How to get sound from T500 to HDTV?

Hi Guys,
I have a 2 year old T500 which has a displayport. I know I will be able to get the picture to my tv by using a DP-HDMI adapter and the DP port on T500 don't carry sound.
But does anyone know how I would get the sound on the TV too?
Thanks,

How about getting an extra long headphone cable and connect your laptop's headphone jack to the amplifier.
Otherwise you need get a few more parts like dvi+spdif to hdmi converter box and an advanced mini dock.

  • Simultaneous sound: how to get sound from internal speakers and usb audio adapter

    I have an iMac in my living room. It is hardwired to my home theater system in my family room. Currently, I can listen to audio in one location or the other... but not both. I bought a StarTech.com ICUSB Audio Adapter hoping that it would be a fix... not so much. Downloaded SoundSource... not so much
    How can I get audio to play via my internal speakers and through my home theater system? Hosting a party this Saturday and would like multiple rooms filled with sound.

    First pluging is headphones and then unplugging it. If yu can't get it fully inseted tham may indicate that end of a plug is broken off inside the jack.
    Then if not above problem, try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to get sound from MBP to TV through thunderbolt to HDMI cable?

    I have a Mid 2009 MBP and have been running it through to my Samsung TV for a while now via thunderbolt to HDMI but have only just wondered whether i can get the sound coming from my TV rather than the built in speakers on the macbook.
    I have tried going to System Preferences - Sound - Output. but there is no option for display sound or thunderbolt...... i suspect it's because i have a rather old macbook but it doesn't seem like an option that would only come on newer models.

    Don't worry about this post..... doesn't make sense. Mid 2009 models do not have thunderbolt ports nor do they support audio through HDMI : (

  • How to get sound from computer to tv using a MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter?

    Using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter I am able to get my computer screen onto my TV display.  However, there is no sound.  My MacBook Pro does not have a Mini DisplayPort and a Mini DVI port -- only a Thunderbolt.  Is there any way to get my computer sound to go through to my TV output speakers?
    Thanks for any assitance.

    VGA and DVI do not carry sound.  Only HDMI.
    Use a minidisplay-to-HDMI adapter.  Then when the TV is connected to the system use "System Prefences > Sound > Output" to select the TV for sound.
    Or connect speakers to the output port of the MBP.

  • How to get sound from phone when bluetooth connected

    Easily paired my Plantronic bluetooth headset - piece of cake.  However, if I'm not on the phone, I don't keep it on my ear.  Sounds, except phone ringing, only come thru the headset whe it is on.  I would like to hear the other sounds (i.e. notifications, text message alerts, other alerts) from the phone when my bluetooth headset is connected.  It would be a pain to have to turn the headset on/off just to hear anything from the phone.  I actually missed a meeting as the phone made no noise for my calendar reminder.
    I would like the option of routing the tones/alert sounds to either phone or headset or just have it automatically do both.
    Thanks

    Im afraid that disconnecting your blue tooth devise would be the only answer to your problem im afraid that is the only way
    Hope this helped

  • Getting sound from Mac to Vizio TV

    I use a 2008 Macbook Pro with a 17 inch monitor and using OS X 10.5.8. I am connecting it to my Vizio 47" with a DVI to HDMI cable. The connection works fine. That is, the dispaly works just fine.
    I'm having a sound problem. I have connected my computer to the TV with a jack from the headphone jack on the computer to to the audio jack on the back of the TV. No sound. The cable works with external speakers (again from my computer to the external speakers).
    On system preferences I have gone to Mac Help for "Changing your computer's sound device output. Among other things, the help box says, "To listen though your display's built-in speakers, select Display Audio." Of course, my TV has built-in speakers, so I'm wondering if I need to make a selection like that. If so, that's problematic because my System Preference give me only one output option: "Headphones" bulit-in output.
    Any suggestions on how to get sound from my computer through the built-in speakers on my Vizio TV?
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, in your version of the MacBook Pro, sound is not transmitted through the HDMI connection to your TV.  So, you're right, you have to go through a jack from your mini-stereo plug to your TV's speakers (or an amplifier, or external speakers).  There is nothing to do about that.
    The sounds output should be through "Headphones", because the Mac can't tell what's plugged in there.  The sound won't go through the "Display Audio."

