How do I get audio input to my TV when using a HDMI adaptor/converter?

I bought a Belkin HDMI converter for my mid-2010 Macbook Pro so that I can watch internet movies on my television. When I plugged the HDMI into the adaptor I am able to see the video play on my television however the sound is still coming through my computer instead of my televsion. How do I get audio input from my computer onto my TV?

You need to set the output in System Preferences > Sound > Output to HDMI.

  • My files, photos, email files, software programs, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt. Lion).  How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?

    My email did transfer over.
    Thank you.

    First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it.  If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade?  Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

  • HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

  • How do I get CS6 to not distort color when using Lion and printing from Epson R2880?

    Ever since I up-graded to CS5 , the color has been distorted.  It is not an Epson Lion problem because printing from preview or iPhoto the color is perfect.
    Adobe has known about this problem since January 23, 2012.  Their help people have taken over my computer for hours at a time and not been able to discover the source of the problem
    I thought they might have fixed it with CS6 but no luck  I chose use CS4 settings because CS4 had worked.
    I printed using Printer Manages Color and color matching, epson color.  I selected the correct media.  The prints came out dark.  The yellows turned green and the greens turned blue/green, reds became dull and blues a bit dark.
    This is most upsetting because I cannot afford to buy a new printer and ink.  Also I should not have to buy new equipment because Adobe cannot make their product work correctly.

    Uh...ok...then the REST of the FREE world is going down the tubes because obviously, Adobe has screwed up?
    Some of us are using LR4 and CS6 to print and getting accurate and excellent results with Lion (10.7.3) so the question begging for an answer is why can't you?
    Read very carefully what Chris wrote...the odds are REAL GOOD you are NOT using the correct settings...but since you don't bother to show or explain the EXACT settings you are using when printing, we'll never know. Will we?
    If the vast magority of the user base is NOT having an issue, to what do you attribute the disconnect? User Error is the single most likely result...
    You want help? Or do you want to argue?
    I know a little bit about printing and I seem to be able to print with zero issues on a wide variety of Epson printers...you wanna place blame or do you wanna learn how to fix the problem? (clue, the odds are it isn't Adobe nor Epson leading to the problems, it's you bud).

  • In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

    Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
    The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

    Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4

  • How do I get drop shadows to work correctly when using HTML5 to publish?

    When publishing this course in HTML 5, drop shadows applied to smart shapes go a little haywire. What settings can I update on these objects to make them appear correctly?  Thanks for your help!
    Object settings:
    White solid fill, opactiy 100%
    1pt stroke
    Standard publish to web broswer:
    Publishing in HTML5:

    Looks like the shadow is being applied to the outline. Smart shapes are drawn with canvas in HTML5 so you'd need to hackinto the code to try and fix it. You could try an outline with no fill on top of the shape with the text, white background, no outline and apply the shadow to that smart shape. Group the objects for convenience.

  • Get rid of the initial asterisk when using PasswordField masking in console

    Hi!
    How can I get rid of the initial astrerisk when using the PasswordField script from Sun?
    I've tried to check whether the BufferedReader is empty or not, but with no succes.
    Here comes the code:
    PasswordField.java
    import java.io.*;
    public class PasswordField {
        *@param prompt The prompt to display to the user
        *@return The password as entered by the user
       public static String readPassword (String prompt) {
          EraserThread et = new EraserThread(prompt);
          Thread mask = new Thread(et);
          mask.start();
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
          String password = "";
          try {
             password = in.readLine();
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
          // stop masking
          et.stopMasking();
          // return the password entered by the user
          return password;
    }EraserThread
    import java.io.*;
    class EraserThread implements Runnable {

          stop = true;
          while (stop) {
             System.out.print("\010*");
          try {
             Thread.currentThread().sleep(1);

    Hello Yajai,
    The example program will use the default value for timeout, 10 seconds. To change this, you will have to set the Stream.Timeout value. I inserted this function into the example and set it equal to -1, and the program will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal without timing out. Please see the attached image to how this was implemented.
    I hope this help. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

  • How can you get audio for  books on the kindle

    how can you get audio for  books on the kindle

    The audio inputs on Macs are line level inputs and not mic inputs.  You need a mic with a built in preamp (battery powered) or more conveniently a USB mic or bluetooth headset.

  • 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.

  • HT3131 how do i get audio from my HDTV when using a hdmi cable and mini displayport??

    How do I get audio to display from my HDTV when I'm using a hmdi cable and a mini-displayport adapter on a macbook late 2008??

    The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
    With the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

  • How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

    MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

    I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

  • How to get form input in the same portlet using pageflow

    Hi this is premkumar
    i created 2 portlet in a portal how to get form input in the sampe portlet using
    pageflow
    help as early as possible

    Do to the complexity of the program we need to run it with sequences.  This is because we need to aquire data with DAQ until it reaches a certain point and then stop collecting so that it can do its process (only once for all times criteria is met), and then loop around till again collecting after DAQ drops back below certain point looking to once again reach that point.  Another flat sequence is going outside of this where I want to put the prompt and have a user input to affect how many times that that the inner loop is run (No a For Loop instead of the while loop will not work either for other reasons). 
    I just want to know if after the program starts you can have a user input that will change the effect of the rest of the programs action based on the number inputed.

  • How do I get audio for my apps without headphones?

    How do I get audio for my apps without headphones?  For some reason I can only hear the audio for many of my apps through my headphones. I've got the latest version of the OS so I'm not sure what else to do.  Volume works fine for all apps that use video like Netflix and YouTube. Help!

    Instead of turning it off, try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the reset is not enough to knock a little sense into it, make sure that everything is backed up and restore the iPad to the factory settings.
