How do I connect a MBP 5.4 to my TV via HDMI WITH Audio

I got 4 different cables/connectors:
Mini display port to HDMI Adaptor
HDMI cable
3.5 mm audio cable
3.5 mm to RCA Audio adaptor
as recommended in this link http://www.macbook2tv.com/
but still get no sound on my TV. Yes, I tryed to change the sound settings but it doesn't show me any other choices than the built-in or headphone?
How do I get the sound to my TV??? Please help!!! THANKS

I make no excuse for the salespeople at the Apple Store (and I don't work for Apple, so my excuses would be lame anyways). However, you cannot expect them to know everything about everything on the Mac. It's an obscure point, and if they were hired during the past year, the MDP to HDMI adapter works perfectly. Think about this: I use my Mac nearly 24/7, use several programs nearly 24/7, and I barely scratch the surface of this device. I use an iPhone 24/7, and I hardly ever drop over there, because there's just too many questions about too many obscure issues.
Again, I'm not sure why you're giving up? This is fixable, it's probably NOT an issue with your Mac or your cables. It's probably an issues with either 1) input setup of your TV, or 2) older TV with an incompatible HDMI firmware (1.1 say). You have everything to make this work, so why are you upset with the Apple folks? You got everything right except the TV setup.

How do I connect my apple tv to my tv when the HDMI is being used for the freeview box?

I have an apple tv that I want to set up to my tv. Currently the HDMI on my tv is connected to the HDMI on the freeview box we have. How do I connect all three?

You can buy an HDMI splitter or switcher to take two (or more) inputs into one port. Just put a search into your search engine and they will come up or visit your local electronic shop.

You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.

No sound connecting Qosmio G30 via HDMI to audio/video receiver

When I connect my Qosmio G30-177 via HDMI cable to my audio/video receiver using Windows Vista Ultimate I get no sound but excellent video.
When I connect the DVD recorder to the receiver (also via HDMI-cable) the sound is o.k.
Do I have to use the s/pdif interface instead of HDMI to transmit the sound to the receiver or is it also possible via HDMI?

Hi
Im not a audio expert but in my knowledge the HDMI transmit the audio and video signals.
The HDMI 1.0 and 1.1 support Dolby DigitalDTS audio format
The HDMI 1.2 supports Dolby DigitalDTS and DVD-Audio format
The HDMI 1.3 supports Dolby DigitalDTS, DVD-Audio and SACD audio formats.
All HDMI standards support a Typ A (19pol) jacks

How do I connect the Apple TV to the home theater if the optical audio port is in use

I had an airport express connected from the home theater system to the speaker out port on the express through which air play worked just fine. Then the express wouldn't work with my new router so I looked for something to replace it. The new Airport Express was the same price as the Apple TV and so I went with it for the added HDMI from NetFlix benefits. Now I find that the cables I used on the express won't work on the Apple TV. It wants an optical cable but there is only one port on the speakers and it is needed to get the sound from the TV to the speakers. So, is here a work around? An adapter or something? What I really wanted it for more than anything else was to use air play to get my music from the computer to the theater speakers.

I have a further question about this. It turns out I do have 2 optical audio ports but I was told I wouldn't need it if it was connected via hdmi. I have 4 ports and they are all in use so the question is whether the best solution is to just get an optical audio cable and connect it directly or get an hdmi splitter so I can add in the Apple TV?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDMI so I could watch videos from my computer on my TV. My TV then shows my basic computer background but the videos won't play. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an HDTV cable to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony TV via HDML. The TV recognizes my computer; I see my basic computer screen on the TV. I tried to watch videos on my TV but got nothing. (tried via my facebook vidoes and Youtube. What am I doing wrong?

I've got a similar (but different!) problem: I have a MacBookPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I want to connect to my HD TV using a HDMI to DVI cable but the MBP cannot detect the TV display. What's the solution? Is this a bug in Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? Any ideas what I can do to make things work with the HDMI to DVI cable. (N.B.: I have separate audio cable running from the MBP to amplified speakers for the sound side of things. It’s the video that’s the problem!)

How do I connect the MBP?

Hey guys,
I'm new to this so bear with me. I wanna connect my MacBook Pro to a Bose system through the optical digital audio on the MBP. How would i go about doing this? Do I need extra cables? If so, which ones?
this is the Bose system I have at home

lol....is it even possible to hook up the MBP to this? :confused:
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

From the technical specs it looks like you should be able to use the optical inputs. You need to buy an optical input cable. You can buy an one from Apple here: Belkin PureAV Digital Optical Audio Cable with Mini-Toslink Adapter
After that, you just plug it in and make sure that the Sound panel on System Preferences is set to Line Out. It will say Internal Speakers unless you have a cable plugged into the audio out line.

How can I connect my MBP to other devices?

Hello,
I have a Yamaha DVD Receiver ("Natural Sound", RDX-E700) and would like to connect it to my MBP so I can hear the my music from iTunes through the loudspeakers connected to the DVD Receiver. Every time I try it doesn't work, even if I switch to AUX mode or whatever... I have a cable which allows me to do so on the big TV and DVD player (also Yamaha), but not on my little Yamaha.
Can you help me?
Thanks

How do I connect MacBook Pro without mini-display port to my HDMI TV?

I have a MacBook Pro computer purchased around 2008. I want to connect it to my Panasonic HDMI TV; however, this MacBook Pro doesn't have a mini-display port. Is there a work around? I would like audio & video.
Thanks so much in advance for any help.

You will need a [DVI-to-HDMI adapter|http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10419&cs_id=1041902&pid=2029&seq=1&format=2], a standard HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV set, and an audio cable with a headphone plug on one end to connect to your MBP's headphone port and two RCA plugs on the other to connect your your TV's audio inputs. I know of no way you can get audio into the HDMI cable.