  • How do I get sound from external device into my iMac?

    Hi there, I am trying to get sound from a Pioneer DJ mixer which has standard RCA outputs into my my new 21" iMac. Typically in the past I would get a converter from RCA to 1/4" stereo jack and plug into microphone input, how simple. Now Apple has changed the set up and have no idea as to how to get sound in. The headphone jack in the back of the iMac will only take sound in from earbud microphone, other than that it will only be for sound output. Any help would greatly appreciated.

    do i need to transfer the midi region to the audio region to hear the play back.
    If you need audio monitoring of your device the "Software monitoring" in the Logic Preferences must be enabled. You can switch on the Audio Track monitoring button (labeled as "I" at the bottom of the channel strip).
    ive tried recording the keyboard audio thru and audio track it works just cant quantize it like u said and i think ive already tried it before but ill give it a go again
    This is wrong conception. To be able to quantize or do any processing like that, you need to record your performance using a midi track in Logic.
    1. I hope you have created some Multi or Standard Instrument so you can edit (quantize) the midi region etc. When you decide that your midi work is O.K you can record it as audio using the Audio Track you are talking about.
    2. The other way (new one) is to use the "External" plugin inserted on a Software Instrument.
    This way combines midi and audio i.e you record/draw the midi on the Software Instrument track and is outgoing from the Software Instrument channel strip. In this method you must use "Real Time" bounce cause you use external midi device.
    3. If decide to use the second method you can bounce the audio but you also can record the audio on an Audio Track if route the Software Instrument to a Bus and assign the Audio Track "Input" to record from that Bus.

  • Getting sound from macbook to work on HDTV

    Hi, I'm having problems getting sound from my macbook aluminum 13" to my tv. The tv is a Samsung R8 Series 37" LE37R87BD HD. i got picture up by running a dvi to hdmi to the tv. i have no problem with picture but i can't get any sound. I tried 3.5mm jack from macbook to tv 3.5mm jack. got no sound. so bought a 3.5mm Jack to 2 x RCA and still got no sound. i even ran the the jack through my home cinema system and to no luck.
    is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

    Forgive what may be a dumb question on my part, but you are using the correct audio jack on your MacBook? The output would be the one closest to the security slot, farthest from the display/USB ports of the two 3.5mm/optical jacks. Also check the Output tab of the Sound system preferences to make sure that the Headphones/Line output is selected. It will probably be the only output shown, but double-check just to make sure.
    Note that not all TVs will work with an auxiliary audio input when the video input is set to HDMI. Check your TV's documentation to see if it can split the video and audio input to different sources. That wouldn't, of course, explain why your audio amplifier isn't getting signal either.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • Can't Get Sound from Harmon Kardon Soundsticks External Speakers

    My Soundsticks have worked fine on my eMac and iBook bow I can' get sound from them. The System Pref has only "Internal Speakers" as an output option. I've zapped the PRAM and fixed permissions with no luck.
    What am I missing? They have worked before and all connections from speakers to the iBook headphone jack are fine. Earbuds work.
    Any and all help is appreciated.

    Do the speakers still work with the eMac?
    Have you tried resetting the PMU?
    Are you saying that earbuds work with the iBook, while the speakers do not? How can that be if the only output option is listed as internal speakers?

  • IPod touch audio issue: why do I only get sound from one channel in my ear-pods?

    After upgrading my brand new iPod touch 5th generation to IOS 6.1.2 I only get sound from the right channel of my ear-pods.
    I did not have this issue with IOS 6.1.1. Is this a problem derived from new IOS? Any idea on how to solve it?
    Appreciate your help!

    Have you tried other headphones? If you confirmned it is an iPod problem:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
