  • HD Audio Pass Through on Mac Mini HDMI port

    There have been various threads realting to this but nothin up to date or resolved as i can determine.  I plan to use a Mac Mini as the core AV processor in a high end 8 channel sound system in a home cinema set up.  The mac mini runing XBMC or similar will need to process high definitiion video files that contain Dolby and DTS True HD 8 channels bit streams and be able to pass these streams unchanged and uncompressed to the HDMI port for external decoding. 
    In previous threads it was identified that there was a hardware and/or OSX operating system limitation that prevented this.  Has this now been solved? It seems surprising that Apple of all people would get this one wrong.  As I have not yet purchased the Mac mini then i am not in a position to experiment as my 2010 macbook probably is not the same hardware.
    Thanks

    I know this thread is a little old now, but I've been wondering the same thing myself - so I googled it and came up with this thread.
    I've just bought a new 7.1 Amp, the Yamaha RXV677 from Richer Sounds. It handles DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. Up until now I've not been able to try this sound format out as my current 2009 Mac Mini only sends audio through the Optical Out, so the best I can get is Dolby Digital 5.1 pass thru via S/PDIF. I was quite happy with this arrangement, until I get around to buying a blu-ray player. However, I realised my work laptop is a 2014 MacBook Pro with HDMI out. Therefore out of curiosity I decided to download a couple of HD demos from demo-world.eu that have DTS-HD MA 7.1 audio tracks embedded in them. I tried opening them up in VLC media player (version 2.1.5) and hooked up my 2014 MacBook Pro via HDMI to my Amp. To my amazement it worked!! - I got glorious 7.1 DTS-MA into my Amp, and it sounded simply stunning!! In VLC I had two HDMI audio devices to choose from 'HDMI' and 'Encoded HDMI' (or something like that - I'll have to hook it up again to be sure). When using straight HDMI output, my Amp read it as 'PCM Audio' but when using 'Encoded HDMI' it read it as 7.1 DTS Audio giving the sample rate and bit rate. I need to spend a bit more time testing this out - but it definitely works, and it definitely plays in surround from all my available speakers (I have a 5.1 setup, so can't test the other 2 surround channels).
    I have no reason to believe that this will not work from a current Mac Mini with HDMI - although as yet I can't verify this, and I have only tested using VLC player with a .m2ts file.

  • What optical audio cable to use with Mac Mini (late 2009) to receiver?

    I want to do the following (removing TiVo for something else is NOT an option, EVER):
    1) I want to watch TV through my HD TiVo (better than sex, better than chocolate, better than sex, chocolate, and anything else you can combine together).
    2) I want to watch DVDs plus iTunes videos plus listen to iTunes audio through my Mac Mini.
    3) I want to have digital optical audio (TOS?) 5.1 dolby for both
    On the Mac Mini it says it has digital audio out. Isn't that the same thing as digital Optical audio out?

    You need a regular optical digital cable, often called a Toslink, with a 3.5 mm miniplug adapter on the Mac mini end. The port is a combo port. When you insert the optical cable's miniplug into the port, because it is a tiny bit longer than a regular 3.5 mm miniplug, it activates the digital audio. Usually the port's output is analog by default.

  • OS X 10.8.5 mac mini hdmi audio output issue

    I am running a 2012 Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.5 and my Mac is set for audio and video output via HDMI to my AV receiver / TV. I have recently noticed that HDMI audio output ceases to function once the computer goes to sleep. A full computer restart is required to resolve the issue which is an inconvenience to say the least.
    Or is anyone aware of a simple fix?
    All my software is up to date, the HDMI lead and connection works fine for video and audio works fine after a restart so it must surely be a software error. Worked fine until the latest OS X update...
    Grateful for any help!

  • USB Audio output for a intel Mac Mini

    Is there a USB Audio output device I can get for the Intel Mac Mini, that works in both Mac OS X and Windows XP Home?

