Is audio output via HDMI and componet cables possible?

When I watch movie I want audio through my TV speakers (via HDMI). That way I can control the volume through my TV remote.
When the TV is off and when I want to listen to music, i want audio to go to my Creative Labs "stereo" via audio component cables.
Is it possible to have both HDMI and audio component cables plugged in at the same time? to different sources and both outputting audio (not at the same time)?
thanks

Yes, audio will do this video won't.

Sending audio signal via hdmi and analog concurrently?

I have a TV via HDMI and an AMP via coax connected to my Mac Mini. Is it possible to send the audio signal to both devices concurrently rather than having to change the audio output setting each time I want to switch (because: When I watch TV the AMP is turned off, when I listen to music the TV is turned off).
Thanks in advance for tipps and hints.

Unfortunately the way the hardware is configured, you
can have HDMI audio or have audio output from the
line out jack. Just the way it is.
One way around it is to get some USB audio adapter
and use it for analog. Even at that, you will still need
some third party utility to output to both.

Z77a GD65 simultaneous audio output via digital and analog jack?

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use the digital audio spdif out, and the green 3,5mm jack (I use it for my headphones) at the same time?
When I use the digital out, and I run a 'test' with the analog out, I can hear the test signal so technically it should work.
However, I can't find the right settings to actually use both outputs (same source: for instance iTunes) at the same time.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jeroen

My old msi cuba 7301 from 2007 has an spdif output, and I was able to use this digital out together with the 3,5mm line out (which I used for my headphones) simultaneously. I understand what you're saying, but I'd say the user should decide in what way he/she wants to use the product . Technically, it shouldn't be a problem, since I can hit the 'test' button and hear the sounds through my headphones via 3,5mm stereo out, while playing music through the digital out.
Anyone from MSI who knows the answer? If it was possible in 2007...
Thanks for your answer

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
Thanks

No. You can only use one sound output:
Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

Simultaneous audio output from Ipad and bluetooth ?

Is it possible to have simultaneous audio output from IPAD and a bluetooth speaker? At present I can only get audio from the Bluetooth Speaker and nothing from the IPAD's audio out! My purpose is that my Mom will hold the IPAD to listen to her Audiobooks but my Dad who sits across the room and is hard of hearing needs a speaker close to him, so I need simultaneous audio from both devices.

The speaker output on the iPad is pretty limited and your mother will probably have a hard time hearing it. Get a BT speaker for both and the above device and they both can listen from whatever location they want (within 40 feet) and get better sound.

Inspiron 3847 losing video output to HP w2207h via HDMI and Analog upon Restart

I recently purchased an Inspiron 3847 and hooked it up to an HP w2207h monitor by VGA and HDMI. Twice I have installed new software and upon restart I lose all video output. The computer is running, but I am unable to get video to my monitor to use it.
I am not sure where to go from here, as I have hooked up my laptop to the monitor also by VGA and HDMI and the monitor works fine?

* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H off
* Disconnect the VGA cable from both the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H
* This leaves only the HDMI cable connecting the Inspiron 3847 to the W2207H
* Turn the Inspiron 3847 and the W2207H on. Does anything appear on the W2207H? If yes, allow it to boot all the way into windows
* When done, restart the Inspiron 3847. What happens?

Audio output port moves and wont let me plug in my cable

Suddenly, when i try and put in the audio jack for my 2 speakers into my iMac it seems to not click in. When i shined a flash light at it the port it seemed to move when i plugged in the cable. This has all happened rather quickly which is making me confused. I use my iMac for gaming and never plug in cables with a heavy hand as i am young and i promised to look after this iMac. After understanding what has happened, i ask my parents what might have happened and they did not have a clue. My question is whether it is normal for the silver ring inside the port's hole usual moves and why my cable isn't clicking in.
EDIT:
- I have tested multiple audio output devices like speakers, earphones and headphones and it still wont click and it still moves.
- My iMac is running with 8gb of ram, Intel Iris Pro 1GB Graphics card and 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor.
If you need any more details please request them.

Clean the lint/debris from the connector.

HDMI Audio Output via Mini Display Port to Sharp Aquos TV cuts out every 10 seconds

I haven't had an issue til I recently did a software update to my Mac Pro.
I have two mini-display ports on the back of my machine but always have been able to listen to audio from the HDMI connection without an issue. Anyone else having this issue? I checked and reset all the setting on my Television and get prompted that a icompatible PCMI audio signal is being recieved.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks!

I have seen one report that this is an acknowledged bug in OS10.6.8, the only cure for now is reverting OS:

Audio & video via HDMI to an external monitor with lid closed.

I would like to run a Macbook Pro Retina (2014) with the lid closed and all video and audio via HDMI routed to an external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster from 2010). Is this possible? When I try this, no sound is transferred to the external monitor and I cannot operate the Macbook Pro with the lid closed. As soon as I close the lid, it cuts the signal to the external screen.
I’ve tried looking for previous posts but they’re about MCP’s connecting via Thunderbolt or DVI. Any ideas?

Seems like there may be two separate questions here. Audio working in either configuration and video from HDMI when lid closed. First, you are doing this with the Mac running off of AC, not battery, right?
Audio:
Is the HCMI cable you are using able to carry the audio? Some cables don't.
The only way I've ever used external displays with lid closed is with the thunder port (or DVI) adapter, not with the HDMI. I see the specs from Apple:
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
So have you tried varying the screen res to determine the results? I can find no specs regarding what ports remain operational in clamshell. Like you, I would have assumed all of them.
I suspect only the thunderbolt port would support your desired config -- try a thunderbolt/hdmi adapter.
Finally, clamshell mode doesn't allow the MBP to cool efficiently. Heat kills electronics, so if it's too warm or the fans really kick in, you might want to reconsider this setup.

Will ATV 3 output from HDMI and Optical at the same time?

I'd like to use my apple TV to feed music to my main AV receiver while at the same time sending that same audio signal out the optical out connection to my other AV receiver that provides music to all of the rooms in my home. Right now it feeds the music to my main AVR via HDMI just fine but nothing to my other AVR.
Is this possible?

We've used an airport express since 'the beginning' - for years to get our Wifi from our cable modem in our garage while simultaneoulsy using it to output audio to a VERY old tuner in the garage. I have some nice outdoor Bose speakers connected to this setup which allows any mobile device wifi equiped to output any audio through my setup.... i.e. we usally use iTunes off our laptop while we are chilling outside. Perfect marriage of new school and old school technology.

Can I connect via HDMI and get 1920x1080?

Can I connect my MacBook Pro HDMI adapter up to my new Samsung Display via the HDMI connection and get 1920x1080? Or is the 1080p the best display I can do with that connection? Should I get the VGA adapter instead?

Not so fast please...
for HDMI rev 3.1 and above the AOK
However my SHARP 42" flat screen (model LC-42D72U) requires DVI MBP (adapter ) to DVI port on the SHARP.
I also have HDMI( and S video, component video and composite video) Also digital audio output from SHARP flat screen but for max UXGA resolution at horizontal frequency of 75.0 kHz DVI the way SHARP requires.
Fortunately Apple gave me DVI adapter free ( seldom heard nice four letter word )
