devices.
So, basically you want to plug your router into a network device, so your internet connection can be shared remotely by your PC and your TV/Sky using ethernet cables? Devolo do three pack setups, in the following guises - the second option having powerline pass through connectors...
You could go for either this:
Devolo dLAN 500 Duo Network Kit
or this (power pass through):
Devolo dLAN 500 Duo Plus Network Kit
I am only stating devolo as I have knowledge of them, and are a piece of cake to set up - literally plug in and away you go, you don't even have to bother with the software that comes with them to monitor the network if you don't want to, although it is worth it as it will auto detect the firmware on the devices and let you know if there are updates available.
Devolos support seems pretty good as well, I am currently in the middle of a very extensive email exchange with their support team in Germany because i emailed them purely enquiring why I couldn't see a device on an old laptop using their software.They have been very helpful so far.
Dare I say it I would stick with the 500mbps as devolo no longer produces the 200 versions, although are still available from various outlets.
You could buy another make, getting a two pack and a third single adaptor, but I don't think there will be much difference in price when all told. At least with the above packs they are all in one box.
For additional information, I don't find these drop off in terms of speed that much. I have a device plugged in upstairs which is connected to my router, then I have a 500Av Triple + Wireless downstairs, into which is linked a slingbox and my sky box, and a wii connected wirelessly. The transfer speed between the two devices shows 494mbs, so a drop off of 6mbs. I also have an older 200 Av in another room, which shows a transfer speed of around 178mbs.
Hope the above helps.

Dolby Digital over HDMI failure

I am connected to my Onkyo AV receiver through HDMI and when I first turn my receiver on it displays Dolby Digital but as soon as I start netflix DD goes away. I have tried setting DD "on" and "auto" in apple tv settings. Anyone having any luck with DD?

Ok... I found out that the dolby digital over HDMI issue is no fault of AppleTV. Most content from Netflix is not broadcast in Dolby. A good movie that is in DD is "The Warriors Way". You'll even see the Dolby icon at the main movie menu.

Macmini 2010 sound problem over hdmi

Hi, my name is Diego im from Argentina, well i have a problem with my macmini 2010 unibody, i have set up the mini over hdmi in to my receiver ( yamaha 663 ) and hdmi out to my LCDTV, i set up in sound properties HDMI output ok all is fine but if i am listening music in itunes and turn off the tv the signal is off to receiver and the music sounds in the built in speaker of the mac mini, any idea to disable this speakers o built sound card ? i want to passtrough over hdmi with the TV off, thanks to all best regards, Diego.-

I still get daleks too from time to time if I try to use 1080i with Dolby Digital into a Sony Bravia.
The BT Vision box HDMI is known to be flaky, though it sounds like you've got an extreme example of the problem with the Tosh.
It's possible to improve things a bit by using an HDMI extender to recondition the signal before it enters the TV. It might be worth a try. Try http://www.hdcable.co.uk/

G62-a50sf : (only) audio out over HDMI?

We have a G62-a50sf notebook at my gf's place that we'd like to use as the source for a (somewhat) audiophile audio set-up. One possibility to get better-than-headphone-output into a good receiver AND avoid using a separate DAC would be to feed the digital audio output over HDMI to the receiver.
The question I'm hoping to get an answer to is: will this be possible while retaining video output on the laptop's own screen?
thanks in advance,
René

Sorry, but your Mac doesn't send sound over HDMI, only mid-2010 and later MBP's send sound (and even then some require different adapters). Yours is a 2009 MBP, so only video will go over the HDMI cable. You will need to run audio from the audio out to your TV or digital audio out from your optical audio out to your receiver.

How do I get LR Slideshow to output 4k images over HDMI to my Sony 4k Projector? VPLVW1100ES?

From my 2014 15" MacBook Pro How do I get LR Slideshow to output 4k images over HDMI to my Sony 4k Projector VPLVW1100ES? I can work in LR on the Sony at full resolution but Slideshow will only output 1080p.
Thanks,
John

Hello JaeRoc48,
I understand that the sound is not working.
Go to start.
Type Sound.
Select sound.
Select speakers as default.
Click OK.
Let me know how everything goes.
