Is it normal for the HDMI port to only transfer image to a TV but no sound?

I connected my Macbook to my TV via HDMI and it displayed the images but no sound.  The sound was stil coming from the macbook and I had to use the headphone socket to broadcast the sound to external speakers.  Is this normal or should the HDMI port take care of both?  If the latter then is there something in preferences that I need to change to make that happen?

Did you change the settings in System Preferences>Sound and select the TV as the output source?

  • Can I use my late 2013 Macbook pro as a display for my xbox one. I am currently sick with the flu and I do not have a tv in my room. Is there anyway to use the hdmi port on my mac and connect it to the xbox one?

    I am currently sick with the flu and in my room I dont have a tv. I tried plugging my xbox one's hdmi into the hdmi port on my macbook pro late 2013 retina display. I even tried connecting the hdmi cable to a hdmi mini display mort converter and that didnt work. How can I use my Macbook as a monitor to play game on

    I would guess that the HDMI port on your mac is for output only - no input, and that's what your'e attempting to do when you attach the mac to your xbox. I looked in Mactracker and it lists the HDMI port as video output for both the 13" Retina MacBook Pro and the 15" Retina MacBook Pro (your post didn't say which one you have), so looks like that is the issue..

  • Videocard to boot windows giving priority to the hdmi port, i need to DispayPort

    Hello!
    Yesterday bought a video card (N660 TF 2GD5/OC) and found such problem:
    Go to the video card connected:
    My TV: Samsung is connected via HDMI and my monitor: Dell is connected via DisplayPort
    Video card to boot windows giving priority to the hdmi port. My tv I have to constantly keep it turned on to use the BIOS of the motherboard.
    After loading windows become a priority monitor - as it should be. And to boot the operating system - my TV and I constantly have to turn it on in order to see the download PC.
    Need a priority on my monitor. What do I do? Thank you very much for your earlier for the help!

    Yes, IF you picked the right partition, as in the Boot Camp partition. If everything is done right you should be able to boot into the Mac side.
    If you already booted into Windows and are at the point of installing the Boot Camp Drivers your already done installing Windows! Yea! All you need to do is just install the drivers and everything should work normal.
    The Windows partition and the Mac partition are seen as two different HD's now as far as the computer knows.
    You can use the Boot Camp control panel in Windows to boot into the Mac side and the Startup Disk in System Preferences on the Mac to switch to Windows. If you can't then press and hold down the Option key untill you get the boot screen.

  • I want to view the screen of my dslr camera in live view on my macbook pro via the hdmi port, is this possible?

    I would like to view the output from my DSLR on the screen of my macbook using the hdmi port.  I know I can connect to a tv to send images "out" from my macbook, but is it possible ti send images in?? I operate my camera by remote control, and would really live a live view if possible.
    Thank

    Nope - you can only output video from your MBP - there's not a port for input.

    Thanks for any help! Regards

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • Does the HDMI port work on the Cisco set top box?

    I just bought a new tv (LG model 24MA31D) and the Verizon tech hooked up the FIOS set top box to it using the composite cables that came with it. The tv only has one set of ports for the 5 cables. To use my Wii I have to either trade out all the cables each time or use a 4-device component video selector I bought at Best Buy. The guy at BB said if the set top box has an HDMI port then I can just connect it to the tv with an HDMI cable and leave the Wii connected via cables. 
    I've seen some discussion on here that the HDMI doesn't really work on the set top box.  Is this true? Sure would be nice to have fewer cables and one less electronic device. Thanks in advance for your help!

    You didn't tell us which model of Cisco STB you have; however chances are very good that the HDMI port works and works well.
    Don't by HDMI cables at Best Buy.  You can find them online for 1/10th the price.  No need to pay for gold plating, all it does is gold plate some rich guy's pocket.
    Buy a HDMI cable or three and don't look back.
    Good Luck.

  • HDMI mini and no 5.1 out the HDMI port

    Looking through the posts there seems to be a reoccurring issue and that is when using the HDMI port on the mini there is not way to get 5.1 stereo out the HDMI port. 3.1 stereo seems to be working fine on it. That's with having the sound output set to HDMI and all that jazz. The only way I can get 5.1 out the mini is with a mini-TOSlink cable in the earphone jack and setting the sound output to digital in the sound system preferences. This works great but uses up an extra digital port on my receiver that I shouldn't have to use because HDMI should carry this. Hopefully there will be some kind of firmware update to fix this issue.

    This is an ongoing issue for many folks, which you can see by doing a search just in the Early 09 Mac mini and later forums. The adapter you link has been the way many folks have solved the issue.

  • To drive a monitor from a Mini, is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port?

    Is there an advantage to using the Thunderbolt port versus the HDMI port to drive a monitor?
    Can i just plug in my 18" LCD TV to the HDMI port and use it as a monitor?
    Thanks, friends ~

    Thanks, lllaass,
    I have a new Mini arriving tomorrow. It will be replacing my 9 year old iMac.
    I have at my disposal an older VGA monitor and a regular LCD TV with
    an HDMI input. I'm trying to decide which one will work the best for me. If I use the TV, I won't have to buy
    a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter.

  • Satellite X205 and the HDMI port

    Hi,
    Of what i can figure out from the product specification page for the Satellite X200-20S it does not have build in the HDMI port. Is that for real or it's only a mistake? The US version does have one, so i suppose the European should also have. Personally I don't see any reason for HD-DVD drive without the HDMI output...
    Regards,
    Michael

  • How do I connect my 27" iMac to the HDMI port of my LCD TV ?

    How do I connect my 27"iMac to the HDMI Port of my LCD TV ?

    I have the 22" imac
    beside it I have an 24" dell monitor
    I used a miniDisplayport->DVi converter in the TB port of the imac
    thats the best performance because DVI like Displayport are both digital interfaces
    same deal with hdmi really
    so you need a miniDisplayport to dvi or hdmi depending on the inputs on your tv
    and a cable and thats it

  • How to connect apple tv when the hdmi port on my tv is connected to the hdmi modem

    I just got at&t uverse tv service.  The modem is connected to the hdmi port on my tv.  I bought a 4 in 1 out hdmi connector box, but don't know if this will work.  I've tried plugging the apple tv into one of the in ports, but I can't get it to work.  I've tried plugging both the modem and the tv into the out box and other components into the in ports, but it hasn't worked.
    Has anyone ever run into this problem where the tv hdmi port is used and apple tv requires an hdmi port?
    thanks,

  • Can i use the HDMI port and the Mini displayport to HDMI adapter simultaneously to switch between two displays?

    I just bought a new Mac Mini and was hoping that i can connect my TV via the HDMI port and also connect a 19" monitor via the Minidispaly port to HDMI adapter or the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. This way i can pick between having the screen mirrored to my tv, or having the screen displayed at my desk.
    Is this possible?

    Yes. Note the resolution via HDM is limited to
    This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display or even a VGA display (with an optional Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, which is compatible with the Thunderbolt port).
