Hdmi wire

Hi!
I bought a wire to connect my new Mac Book Pro with my HDMI Tv. This wire is suppose to transmit image and sound, but does not happen with the sound. Am I supossed to to anything?
Please, help,
Thanks!!

Martuqui, Have you checked the settings in your Sound system preferences? And also the settings shown in Audio MIDI Setup? (The latter is in Utilities within your Application folder.) Once when my daughter was directly connecting a TV to her mbpr via an hdmi cable, she had to reduce the output frequency in order for the TV to recognize the audio output. Not sure why, but I think choosing 48KHz worked for her. Another thing to check is your TV settings for the correct sound input.

Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

Hello Everyone,
I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
Can someone out there please help!!!!!
Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
Thanks,

Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

Any Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio for macbook pro mid 2009

connecting MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to Hisense TV with audio?!?!!?
hello everyone.
if anyone is familar with successfully getting the older macbook pros that dont support audio out to stream and preform digital audio on a TV or has any helpful information that will get me familiar with trying to successfully stream audio and visual. and can PLEASE HELP ME in any way to understand what they know and teach me how to solve my problem id really appreciate it.
i want to connect my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) to my Hisense LED LCD TV, ModelNumber:40H3E and getting digital audio sound from my TV as well as video, but have no clue on how or where to even start to successfully pairing the two and getting sound.
I own a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) this MacBook model doesnt support an HDMI port. My MacBooks model has the Mini Displayport which supports video out but does not support audio out. Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?
i have NO expierence with the proccess have NO knowledge about any of this or these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters with audio. i have no idea what kind of adapter and HDMI cord to buy that will give me sound from my tv for my type of macbook. '
im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio. The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable. The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

The Best Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter?

I am looking for recommendations on a good Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter for my Macbook Pro 2011 Sandy Bridge. I have gone through about 4 adapters in the past year due to the adapters become unresponsive after 2 or 3 months. I use my Macbook heavily on external monitors for my work (averaging 7 hours or more a day between various monitors).
I can rule out the HDMI wire itself not being the cause of the problem but the adapters have been a huge miss and drain on cash this year. If anyone who is also a heavy user can point me in the direction of a durable adapter I would be very grateful.

I always recommend monopriice.com for cables and adapters.
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
But all these adapters are in the form of "pigtails" and no matter where you get them the strain relief and the cables can fatigue and break from constant bending or pulling (doesn't help your macbook socket any either).
Maybe you should order a bunch. They are cheaper that way at monoprice.
Another possibility might be you trying a mini displayport to HDMI cable. No adapter.
Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support (10 ft.)
But of course you could get about 6 adapters for the price of that one cable!

Outputting Multichannel sound through HDMI

I've just got one of the new Mac Minis with an HDMI connector that I'd like to connect via a home theatre amp to be able to drive a 7.1 speaker system . I'm using a Onkyo TX-SR576, and the Audio Midi Setup program finds the HDMI device. It has the source listed as TX-SR576, and I can select the format (up to 192 kHz) and up to 8channels of 24 bit.
The problem is that I can't get any sound to go through. The Digital Optical link is working fine, but it's standard stereo.
Has anyone else managed to get 7.1 channel from a Minimac via HDMI? If so, what home theatre amplifiers work? Is there a restriction on which amplifiers can handle the 8 channel audio?