  • Optical audio output not working on mac mini

    I have a brand new mac mini (less than a week old) that I've hooked up to my media center. Unfortunately, when I hook the optical audio output to my Pioneer receiver, I get no sound. I know the receiver decodes optical audio correctly because it does so with my DVD player and my Xbox. I have tried all 4 optical inputs on the receiver, and have tried two different optical cables, as well as 2 different optical adaptors (required by mac mini to go from TOSLINK to the mini TOSLINK output on the mac). This tells me that all signs point to the problem being with the mac audio optical output stage itself. I have called apple technical support and have had it looked at, at an apple store. Unfortunately, the apple store does not carry a device where the audio output could be plugged in to verify that no sound is delivered. Apple refuses to replace the unit because I cannot prove to them that the problem is with the mac mini and not with the pioneer receiver. I find this incredible. My first experience (and quite possibly my last) with a mac has proven to be a nightmare.
    Before I contemplate returning the unit and demanding my money back, is there any help anyone can provide....some magic bullet I've overlooked? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks....

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, when I plug in the optical cable to the mac, it senses it correctly and changes from "Internal Speakers" to "Digital Out" under the sound system preferences. Also, there is definitely red light coming out of the other end of the cable. That only tells me that the "carrier frequency" of light is most probably being generated, but not that the digital audio information is being modulated on top of it.
    Any other ideas? Out there?

  • Audio issues on Mid-2010 Mac mini upgraded to Lion

    I'm using a Mid-2010 Mac mini that came with Snow Leopard but I recently upgraded it to Lion. Every app works pretty well except for audio playback. Whenever I play a game or play a movie, audio stutters every 8 to 10 seconds for like a sec and it comes back in. Video keeps playing fine. It's pretty annoying since I can't properly play games or watch movies anymore. The rest of my apps are working very well except for Boxer which seems to have taken a performance hit.
    Currently, the hardware hasn't been upgraded in any other way - meaning it still has the original 2 GB RAM memory. It's connected to my HDTV via HDMI. It didn't manifest this issue until the upgrade to Lion.
    I've tried closing every app but it doesn't seem to help. Hope you can help me out. Thanks!!

  • Audio Update 2007-001 and mac Mini - boot hangs up

    I downloaded the Audio Update 2007-001 this afternoon, and I've had problems with my mac Mini ever since. I thought it took a long time to boot from the gray Apple screen, longer than would seem to be warranted with a 1 MB update. Then I got the blue screen and another spinning wheel. I did hear the audio port turn on, but I never got past the spinning wheel (not a pinwheel), so I powered down. That was a mistake.
    Fortunately, I could start up in safe mode. When I did, I saw that there was no audio device recognized at all. I restarted in normal mode and got the same problem as before: blue screen, spinning wheel. I'm going to let it sit there, but for how long?
    Any advice?

    I solved my own problem. After restarting in Safe Mode again, I downloaded the standalone version of the audio update, installed that, and restarted. No problems booting up.

  • Cannot output audio via headphone jacks with Mac Mini (2012) and Boot Camp

    Hi all,
    I have a brand new (2012) Mac Mini with a Boot Camp partition running Windows 7.  It's connected directly to an HDTV via HDMI cable.  I have external speakers hooked through the headphone jack on the back.  The speakers work fine if I'm in the Mac environment, but I cannot get the audio output to go through the headphone jack while in Boot Camp/Windows- it will only go through the speakers on the TV.  Any suggestions?  I think I've downloaded every driver I can think of, and the installation of Windows on the Boot Camp partition went well otherwise.  Thanks.
    John

    Nevermind, I was missing one driver.  Installed it, fixed.

