How do you get sound from my computer to my tv

I have a HDMI cord connect to my macbook and and connected it to my t but I cant get the sound to transfer to the tv. Does any know how!!! Thanks

The Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody is the only MacBook that carries audio along with the video. Does your model of MacBook use a Mini-DVI or a Mini DisplayPort adapter?
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody use the Mini DisplayPort adapter. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s use the Mini-DVI adapter
If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if yourTV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it'sexpecting audio with the HDMI.
There are these Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters which claim to marry the audio to the video. Here's a MacWorld article on all the ones out there http://www.macworld.com/article/151410/2010/05/minidisplayport_hdmi.html

  • I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though I put in headphones

    I have for a while now had the problem that I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though i plug in the headphones, I have rebooted the computer but still the same problem occurs. So i thought there might be someting wrong in the settings, when i open the soundsettings and plug in my headphones nothing happens, usually I believe there should be a text appearing that says that the sound is now going to headphones, am I right? any how, it still just sends the sound out to the speakers and there is no option to send it else where then "soundflower 2ch and soundflower 16ch".
    I do have an external sound card, for music recording, that goes through USB, and when i plug that in i get the option to send the sound to that device and also to recive sound and i can also choose if i want to sent it to the computer's speakers. So could it be someting wrong with the headphone jack?

    Good day!
    Thank you for writing to the Dell Community Forum.
    Boot into the System Bios and make sure that Onboard Devices- Integrated Audio is On. Then exit the System Bios saving the change. Once back into Windows, open the Device Manager and make sure that ADI1983 HDA appears under Sound devices. Then re-test the rear green audio jack #4 using headphones. Also, reply to this post with the service tag of the system sent via private message so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better.
    Have a great day ahead.

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • I have a 120gb Classic that has no space left on it. i am going to buy a larger gb capacity ipod as soon as i get clearer instruction on how to get the old ipod content to the new ipod. How do you get content from one ipod to the other?

    how do you get content from one ipod to the new one? my content is on an external hard drive not on my pc and i have run out of space on my 120gb classic. can you get old ipod content to new? my itunes has only got short cuts, the real content is on an external drive? can this be done?? please help

    If the content is on an external drive, but your library knows where to find it, then it should all work. Connect your device, make some selections for what to put on it, and sync. If, on the other hand, your current iPod is the only place holding some of your media then see this user tip: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    how do you transfer playlists from on computer to a new one, library has already been transfered

    - Why not just copy the iTunes computer folder to the new computer?
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - You can transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previous discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file from your old computer to the new one and restore from backup, you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and thus loose all app date. The iPod backup file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • TS5459 How do you get vocals from an ext mike/amp to record onto an audio track?

    How do you get vocals (from an ext mike/amp setup to record decently onto an audio track? I had no problems doing this with my 2008 IMAC & Logic Pro  Studio 8, but can't seem to do it with my new IMAC & Logic X. Very frustrating.

        The Korg 1600 doesn't seem to have a USB connection. It does have S/P DIF "IN" & "OUT", (which I have never used) and a SCSI site. With my older system, I had the IMAC 1st jack go directly to the Peavey or sometimes to one of the 8 imputs on the KORG 1600......so whatever I had prepared on LOGIC &/or ITUNES would play out. The 2nd IMAC jack connected to the  MASTER OUT jacks on the back of the KORG 1600. The KORG 1600 acted as an interface. Vocals via microphone, or guitar, or instruments from the Triton Synthesizer went into the 1600 & recorded onto the Logic project  Also on the back of the KORG 1600 was   MONITOR "RT & LT"  output jacks that are connected to my Peavy mixer that in turn plays out through speakers.
        The Logic Preferences/Audio is as follows:        Devices is highlighted
                                                                              Output device: ;Built-in output
                                                                              Input device: Built-in microphone
                                                                              I/O buffer size: 128
       Thank you for trying to help me with this and for your patience. . (I'm good with music & other things, but not with computers.)

  • How do you get sound to work on 1st generation

    please help , how do you get sound on a first generation ipod touch. No sound is coming out ( I tried headphones but still no sound).

    The 1st gen iPod Touch does not have an internal speaker so you will only get sound through earphones.
    You could try another pair of earphones, check the volume settings, restart/reset the iPod, etc.
