Getting audio through TV with Mini-display

I recently purchased and just received a mini display-to-HDMI cable for my MBP. I plugged it in and the video pops right up on the TV and everything works fine excpet the audio will only play through the computer's speakers or things hooked in through the computer. Is there a setting or something I'm missing? I've checked the cable and MBP model and both are audio compatible. Any help would be awesome!

If you go into system preferences, sound, select the output tab and click on your TV/Display name it should put the audio out through the TV.

  • HT201177 no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro

    no audio when using a mini display port to HDMI cable to TV on my Macbook pro. can only see the video

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.

    If your display port does not support audio you need an adapter like this one

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

  • Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

    What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV?  If so, I'm afraid it's not possible.  However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then.  There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.

  • Anyone else having trouble connecting MBP with thunderbolt port (TBp) and 27"iMac with mini display port (MDp)

    I have a 27" Imac.i7 with mini displayport and MBP13 i5 with thunderbolt port. Some time ago I tried to connect my old MBP with miniDP  to The 27"iMac I Failed so did the apple centre they refunded cable costs and said I'd be contacted by Cupertino. That was 9 months ago, now replaced MBP with 13 inch(**** I can use my iMac as display!). Does not work phoned Fast Lane very helpful guy called JIM emailed me some software/firmware update links.  Still no display linking. One of the links was for a couple of updates for a TBp equiped 27" iMac mine is only MDp equiped. Failing to find any MDp updates in apple support.  Anyone have any Ideas!  My lad has a later 27"i5 he uses Xbox 360 no problem on his but it wont look at my MBP.
    Beginning to feel like some of the kit that went with a fully loaded 5500 worked eventually. Computer and FM radio, Photography kit fine, video capture audio capture forget it.  Too many crashes and resets made it impractical.

  • My Ipod is 5-6 years old.  Suddenly, I'm getting audio through only one ear bud.  Is this a common occurrence?  And does this just mean I need to replace them?

    My Ipod touch is 5-6 years old.  Suddenly, I'm receiving audio through only one ear bud.   Is this a common occurrence?  And does this just mean I need to replace them? 

    It's fairly common for headphones after extensive use (5+ years).  If you have another set of headphones (any type with same connector), try it with the iPod to determine if the fault is on the headphones or on the iPod.  Or you can try the same headphones with another device, to see if they are working fine or you get the same audio problem.

  • Can I buy a new iMac with mini display connection instead of thunderbolt?

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro which I would like to connect to use the display & am aware that a 2009 MacBook will not connect to a Thunderbolt Display. My husband has a new MacBook Air which has thunderbolt, but I think he can get a thunderbolt to mini display connector for him to use.

    I want to be able to connect my 2009 MacBook Pro to the display on the iMac. The reason I asked about the display is because I know thunderbolt is not compatible with a 2009 MacBook Pro.
    From reading other posts I understand that the Cinema Display connections are compatible but not the Thunderbolt Display connection.
    I am presuming that the display that comes with the iMac is the same as the Thunderbolt Display which can be purchased separately, but maybe I am wrong?
    Thanks for your help.

    I have a MacBook Pro(Mid 2012, running  OS X 10.9.4) and I recently just bought a mini display port to VGA adapter so I could hook it up to my dynex TV but when I connect everything my TV says no signal.  Do I need to do something in settings?

  • Connecting Cinema Display with mini display port to macbook pro with thunderbolt port

    I am trying to connect a 27" cinema display (2010) that has a mini display port cable out of the back, into my macbook pro (2013) with thunderbolt ports.  The mini display port cord fits into the thunderbolt port on the Macbook Pro, however the macbook pro does not detect the cinema display and the cinema display does not have any picture on the screen.  The USB plugs in fine and sound comes out, and I have the adapter for the magsafe to magsafe 2 and that works fine, it just the actual display.  Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hello mmholt,

  • Wi-Fi Sharing doesn't work together with mini Display port

    Hello everyone!
    I can tell you fantstic problem. Sorry for my English - i'm from Russia!
    The problem:
    1. Share Wi-Fi via bonjour to other devices such as iPad, iPhone, windows computers, etc. I'm using Mac os X Snow Leopard! Everything is fine!
    2. Just only I plugging hdmi/dvi adapter - INTERNET STOPS TO WORK!!!
    It looks like fantastic. If just I plugging-off remote monitor! Internet works fine! If only turn on! - It doesn't work!
    Can You only believe???
    When you plug remote monitor or plasma TV via mini display port - Wi-Fi sharing is not working!!!
    I try to solwe this problem about 1 year - and found this forum. Nobody on internet ask this question!!!
    How can I solw this problem????
    My assumptions that minidisplay port and bonjour for wi-fi sharing using the same port and mini dispay have more priority!!!
    But it strange - why nobody in internet ask this question!
    Thanks! I'm waiting for you answer!

