HDMI --- DVI lacks ability to use audio

I bought an adapter cable that has HDMI on one end and DVI on the other. I got it in place and then realized that audio does not get carried through this cable. So do they make a cable that has HDMI on one end with DVI AND RCA audio cables on the other end? Otherwise, I have no idea how I'm going to get my new apple TV to work.
Please help.

Do you think this device would do the trick?

    To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
    Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
    In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.

  • My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

    my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio  any suggestions?

    Jeffrey-
    If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input?  I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried.  I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

  • Do Mac Pro 2013 support six TV using HDMI/DVI?

    Hi everyone,
    I found in Mac Pro support six displays using thunderbolt, but can I using HDMI or DVI?
    I have six TVs, all of them have hdmi,dvi, and vga ports, I want to using one Mac Pro (2013) to display my screen in six TV as one screen, such as this:
    www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmlsePKH6AY
    Because Mac Pro using AMD display card, can I using  Eyefinity technology?
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes. However, only two adopters can be passive. The rest have to be active.
    All mini displayport to VGA adapters are active.
    Mini displayport to DVI adopter can either be active or passive. The active ones say actie and cost more than passive ones.
    If the display is greater than 1080X1200 you need dual-link mini displayport to DVI adapter. All the dual-link adopters are active and require USB connection for power.
    I have no idea what " Eyefinity technology?" is

  • HDMI to DVI - will it provide the audio?

    I have a TV with the DVI input, so I ordered the HDMI to DVI cable. Will the audio play thru the TV?

    DVI doesn't carry audio, a DVI and digital audio converter may do the trick if your tv has a suitable audio input which will allow playback at the same time as DVI, which I doubt and even then you likely would run into problems with protected content.

  • Hi apple tv if I use my TV's DVI, but I use an HDMI-DVI converter

    hi apple tv if I use my TV's DVI, but I use an HDMI-DVI converter

    The TV you are using only has DVI, correct? Only HDMI is supported, there is no guarantee a converter will work and you will not be able to view iTunes, Netflix (or similar) content if your TV is not HDCP compliant.
    The optical cable is for the sound (and if your receiver doesn't accept optical you would need a DAC) but is a non-issue if your TV can't accept the video.

  • My TV has a combined HDMI/DVI slot, and says I can't connect my TV and Mac. Is there anything I can buy to fix this?

    I have been looking all over the net to see if there was something that I could buy to troubleshoot this problem, and I've had no luck with this. I'm running OSX on my 2007 iMac, and know what I would need to get to connect my computer to my TV. The only thing is, the TV has a combined HDMI/DVI. I looked on Samsungs website, and it said that because of this, I can't connect the 2. "
    Many of Samsung's 2005 and 2006 model TVs have a combined HDMI/DVI input jack. You cannot use the combined HDMI/DVI jack to connect your 2005 or 2006 model Samsung TV to your computer's DVI video output jack. If your Samsung TV has an HDMI only jack, you cannot use the HDMI jack to connect your Samsung TV to your computer's DVI video output jack. Samsung's 2005 and 2006 TVs do not support DVI to HDMI computer video connections."
    I am at a complete loss right now and have a feeling that there is nothing I can do about it. I do have the Roku connected to my TV, and bc I don't have the HDMI spot, we have to use the RGB slots to connect it. The Roku does have a HDMI slot to connect it to a TV with one, and even thought that maybe I could connect something to that to connect my computer to my TV. I've pretty much decided that if I can't get an answer in the Mac community, then there isn't going to be a way for me to connect the two. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!  - Patrick

    You tv probably has 2 seperate inputs, DVI and HDMI. You will need one these adapters if you want to connect via HDMI however on a machine as old as yours neither the  HDMI or DVI will only output video, not audio.

  • HDMI/DVI adapter problem?

    I've had the 1st gen Apple TV since it came out and have loved it. It has worked fine on my 5 year old Sony HDTV. Since this tv does not have HDMI inputs (has an DVI input), i used an HDMI/DVI adapter and this worked fine up till now.
    Yesterday i got the new apple TV and tried hooking it up to my tv. But the picture was displayed in 4:3, low resolution (looked to be 480i), and was a little "wavy".
    Is the problem that my TV is not compatible with the new apple TV?
    Or i was thinking that maybe i need to get a new HDMI/DVI adapter. the one i have is a few years old. are the newer adapters on the market have new/better technology?
    thanks for anyones help. i really don't want to have to replace my tv or return my new apple tv

    I've been pulling my hair out on this. I have a Sony KV-34XBR800 with a DVI port that supports HDCP. According to the manual the HD suport is 1080i and 720p ..... perhaps also 480p and 480i, but i'm not sure if the latter two are supported on the DVI port. I've tried two types of cables/adapters with the ATV2 and just get a black blank screen. No picture, no apple logo ... nothing.
    The audio and Airplay work great using the optical connector. And when I connect the ATV2 to my daughters newer Bravia the video works great. But on the older Sony .... nothing.
    I can't believe that this is a cable problem, but since that's the only component that I have the power to change out ... that's what i've been doing.
    Any other suggestions? I'd prefer to not go out and have to buy a new TV or tuner to get a $99 box working !!!!