  • Audio input/output problems with Mac Mini

    at first, my sound just stopped working all together and for some reason the monitor was getting no signal from the mac mini. i unplugged everything for a minute and plugged it back in and the monitor was working again, but still nothing with the sound. no sound coming out from even the internal speaker, and the audio in jack (which i use frequently) stopped working as well.
    this is the really strange part: after tinkering around trying to fix the problem i realized the only sound that comes out it is from the internal speaker, but it only comes out when i have something connected to the headphones jack.
    has anyone ever had a problem like this? i'm just trying to figure out if it is something i can take care of myself, or if i might need some repairs done.

    OK, then two things to do.
    First reset parameter RAM - it's an area of non-volatile memory used for system settings and hardware configuration. It it gets corrupted, it can cause odd problems.
    Reset PRAM
    -Shut down the computer.
    -Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in the next step but one.
    -Turn on the computer.
    -Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    -Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    -Release the keys.
    Next, perform an SMC reset. The SMC is the device which controls system hardware and devices, so if there is a problem with hardware components not functioning, it could be that.
    To reset the SMC on an Intel mini:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Can't multitrack with M-audio Fast Track and a Mac Mini

    I can't consistently record the two Fast Track channels, vocal and an acoustic/electric, simultaneously. I'm always able to record the channels independently just fine and they both come through if I create a stereo track. Every so often, after a random process of GB re-starts, track record button re-selections, and cable re-insertion, I'm able to get both to record at the same time but it's not a repeatable process. I've already done a permission repair. Any help or recommendations is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jay,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    One of 2 things come to mind. I couldn't find any decent information but
    1. The Fast Track USB might only be able to record either guitar/line in or XLR one at a time. Not simultainiously. I don't know, can't really say as I don't have this box.
    2. And this would be my guess. You may need to download the latest driver from M-Audio.
    It's been my experience (I had a MobilePre USB at one time) that an updated driver from M-Audio may not solve your problem. They aren't the best at supplying functioning drivers.

  • HT204388 LCD tv does not work with trackpad on Mac mini

    My Mac mini is connected to my tv on the Jimi to Jimi and the trackpad and the keyboard of not work right
    A fix for this ?

    Please provide more information.
    First, I have no idea what "Jimi to Jimi" means. This is probably just something you need to explain to me; a Google search didn't turn up anything useful.
    You said that the keyboard and trackpad aren't working right. What does this mean, exactly? Regardless, the monitor you use should have no effect on the function of your other peripherals.

  • Audio output from Mac mini 2009

    I have a 2009 Mac mini with mini dvi and mini display port outputs. Just bought an hdmi tv to use as the display. I understand audio is not supported out of the mini DVI, but what about the mini display port? I was thinking of using a mini display port to hdmi cable. Trying to avoid an additional cable for audio.

    There are two 2009 Mac mini models, Early 2009 and Late 2009. I can tell you for sure that the Early '09 Mac mini does not have integrated audio from the mini-DIsplayPort. It was my understanding that the Late '09 Mac minis built in 2009 also did not have integrated audio, but those made in early 2010 did. The only way to know for sure would be to test it. Apple reports that some m-DP adapters are not adhering to the VESA standard and even Macs with integrated audio in the m-DP do not with these poorly made adapters. Apple is only recommending the Moshi and Griffin adapters.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3065
    If your mini does not have integrated audio you can get a cool adapter that will solve that issue from Monoprice;

  • Audio interface loses connection every time my mac mini goes to sleep

    Using M-audio fastrack pro and newest mac mini dual 2.5 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4 Intel core i5.
    I have to restart to make it go away, it also just happened when I unplugged my monitor and plugged it back in...... Samsung syncmaster....
    Anyone had similar problems with Mountain Lion?

    Hi Mate,
    Used to have one of those, it was a real pain for dropping out on me, i don't know if you're aware but they don't support sleep mode.  Meaning that if you were to sleep your mac you need to pull the usb cable out first, and plug it back in when you resume.  If you don't you have restart your machine to have it work again.
    And yup, it's a right pain.  Mine was particularly sensitive - it dropped out when i switched my mixer on a few times which concerned me, found it ran much better when connected to AC Power.