I think my problem is very similar.
I am not getting the option to select multichannel digital audio output for my HDMI connection in "Audio Devices" window of "Audio MIDI Setup."
I'm using the "Apple recommended" Griffin Video Display Converter for HDMI via Mini DIsplayPort with my mid-2010 MBP.
It successfully outputs digital STEREO audio which plays on the speakers of my LG TV (a 42LD520). That's all fine and nice. But, I'm trying to take advantage of the LG TV's digital audio passthrough capability (to pass-through multichannel digital audio) and am having problems.
Here's the setup I CANNOT get to work:
1) Connect my new mid-2010 Macbook Pro to my LG TV (42LD520) via HDMI using the Griffin Video Display Converter.
2) The LG TV (serving as a digital audio passthrough) is connected via TOSLINK optical audio output to my surround receiver (Sony BDV-E570... which, BTW only accepts digital audio input by optical or coax, NO HDMI)
3) The Sony receiver decodes the multichannel digital audio (Dolby Digital, DTS, whatever), and everyone lives happily ever after.
In fact, I've SUCCESSFULLY gotten this exact setup to work with a Roku player: the Roku is connected via HDMI to the TV, and the LG TV outputs (passes-through) the digital audio via optical TOSLINK to my Sony surround system (BDV-E570), which decodes and plays back the multichannel DD/DTS. Yippee. Straightforward. Clean.
But, *DESPITE THE FACT MY LG TV ACCEPTS MULTICHANNEL DIGITAL AUDIO VIA HDMI*, OS X will NOT give me the option of outputting multichannel audio through the Griffin adapter to the TV via HDMI. I cannot select any multichannel output in "Audio Device Setup" for the connected HDMI. Why?
I SUSPECT this is because OS X, after ID'ing the TV through EDID lookup, sees my LG TV as ONLY compatible to accept HDMI audio as 2-channel digital, so it doesn't give the multichannel output option--- (this, of course, totally ignores the purposeful use of the TV's digital audio passthrough).
IF ONLY I could force OS X to override this "unnecessary" restriction and output multichannel audio through the Griffin adapter to the TV via HDMI. If I could, I bet this would all work.
I REFUSE to run 2 wires and run a separate audio output from the MBP with one of those stupid USB+3.5MM TOSLINK adapters. It's dirty and shouldn't be necessary. The HDMI wire carries it all-- that's the point.
So, in short, Is there a way to force OS X to output multichannel digital audio over HDMI?
If so, I think it'd work. Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the opportunity to try to help you resolve your Premiere Elements issue. But first we must establish that you are using Premiere Elements 12. The reason for asking for that confirmation targets the "PE12 CC" that you indicate as your program. There is no Premiere Elements 12 CC" The CC designation, as far as I have ever seen, goes to the Creative Suite products.
Assuming you are using Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer....
1. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? Have you updated to 12.1 via the program's Help Menu/Update? Also, check under Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to verify that you have QuickTime presets.
Let me cut to what I believe the problem to be...I am guessing that you have music files with iTunes origin. Whatever the case
a. Open iTune and go to the Edit Menu/Preferences/General and click on the Import Settings tab there.
b. In the Import Settings dialog that appears, next to "Import Using" set for WAV Encoder. OK out of there.
c. Import your file into iTunes, using File Menu/Add File to Library.
d. In iTune Music, right click the imported file and select "Create WAV Version".
e. Copy the .wav version produced and then paste it to the desktop computer.
f. From the desktop computer, import this .wav file into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace, using Add Media/Files and Folders.
Please let us know the outcome. If this an iTunes music issue, please be advised that this situation happens in Premiere Elements (any version). If I have not targeted your question, please supply more details.
Thanks.

Detect HDMI or VGA connection

Dear forum members,
Out of some reasons, I want that one of my LabVIEW programs runs only if the laptop is connected to my audio and video system via HDMI. The program shall give a warning or similar if the laptop is connected to the audio and video system via VGA.
So, is there any way how I can detect if the laptop is connected via HDMI or VGA?
I would be happy about some feedback!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
The idea is great. Unfortunately, I have different laptops which behave differently.
One changes the display size the other not id I connect them to the HDMI wire.
So, I cannot really use the All Monitors Application for detecting if there is a HDMI or VGA connection.
Meanwhile, I also think that I will build in my program some dialog in - this is easy and will work for sure.
Anyway, Thanks a lot - I learned something ;-)

B590 and HDMI-CEC question

HI.
I want to try to connect my Lenovo B590 to LG TV by HDMI wire and use the TV remote to controll XBMC mediaplayer.
Does this notebook supports HDMI-CEC?

If the TV doesn't have a "reset to factory settings" option in the settings somewhere, you can reset it by turning it off and unplugging it from power for a few minutes. However, I don't see that model listed in my database. Is it from the US? This is the site for Toshiba USA, so if it's from another region, you should check with Toshiba in your region.

HP Pavilion dv5t-1000 HDMI TV display error.

My laptop HP Pavillion dv5t-1000 with Windows vista 64 bit will not display from laptop to TV with HDMI wire anymore. It makes a clicking noise (error noise) when I attempt to connect it to TV with HDMI wire. I was watching a football game on the computer and connected it to the TV with HDMI wire and it was working well. I left for a while and came back and battery was dead on laptop so display stopped. I plugged in computer and now can not get computer to display back on TV again. I downloaded driver
NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS/9600M GT Video/Graphics Driver
2008-11-14 , Version:7.15.11.7904 D, 160.11M
and it still does not work. Please help me solve this issue.
Thank You

Install this driver direct from NVIDIA.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-258.96-whql-driver.html
Save it to the desk top and install it from there, do not install it from a temporary folder.
Install it over top of your present one, if it does not install there is a procedure to uninstall the old one first.
The other thing to do is to choose a Windows restore point when the HDMI connection was working.

