Help with sound to LCD TV when using HDMI

I would love any assistance with a problem I am having. I have a new mac mini with a 40" Proscan LCD. I am using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and am getting great video - 1080. My issue is that via Keynote I need to get sound to the LCD TV. It is coming through the mini speaker - what do I need to do to get the sound over to the TV? Any assistance would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The user guide which came with your TV should cover the issue in the different connections available for your unit.
DVI is video only. HDMI is audio and video. If you are using an adapter to connect DVI to HDMI there is no audio because of this. So to connect a Mac mini with a DVI to HDMI adapter you will also need an audio cable to run the audio from the mini's audio outport to an audio inport on the TV. This is why I refer you to the user guide for your unit, because it should point out the correct port to use on the TV, as well as point out if you have options for using analog or digital audio. The mini's audio ports can do both.

Need help with internal HD memory problems when using Premiere Pro?

When using PP I keep loosing memory on my HD.
Now this seems strange to me since I have every thing, all my video and audio files on external HDs.
Each time I time I make a new project I end up with less space on my internal HD.
Information related to these projects is somehow remaining on my internal HD.
Anyone got any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
Dimitrije

Premiere will slowly compile various files to help the project along, and the default place is usually your internal hard drive. Make sure your scratch disks are pointed to an external hard drive if that is what you want, also, make sure the Media Cache Files are being created on your external as well (and not the default location which is on your local drive).
Premiere Preferences > Media
Media Cache Files & Media Cache Database should be changed to an external disk if you don't want them created on your local disk. There are many tutorials and explanations about all of these aspects of Premiere on these forums and from other sources. Hope that helps!

Help with setting an IF value when using a Pop-up Value

Hello,
I'm hopeful that someone out there has enough understanding with numbers to help me figure out how to program this function.
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will allow me to track payments that have been reimbursed for a given service provided in a medical clinic. As the payout from the insurance companies is not only variable with time before reimbursement, but also with the actual amount that the each reimburses for a given procedure - I'm trying to create a system to track this all.
So, here's what I've got so far:
On one sheet, I've created a one column - in which I've created a pop-up menu selection using three of the insurance companies that we bill out to regularly (let's call it Column I - cell I2). On "another" sheet, I've created a list of values comprised of what the actual reimbursement from each of the three companies is for the particular service provided, in dollar amounts.
What I'm trying to do, is set it up so that when I select say "First Choice" from the pop-up menu (cell "I2), the dollar value from the "other" sheet appears in the column following that of the pop-up menu column (column I), with this new value now in (Column J) - cell J2. I had then planned on being able to create a row at the bottom of the entire sheet that could then "SUM" the values represented by the newly created J2 cell.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello
I guess that the contents of the table "rates" is clear.
In table "Main", standard cells of column E contain a popup menu with four items :
"company 1"
"company 2"
"company 3"
In standard cells of column I, the formula is :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E,rates :: $A:$B,2,0),"")

HELP! Lightroom Crashes Only with Adjustment Brush and only when using HDMI output!

This is very frustrating. I use my Acer N56V laptop to teach Lightroom workshops. I use a 32 inch television as a display. When I have my laptop attached with an HDMI cable and try to use Lightroom's adjustment brush, it crashes. Either the screen and computer just shuts down or I get the Blue Screen of Death. I can do anything else! I can edit in Photoshop, do anything else in Lightroom or even Silver EFX Pro. I can even click on the adjustment brush. But the minute the brush hits the photo (and not before), the computer crashes. If I don't have it attached to the HDMI or if I use a Serial cable, no issues. It's only the adjustment brush and only the HDMI output.
I called Adobe and they said it was because my onboard video card was primary and not the Nvidia. I called Acer and they said it's auto detect. I also tried making the Nvidia card primary and it still happened. Any ideas???