  • Question # 3 about the HDMI-DVI cable

    OK...My older DVD player is working just fine with the component video cable.
    Now let's suppose that DVD player eventually stops working and I replace it with a new one.
    On the newer DVD players, does the HDMI-DVI cable take the place of the component video cable or do both cables need to be used?  Can the newer DVD players function with just the HDMI-DVI cable alone?

    I actually just answered my own question right before I saw your reply.  But thank you for confirming what I thought.  That makes a lot of sense.  I already have my existing DVD player set up with the component video cable and you are correct about needing an audio cable.  I learned that through a process of elimination when I was setting that up and I have plenty of extra audio cables in my closet, so we're definitely on the same wavelength.  My existing DVD player doesn't have the HDMI capability but the component video cable is fine.  Now I just have a better understanding of how this works.   I believe that my existing DVD player is analog but it's very good and I will glady keep it until it goes.
    I was also just fooling with my TV settings.  On my "source" list, I had had TV selected as source but I switched it to HDMI, which is what I already connected to my HDTV --- what a difference in sound and picture quality.

  • HDMI/DVI video noise when running with 9400M

    I have a late 2008 MBP. I connect it to my Sony 52W3000 using Apple's mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor and a DVI to HDMI cable. When I use the Nvidia 9400M (Better Battery Life in Energy Saver system preference) I get lots of video noise in the form of little red pixels. When I switch to the 9600M (Higher Performance in Energy Saver) the image is beautiful and without noise.
    Is this problem inherent with the 9400M? Is it Apple's DisplayPort -> DVI dongle? I would rather conserve battery AND have a decent video image. I'd also like to get a Mac Mini to as an HTPC but don't want the terrible noise I get from the MBP when using the 9400M. I somehow doubt it's an Nvidia problem.

    I have a UniBody MacBook (before they were re-branded as PRO), with a GeForce 9400M. I get nasty white noise when using the Mini-DisplayPort to DVI cable, connecting to a Samsung 2333HD monitor via DVI (no HDMI involved here). I put a video on YouTube to document the issue. Quality is not great, but you can clearly see the white pixel noise on a black background. Looks like the sky at night. I'm wondering if this is a case for my AppleCare Protection...

  • Mini HDMI-DVI disconnects when vga thunderbolt adapter is removed

    What I have found is that if the vga and HDMI adapters are connected to a monitor, I can get a signal from the HDMI-DVI adapter.  But when I disconnect the vga adapter, the HDMI-DVI signal goes away too.  Anybody know what's going on here?

    As other threads on this have pointed to, Monoprice sells HDMI/mini-displayport to VGA cables.

    Given the minor price variations, why not get a 10'?
    It's very annoying that Apple's included adapters are DVI-D not -I, otherwise I could use those DVI-I to VGA adapters that seem to litter my clients spaces....

  • Thunderbolt - HDMI - DVI?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and got an HDMI adapter for the DisplayPort. (My Monitor is DVI-D and my TV only has HDMI so I wanted something that would work for both.)
    When I plug the MBP into the TV via HDMI it works fine, but when I try to plug it into the monitor, the MBP recognizes a display but nothing shows on it. (In the Displays prefpane it lets me re-arrange them and stuff.)
    Using an HDMI to DVI cable from my old Toshiba laptop's HDMI port worked fine.
    Using System Profiler, the monitor shows up as well..

    Thank you Malcolm.
    As you state, they use the same signals. I bought a Display port adaptor to DVi and it is the same. I shall have the unit checked out.

  • Just to share experience: HDMI - DVI cable

    I got my DVD and XBOX occupying the only two component slots of my plasma TV already. There is a DVI slot (but no HDMI) so I thought I would try the HDMI -> DVI cable from ExtremeMac Apple has in its store. Turns out the screen quality is visibly much worse than output from component.
    Just thought I would share my experience if you are considering this cable.

    I've had better experience with this cable......
    I used the same cable to connect a MBP to a Panasonic plasma when I went to the store to demo the HTDV set (I had to upgrade as I'd mistaken my CRT's composite connection for component Doh!). I was very impressed with the output and could hardly tell any difference between what I saw in the store and what I now see on the very same set (TH-42PX70) via HDMI. I can't tell the difference between HDMI and Composite going to the set from ATV either. I've not had an opportunity to test the same cable in revers going HDMI to DVI (I used it going DVI to HDMI) with an ACD (TV has no DVI port).
    So in my experience the cable is good, as are both the HDMI and component ports on the ATV.
    Do you have anything else which uses HDMI that you could test the cable with, or test it with a ACD? It sounds to me like an issue with the DVI port on your TV set maybe. I suppose you could have a defective cable, out I've found it to be a good 'un.
    PS you should have seen the faces of other people in the store seeing the MBP and Front Row hooked up to the Plasma. I heard a few mutters, "why can't my laptop do that".... If only they knew
