HT4241 HDMI hooked in, picture great, but no sound?

I have an hdmi cable hooked up from my mac to the tv. I can get picture but I cannot get sound. Can someone tell me if there is a setting I need to change and where is it?

Mary,
What year is your MBP? Prior to 2010 they didn't carry audio over HDMI. You can get around it by using a separate cable from your headphone jack to audio in on the TV.

  • HDMI cable connected from new HP Spectre i5, 4Gb, 128Meg, (WIN 8.1) to TV, picture fine but no sound

    Hi.. HP spectre G4X24PA#ABG, bought a few days ago, links in via HDMI cable to Sony HD TV - picture fine but no sound.. tried Control Panel, Sound etc but no HDMI sound to click and make say default??   IDT High Definition Audio Codec listed but no connect to HDMI - suspect drivers not up-to-date?? But HP assistant says all is up to date??  Have looked on web - many answers for Win XP/Vista etc but I am running WIN 8.1- can always connect external speakers or use Y-connector but I think this single HDMI cable SHOULD work?? Any help much appreciated - first post so please treat me gentle  (and as a new silly nerd head please... i.e simple replies please...)!!

    Solved this??.   does appear to be the  order in which the equipment is connected... first, HDMI cable connected to TV and computer, then switch on computer, then switch on TV.. seems to work with picture and sound coming from TV each time so far...   (Plus, on one occasion I had to check "mute" was off!!)

    Hi Winston,
    I have Apple TV on - in the lower right corner of the iTunes - if it is this you mean.
    I have also - in system settings - under Sound - marked Apple TV - and AirPlay.
    Above this line is a programme called WiFi2HiFi.
    Can it make some disturbances?
    Is it supposed to be there or have I faulty installed it myself?

  • Imac - dvi to hdmi.  It works great, but I have one problem with blue flicker on my imac

    Yesterday I bought a dvi to hdmi connector from Apple store, and successfully connected my iMac (10.6.8) to an LG 50" monitor. 
    It works great with one problem.  My imac flickers blue every 2 secs when TV is on but set to other inputs.
    We use the TV for other things (TiVo, DVD) as they are HDMI1, HDMI2 and the iMac is HDMI3. 
    I tried several things, and each worked with Audio and Video.   I currently have it setup as seperate screens instead of duplicating the screens, but each worked fine.  And each had the same problem below.
    The problem comes if I am on the iMac and then turn on the TV to watch something.  As soon as I do, my iMac display starts flickering blue every 2-3 seconds as it is obviously talking to the LG TV.  As soon as I set the TV to HDMI3 everything works.  If I turn the TV off, everything works. 
    I don't want to have to connect the cable every time I want I want to project to the TV (although I guess I can live w/ that).  Is there a way to have this setup correctly?
    thanks for any help in advance.

    As an update, after 2 weeks of tinkering with this setup, the iMac is usually able to settle down after about 20 seconds of flittering.  And, if it does happen where the iMac stays blue screen, I can switch the TV to show the HDMI input from the computer, which works, and if I want, switch it back.
    So, all in all, it works very well.  I just needed some more patience.

  • I am new to all this technology. I just hooked up apple tv but the sound comes only thru tv and not my sound system, any advice?

    What do I need to do to make sound come thru sound system, not just tv when using apple tv?

    How is the Apple TV connected to your sound system? Are you using the HDMI cable or an audio cable?

  • Pavilion g6-1b70us. Picture but no sound from tv when using HDMI. Previously worked no problem.

    I have a pavilion g6-1b70us that I am trying to hook up to my tv with an hdmi cable.  I get a picture, but no sound.  This previously worked with no problem.  When I pull up my sound playback settings the only options are speakers and headphones.  When I pull up my devices, the Samsung tv is there, but is described as a "generic monitor" (thought that was weird).  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my intel graphics driver and IDC audio driver but still no sound through TV.  Also, I will mention that in under control panel>devices and sounds there is a link to SRS Premium Sound.  As you can see in the picture below, the Samsung device shows up, but it is grayed out and cannot be selected. Can someone please help?

    Well in case anyone is interested I fixed the issue (only took me 12 hours to figure out, lol).  Apparently even though the Samsung tv was not appearing in the sound playback options, you can still right click in the blank area and an enable/disable option will appear.

    Thank you for all your responses to my questions really appreciate it.
    I have the HDMI cable hooked up directly to the TV and I do not have an optical hook up directly on the tv. The receiver is in a separate room. Not close enough to connect to the receiver. Can I connect the apple TV though my DVD player which has a HDMI port and in the same room as the receiver?

    You really need a newer Mac Mini with a true HDMI output, because that Mac Mini's DVI output does not support Audio.
    You might try a 3.5mm to RCA adapter
    from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV's audio input,
    but that would require being able to select the Audio input in the TVs menu while using it's HDMI input.
    Optionally you could also use an external 2.1 Speaker System or patch the audio from the Mac Mini to your home stereo system to enhance that older Mac Mini's audio.

  • I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work using Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

    In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
    If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page.  At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
    Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often.  This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
    I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector.  Computer monitor first, TV second.  But the thing is only 27 in.  Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

    I purchased a HDMI cable to watch movies and slide shows from my mac book pro to my Sony Bravia TV. I get picture through the TV but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

    Go to sounds in system pref and select outputs. When the hdmi cable is plug into the tv it will show as an option under output. Just select that option.