You have switched the overlay mask to always show. Fortunately, it's easy fixed i.e. tap the O key. Shift+O will cycle the overlay through various colours
Other Adjustment Brush and Graduate Filter shortcuts and modifiers are listed them below:
Open Adjustment Brush - K
Open Gradient Tool - M
Show/hide Pin - H
Always Show - Shift + Cmd/Ctrl+H
Show Selected/Never Show - Shift+H
To increase Amount - Right Arrow
To decrease Amount - Left Arrow
To increase/decrease brush size - ] / [
To increase/decrease feather - Shift+] / Shift+[
Set Flow Amount - Number Keys
To commit and/or start new a brush stroke or gradient - Enter / Return
To delete the selected pin - Delete
Holding down - Alt/Option key activates erase mode
Toggle Auto Mask On/Off - A
Pressing O toggles on/off the overlay
Shift+O cylces through alternative colours for overlay
To constrain gradient to vertical/horizontal - hold down Shift plus drag
To invert the gradient - '
To scale from center - Alt/Option plus drag

Dual LCD (TV's) with sound on both screens. (not using HDMI splitter)

Just bought a new mini (late 2012 model)
Is that possible? One TV via HDMI and the other through thunderbolt (mini display port to HDMI). I have the mini as the main media player. One TV is located in the living room and the other in the basement. I run a long usb extender with a repeater for an extra keyboard and mouse for the basement TV.
I know I can get an HDMI splitter (sound would work this way) but just wondering if any knows if you can output sound via the HDMI and mini-displayport at the same time.

I have not had any issue with any brand TV yet
I dont remember if I tried a sharp on not. I do know that teh several Samasung ones worked fine.

No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable, No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable

I recently purchased HDMI cable and adaptor, so that I can play downloads from my Macbook Air on my TV. There is only sound from the Macbook, not the TV - Do I need as separate cable for sound?

I've got the same issue: when I connect my Macbook Air (2011) to TV via HDMI cable there's no sound through the TV system, only from the Macbook Air. I used to use my older Macbook Pro with the same HDMI adapter and it worked just fine, but not with the Macbook Air it doesn't.
My software is up to date. I tried to select the TV as an output option in sound preferences, but it doesn't yield any results.
Rebooding multiple times doesn't help either.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thanks in advance.

No sound from Vision box when using HDMI

I have my Vision box coupled to my Yamaha AV amp by HDMI cable. When switching the Yamaha inputs to the Vision box I get no sound . If I switch the box off and back on again then all is OK.
Does anyone have any ideas. I have a Humax freesat bos also connected that way but that works OK as above when switched to it

I have a similar problem, but not with my Vision box.
I have four HDMI inputs going into my AV receiver: Vision; DVD; Apple TV and; Freesat HD. I can switch between them all quite happily with the exception of the Freesat. If I switch to Freesat then I will always get a blue screen until I turn the Freesat off and on.
It's a little annoying but you learn to live with it.

No sound from optical output when using hdmi/dvi cable

I am trying to connect my apple tv2 to my B&O Beovision 7. I have used an HDMI to DVI cable which is working fine for the picture; but obviously DVI does not carry sound. I have therefore connected an optical cable to the digital optical output on the apple TV and put this through a converter to digital coax, which then goes in to the TV. I know the optical cable / converter set up works fine as I have tested it on my sky box and it works fine. But I get no sound from the apple TV - any ideas?

I hav exactly the same problem... Did you resolve this??

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.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

Turn off LCD display when using second monitor WITHOUT closing lid

I am wondering if there is a way to turn off my macbook's LCD monitor when using a secondary display without closing the lid. I end up having to close the lid, wait for it to sleep, moving moues, and then reopening the lid so it doesnt overheat, and that's alot of work when most windows machines just offer a display setting to accomplish the same thing.
Does anyone know of a terminal command that would disable the primary monitor?

It is designed to work with the lid closed and it will not overheat. I do it all the time and have not noticed a rise in temperature because the lid is closed.

No sound from TV when using HDMI from HP Envy Ultrabook4 despite downloading drivers

Problem: When using an HDMI cord from my HP Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 (4-1105dx)to connect to my TV to view movies, the video appears on my TV screen, but there is NO sound from the TV. Instead the sound comes from my lap top.
Troubleshooting: I have looked under Sounds in the Control Panel, but the only choice listed is Speakers & Headphones IDT High Definition (which is the default) and does not allow sound from the TV when using the HDMI. I have also tried to download Driver and Audio Graphics, but wasn't sure which one & the ones which were downloaded have not solved the problem.
Can you assist me? Which is the correct Audio/Graphic Driver to download? Or is there another possible reason why I cannot hear sound from my TV when using the HDMI to connect to my lap top?

Hi,
Please try this first to enable Speakers in Playback devices as follows:
1. Right click speaker icon (bottom right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click HDMI sound
4. Enable it
5. Click Apply/Ok
Regards.
