How to use HDMI ??

Hello all,
A friend just gave me an MSI R6570 graphic card and I would like to use my LCD TV with it.
I bought an HDMI cable but nothing appends...
My TV seems to not detect the signal
Is there something to do with Catalyst Control Center for instance ??

Yes, you will need to go into CCC and set the TV as a display to be used.  If memory serves me right, you right-click on the icon for the TV and can then select enable, clone, or replace.  enable will use both monitors, clone will output the same exact signal (including resolution) to both, and replace will turn off your monitor and turn on the TV.  If you're just wanting to watch videos or something on your TV and not using it as a dual-display setup, I would recommend replace, especially if your monitor isn't 1920x1080.  Even if it is, 1080p HDTVs often aren't truely that resolution, due to overscan.  You can try clone, but if it looks bad, just set the TV up as a single display and set its resolution to 1080p in the HDTV list on the resolution page of CCC.
Also, if you want the sound to be sent to your tv through the HDMI instead of coming out your computer speakers, you'll need to go to the sound options in control panel and set the default playback device to "HDMI audio out" (may be worded slightly different).

  • How to use hdmi converter make notebook video become high-definition

    Hey there SSaccio,
    I'm having a little trouble determining exactly which system is yours. The site everymac.com has a list of all standard mac products and I don't see a 2.4 G5. So the info I'm going to give you is based on the 2.3 G5 duo.
    This model ( http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg5/stats/powermac_g5_2.3dp.html )
    Has the ATI Radeon 9600 with 128 MB of DDR SDRAM occupies an 8X AGP Pro slot. Dual monitoring is supported with this card up to 1920x1200. So you might be good to go with what you have already. If you know that you don't have this card, then let me know what you have and I might be able to suggest something else.
    BTW
    Graphics cards for Mac have a different card BIOS (or firmware, whatever it's called) than the PC versions. Therefore, you can't use a PC card in a Mac and viceversa, without reflashing it.
    Nvidia, unlike ATI, does not sell their Mac cards as retail cards.
    So if you don't have the ATI Radeon 9600 card then that's what you wanna get. It runs about $150-200
    Cheers

  • How to connect sound or audio to my tv using hdmi adapter. I tried to connect thru sound settings but my tv is not found.

    how to connect sound to my tv set using hdmi adapter. Im using 2009 macbook pro 13". I went to sound settings then output and it shows internal speaker built- in, it wont locate my tv set. pls. help, thanks

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:

  • 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.

    Hi jenette,
    If you are having issues using an HDTV via HDMI as an external display to your MacBook Air, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019
    (Note: You will generally only see the arrangement option in Displays when you are configured to use the external display in Extended Desktop mode; there is no arrangement in Mirroring as both screens are showing the same image.)

  • How does one use Sound sticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

    How does one use Soundsticks while using HDMI at the same time ??

    Hi Caleb,
    This isn't a precise answer but a possible workable solution. SoundSource puts a menu extra which allows you to switch input/output and has an option for Auto-Switch to Headphones. The auto-switch feature doesn't work with USB headphones but I believe it will with 'regular' headphone plugs such as you use.

  • How to use B540P HDMI in? Lenovo tech support was not helpful

    I just bought a B540P all in one which has HDMI in/out connections. However there is no description in user manual on how to use it. I was hoping to connect an old desktop computer to the HDMI in, and use the all in one as an LCD monitor for my old desktop. Is this doable? How? I assume with the HDMI in, I can connect it with any HDMI sources, such as a DVD player or a game machine. Can anyone help me?
    I called Lenovo tech support line, and got no help from them. Basically they have no idea, and told me this is the first time they heard of this question.

    hi puffercow,
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.
    I really sorry to hear that our supprt team has not been as helpful as we do expect better from our support centres. I'll see what I can do to address this situation to ensure the the support teams are equipped for the future.
    However regards to your issues the B540 is equipped to have the HDMI to either use it as and internal or external source. What you need to to do is ensure that your desktop is connected with the HDMI cable and connect it to the HDMI-IN input on the back of the B540P. Powerup the the B540P as well as your Desktop. Once the B540P is loaded, you will then need to switch the display. (See illustration below) 
    If you not notice on the B540p, on the left there is a symbol with arrows circling each other. (Described in red cicle above). press that to flip the view from the B540p desktop and your connected to HDMI desktop.
    hope this helps and please do post your results.
    regards

  • Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

    Hi,
    I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

    With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid.  The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

  • No audio on TV when using HDMI

    Hello,
    I just bought the Satellite P875-S7200 and I connected it to my HDTV using HDMI. The problem is there is no sound coming out on the TV but there is sound on the laptop.
    I've checked the Playback Devices when you right-click the speaker icon from the taskbar and I don't see any HDMI option in there.
    How can you switch the audio out to the HDMI?
    Please help. Thank you very much.

     Right-click in that box and make sure you have the two items shown below checked.

  • Why can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

    WWhy can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

    Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.
    some people report success with a full factory restore.
    Re-boot ipad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
    force power down if the above give you trouble.
    Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.

  • Ps4 connect to laptop using hdmi

    Hi! Tell me how I can connect Ps4 to laptop screen using hdmi-cable?

    It's highly unlikely that it would work as the HDMI connections on laptops are typically outputs to connect to an external display. I've never heard of a laptop having an HDMI input.