    Yes, I actually checked that it was 7.1.2  Not sure when they released it, but I had been trying to get this to work all last night.
    But I did try something new...I had set restrictions for my son in Settings.  If I turn "off" all restrictions, the app will load properly and bring me to Netflix sign in.
    Do you know what Restiction settings would prevent Netflix from loading?  I naturally want to lock down the iPad so that my son can not surf explicit websites or install, delete, and in-app purchase.  I did add Netflix to approved list though.
    Thanks.

  • Audio/Firewire Problems with Mini, Please Help!

    I just bought a brand new Mini from Amazon.com and am having some problems. First, when I plug computer speakers into the mini, the sound continues to come from the internal speaker and the mini ignores the speakers. In System Preferences, it doesn't even recognize that something is plugged into the machine.
    Second, the Mini does not recognize my external, Firewire iSight camera. In System Profiler, it does not show anything connected to the port when the camera is connected.
    The Mini is the latest rev running 10.4.11. Leopard upgrade disks should be in the mail soon.
    Any ideas as to what is wrong? Should I just return to Amazon for a replacement? Thanks for your help!

    Having just posted in a similar situation, pardon the cut and paste, but these are the first two (and easiest) things to try:
    First reset parameter RAM - it's an area of non-volatile memory used for system settings and hardware configuration. It it gets corrupted, it can cause odd problems.
    Reset PRAM
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.
    Next, perform an SMC reset. The SMC is the device which controls system hardware and devices, so if there is a problem with hardware components not functioning, it could be that.
    To reset the SMC on an Intel mini:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Getting audio through TV instead of MACBook using HDMI

    I have a MacBook Pro - late 2008 model and apparently the Audio works differently using HDMI Cable. I have got perfect picture on the tv but no sound. After 3 days of reading other questions and answers I am still lost. So... I have a Macbook, a 2 year old Vivo TV, an HDMI Cable and the Apple adapter to use the HDMI Cable. My only problem is no sound. From my reading I can see that I need 'audio jack' and RCA cables... WHAT are these and how can I finally just get some sound on my tv using my mac. I really dont want to buy a new computer if I can avoid it.

    If you go into system preferences, sound, select the output tab and click on your TV/Display name it should put the audio out through the TV.

  • X-Fi Extreme audio and FlexiJack with mini-tosl

    Hi.
    I was told that you can use a standard mini-toslink to toslink cable instead of the i/o module if you only want optical spdif output from this card.
    So i bought me the card and a the cable.
    On my gamer pc the optical led of the FlexiJack is glowing all the time even if i dont use the port.
    On my HTPC (the one with the Extreme Audio card) the FlexiPort is black as night and ofcourse i dont get any digtal signal to my reci'ver. The decoder tab where you are suposed to be able to set "Dolby Digital/DTS Bitstream Out" is absent..

    Anyone? I really need to get this working...

  • 30'' Cinema Display with mini-display-port to dual link DVI adapter usb hub

    Hi all, I don't know if any one of you experience this issue and can help me.
    I am using an unibody macbook pro (late2008 model) to connect to a 30'' cinema display via the famous $100 mini diaplay port to dual link DVI adapter. I have connected the usb cable from the ACD to the adapter and the usb cable of the adapter to my macbook pro. This setting works fine under OSX 10.5.7.
    When I am using Windows Vista under bootcamp the USB hub on the back of the ACD doesn't work. The device manager of Vista shows an excalmatory mark besides the device "Generic usb hub"; and it reports a problem of "the device cannot be started".
    I doubted this problem is due to Windows cannot recognise the $100 adapter as a "generic usb hub"; and apple has not release a driver for this $100 adapter for windows.
    Since my MBP only has 2 usb ports and the $100 adapter already occupied one, it would be very much helpful if the usb hub of the ACD can work just like in OSX. Can anyone think of any suggestion?
    Much appreciated for reading this post and thank you.

    i don't have an answer for you, but i feel your pain. very frustrating when this happens with Apple products and Vista/Bootcamp. wish they were more compatible, for it would make things so much easier for the consumer.
