When using HDMI to HDMI cable the Master Sound Control is locked.

master sound control is locked when using HDMI to HDMI using an HDTV for the display.
Although itunes sound control works. Why is the Master Control locked?

Hello,
I am new to OS X and i have tried to adjust the sound when plugged to the secondary monitor through HDMI which of course didn't work.
I have been using windows and a linux for years now, and everything works seamless.
I believe that this could be easily solved by Apple as long as their are willing to do it. Having a virtual device for sound control is not that difficult.
All the bests
There are two ways to 'solve' this.
Alter the volume before sending the digital signal down the HDMI connection, this means the signal is no longer exactly as it was originally. Apple's current (apparent) view is that this should be done at the end i.e. playback device not at the originating (Mac) end so as to minimise the number of devices making changes to the signal. Basically 'volume' is the amplitude of a an analogue wave form. (Where else do you think the term 'amp' comes from.)
Not to alter the volume of the signal at the Mac end but instead to send a signal down the HDMI cable to tell the end i.e. playback device to alter the volume, this uses a standard called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), unfortunately at the moment no Macs support this standard - it has to be supported at a hardware level so a simple Apple software upgrade to implement this is not possible. I have previously logged an official enhancement request for this with Apple - the more people who do this the more likely it is to be added, since now all Macs include HDMI it might happen at some point.
As an addendum to option 2 above, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx this would however require software support in whatever application is being used. XBMC for Mac does support it.

Why does my TV not pick up my Mac/HDMI cable?, Why does my TV not pick up my Mac/HDMI cable?

Basically my Toshiba Regza TV has recently become hit and miss in detecting my HDMI cable with my Macbook Pro as my input.
Has anyone else been having a similar problem?

That is normal. the iPod does not appear in Finder.
The only way to sync music is via iTunes.

Hi, deployed to Europe and trying to set up my apple tv to a JVC model LT-32EX18, it has a 2 port HDMI and the HDMI cable that comes with apple does not work, what do I need to purchase? TIA

Apple TV doesn't come with HDMI cable, so you would have had to buy the cable separately unless the Apple TV was bought used. Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller?
Are you sure you're trying the right input?
The other is a smaller one that is for micro USB (which is used for support purposes only)

IPhone 4: connecting to TV for the 1st time with new "Composite AV Cable" only plays sound, not video on TV. However, this new cable works fine with old iPod to play videos on TV. Suggestions?

I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my TV to play videos via use of a new "Composite AV Cable" but only sound will play off TV, not video. I've tried every yellow/red/white input on the TV but to no avail. Any suggestions?

The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC. In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing". I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

Suddenly Podcast app only produces sound through speaker, not headphones

I have not updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S because I heard there were issues, and I've already ordered (but haven't yet received) my new iPhone 6. I don't know if there was a Podcast update that downloaded automatically separately, but suddenly last night, I couldn't hear any sound from the Podcast app through my headphones. I thought it might be a problem with the headphones, because when I removed them, the file played fine through the 4S's speaker, and when I attached it to a clock radio later last night, it played fine through that too.
This morning, however, I tried listening to songs via Spotify with the headphones, and they worked just fine. But the Podcast app still didn't produce any sound. OR, rather, when I turned the volume to max, you could hear something, but not loud enough to actually make out the voices. I then tried playing an album in my Music app, and it worked fine. I tried restarting the iPhone. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Podcast app. I tried a hard reset of the iPhone. The only result from all of that was that now something's wrong with the Music app too, and while the music track comes through, the vocal track is very quiet, almost inaudible.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, how/why this is happening and most importantly, what to do about it?
Help!

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, to rule out a software issue.
If still no sound, you might have a hardware problem, and the phone needs to be serviced.

HDMI CABLE BETWEEN LAPTOP AND TV WILL NOT WORK HELPPLEASE!!

I wanted to watch hockey from my laptop on the tv but i get nothing when i hook the cable. Is there something that has to be set or turned on??
I bought the computer about a year ago so it is not old. The computer is a; Dell Inspiron 1525 and the TV is a; Visio 42 inch
Any help will make me happy, Thank you, Mike {Removed per Forum Guidelines}

Majority of laptops are going to have a default setting of outputting video just to the display. You actually have to tell the laptop to display images out of the HDMI rather than it's screen. This is usually done by holding the "Function Key" down and cycling thru the video output options. The "function" or "fn" key can be located in the lower left hand portion of your keyboard next to the "ctrl" button your video options are typically worked in with your F1 - F12 bottons at the top of your keyboard. Your "FN" key will most likely be a different color than the rest of the keyboard hold this down while searching for your video output key (once again in you F1 - F12 keys) it will have a monitor logo that should be the same color as the "FN" key. Keep holding the "FN" key down and tap the video output key to cycle thru all the options until you find the right one.

No audio through HDMI cable when listening to audio tracks but ok with vids

Please Help!!
Ok I hooked up my HP to my Samsung 1080p hdtv through an HDMI cable. My computer displays fine on the TV, the visualizer in ITunes shows just fine, but the audio only comes out of the speakers on my laptop when playing a regular music track. When it plays one of the bonus music videos on the same album, audio and video both play. When I play the songs in any other interface, ie windows media player and HP quick play, audio tracks play fine through HDMI. So this has to be something with ITunes. Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Wouldn't you know it, just figured it out. You have to make sure that itunes is not loaded before hooking up the HDMI cable. So,
turn off itunes,
hook up the HDMI cable,
(go to sound [control panel] and make sure that HDMI has the checkmark next to it),
load itunes,
enjoy.

USB Dock 3.0 Audio through DVI-HDMI cable?

Hey there!
I currently own the yoga 2 pro and I am looking for a suitable dock. One thing that prevented me from ordering the usb 3.0 dock was that I am not sure whether with a DVI to HDMI cable I am able to get audio from my laptop to a TV.
For better understanding: Laptop -> USB 3.0 -> USB 3.0 Dock -> DVI -> HDMI -> TV
I asked my local retailer and they said it isn't possible but I am not sure whether they tested my method. They said I'll be needing a seperate audio jack cable -.- ugly... with my old 460 GTX I was able to transmit sound with the same DVI/HDMI cable
Can anyone who owns the USB 3.0 dock confirm that audio through DVI-HDMI cable to a TV is working / not working?
Any help is appreciated!
Greetings

DVI won't carry audio on the ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock.

Connecting ipad2 to viera TV without HDMI cable

Is it possible to use viera Panasonic tv as iPad 2 second monitor without using HDMI cable.

Only by using an AppleTV attached to the TV, and using the Airplay mirroring feature. It doesn't extend the iPad, it mirrors it.

My FIOS TV only uses the Coax cable not the HDMI cable

I can only get my STB to use the coax cable to my TV, I want it to use the HDMI cable for a better HD picture, but I do not see a way to get the STB to use the HDMI cable as the primary output. How do I tell my STB to use the HDMI cable instead of the coax? My STB is Model:QIP7100-P2.

Ipod touch connected to tv by av adaptor and hdmi cable will play BT sport sound only. Why no picture?

I have connected my ipod touch to my tv using a digital AV adapter and a HDMI cable to try to watch BT sport on the tv, but I am getting the sound without the picture. Any ideas?

For the 4G and earlier iPods, TV out only works for apps that support TV out. If they do not, then you only get sound.

I have an ipad3. I brought brought a wireless AV Box to view videos on the TV. I have tried this on both hdmi TV an can only get sound no picture. Any help would be appreciated. I am new to iPad so not too tech please.