No audio option for HDMI on pavilion 2210sa

Hi,
I recently got a Hp Pavilion 2210sa with windows 8, when plugging it into the tv using a HDMI wire, I don't get the option to play sound through the TV.
-things i've tried...
-showing disabled and disconnected devices.
-downloading the new driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-112411-1&cc=uk&dlc=en&lc=en... from the HP support and drivers page.
any help would be appreciated

Hello tissai. I understand you're having some issues with your sound over HDMI.
You should make sure that the HDMI is set to be the audio device. Try the following.
Pause any audio/video you currently have playing. Connect the HDMI.
Press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the "Context Menu."
Select Control Panel.
Select Sound from the Control Panel.
Here will be a list of all of your audio devices. Click on HDMI and then click "set as default" at the bottom.
Save your changes and exit the window.
Verify whether or not you have audio over HDMI.
I will await the result of this. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

Qosmio X500: black screen on TV using HDMI

Hello,
I have a X500 and want to use Hdmi as output, to view movies on my Tv ( Samsung LCD ).
When i plug my hdmi wire, my screen turns black, and on my tv: no signal or mode unsupported.
I updated my drivers ( graphic card / sound / Hdmi ) and updated my bios.
Windows 7 x64.
Any idea ?

Hi buddy,
Have you tried to switch between the displays using FN+F5 key combination? So you can change between internal, external and both display.
Furthermore you should connect the HDMI cable before you start the devices. Switch on your TV firstly and select the correct HDMI input channel. Then switch on your notebook and test it again.

I have Macbook pro A1286 and was wondering how to connect it to the tv and have audio?

Like the title says, I have a 15 inch macbook pro A1286 (from mid 2009) and want to hook it up to a tv. I also know that my particular model of macbook pro doesn't support audio from the mini display. I know that I will need a mini display to hdmi cable or converter and a hdmi cable if I decide to go for the converter for the video. I've seen both the cord (1 side is hdmi and the other is mini display just to clarify if I'm not using the right terminology) and converter online and any comments on which is better/preferred would be helpful. What kind of cable do I need to get sound to play through the tv? If you could suggest brands (unless all of them are about the same), I would be very grateful. It would be nice to know if the cords have to be specifically from apple just so I don't buy the wrong thing. If there's an easier way (less cords) to do this than hdmi feel free to say something Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it and am eternally grateful.

Mac Mini Connected to TV Causes Blank Pauses every ten minutes

I hope someone can help with a small but frustrating issue I'm having.
I have a Mac Mini (2011) hooked up to a new 1080p television. The mini goes via HDMI straight to the TV, no adapters. The mini is also connected to a regular computer monitor simultaneously, set to mirror.
Until this week, I had an identical setup with an older, smaller hd television, where the mini was connected to the TV with an HDMI -> DVI adapter and also to the same second monitor. The TV was off most of the time, I only turned it on to watch a movie off my hard drive or whatever.
Here's the problem: When the new TV is OFF, every ten minutes or so with the monitor goes blank and resets, as if someone unplugged the HDMI connection and then plugged it back in the quickly. While this happens the Mac is frozen for about 5 seconds. I can reproduce the same effect by actually unplugging the HDMI wire. It is also the same pause that happens when I change the monitor and TV displays from mirroring to non-mirroring (side-by-side).
This only happens when the TV is off. If the TV is on, there is no issue.
I'd like to be able to sit at my desk using the monitor without the TV screen on, as I was able to do with my older television. I never had this problem with that TV over many months.
Is there any kind of setting change that might help?
I'm guessing the TV being off causes the HDMI connection to be occasionally lost and then the MAC resumes/redetects the TV, triggering the display to reset, but I think it is odd that this only happens after the thing has been off for ten minutes (and then repeats regularly). I've fiddled with the power options and energy saving settings on the TV, none of them seem to have any effect. Is there anything I can do on the Mac side? The only other option I can think of is to actually unplug the TV when I'm not using it, but that would get old fast.
Any advice would be appreciated. I've tried turning off mirroring, turning the TV off while not having the HDMI input active at that moment, and turning off all power saving options on the TV. I expect this is more a "tv problem" than a Mac problem, but it can't hurt to ask.

I couldnt get it to work even though I tried disconnecting an connecting the modules again. When I replaced the 4gb modules with the ones that came with the computer it started working perfectly.
Does this mean that one of the modules might be damaged? I am going to try connecting one of the factory ram and one of the ones I bought to see which is the one that doesn't work and see if I can replace it.
Thank you so much
