L430 miniDP to HDMI adapter (w audio)

Can you recommend a miniDP to HDMI F adapter that works with sound on L430? I recently got one from Startech through Amazon, but it does not stream audio to my TV.
I checked some reviews in Amazon, and it looks as if it supports only audio conversion from mini display port to HDMI1 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00310EEO4/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#productDetail...
I'm running Windows 7, and in the playback devices I have the laptop's speaker and three times "Digital Audio (HDMI)" devices that are always unplugged even with the cable connected to the TV.
Anything that ships to the EU should suffice.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You shouldn't have a problem with your current cable, it's practically the same as the others and capable of transferring sound.
Maybe you should check either the setup of the vga drivers (part of them is the HD sound driver for the display port) or the setup of your tv connection.
Unless of course the cable is faulty, it should do the trick...

Can someone help me by telling me exactly which Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with audio will support my model MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) and exactly what HDMI wire do i need to buy that will successfully preform digital audio and sadisfying quality visual through TV?

im not familar AT ALL with any of this so i hope me giving you my MacBook Pros make and model and my TV's model number will be enough information for someone to help me.
just please give me anything you can on this topic
thank you so much,

With a 2009 MacBook Pro, you need to use two connections to your TV: one for video and another one for audio. The miniDisplayPort on the 2009 models does not support audio, so you need a separate audio cable:
miniDisplayPort adapter for video - I use the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI adapter + a DVI-HDMI cable like this one
audio cable for audio - use a 3.5mm male stereo-to-2xRCA male cable like this one
Connect the miniDisplayport adapter + DVI/HDMI cable to your MacBook Pro's miniDisplayPort output and the HDMI input on your TV
Connect the audio cable to your MacBook Pro's audio out and your TV's audio in
The only potential gotcha is if your Hisense TV requires audio via the HDMI cable when you use an HDMI cable. The H3e user manual is unclear about this.

MDP to HDMI adapter with audio (MBP mid-2010)

Since the MDP now supports audio, I'd sure like to get a simple, single cable that converts from MDP to HDMI, passing video and audio through. MonoPrice had such a cable advertised, but they quickly (after I bought it) changed the description to indicate that it didn't support audio. Has anyone found a MDP to HDMI converter/cable that passes both audio and video through without requiring multiple ports (TOSLink and/or USB)? Seems like this ought to be a no-brainer, yet I can't find such a cable.

Hi Dave
At the moment, I'm waiting for a packet from UK with the Griffin Video Display adapter (found it on Amazon.co.uk)
I tried to buy it from griffin.com, but the postage to Europe was disproportionate compared to the price for the adapter.
Your link to the European dealers let me choose Apple Store (webstore) as the only choice because I live in Denmark. And the Danish (european??) Apple webstore doesn't include the display adapter.
I don't know, but I think it would be useful, if the Danish (and perhaps european) webstore could sell the products.

Hey Guys, from Germany. I want to connect my iMac 21" with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know, how it works. With a Hdmi adapter?

Hey guys! I want to connect my Imac 21 " with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know , how it works?

Selecting the correct adapter and cable depends on which year model iMac you have and what inputs the TV has?
Check the User's Guide that came with your iMac or your Spec's at > Apple - Support - Technical Specifications
to see if your iMac has a Mini-DVI or Mini DisplayPort and then select that adapter with the correct connection for the TV.
Example: if you have a 2010 or 2011 iMac and an HDMI ready TV, then you would want the > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.)

Does Apple make a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter? Not an off brand one, a legitimate Apple product.

I have a new Mac Mini and I want to connect a second monitor through the Thunderbolt port. I have not been able to find a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter that is made by Apple. I know there are some adapters made by other companies but I would prefer to have an adapter made by Apple. So does anyone know if Apple does in fact make an adapter that is Thunderbolt to HDMI???

I use this one - it has much better reviews and you can buy five of them for what Apple charges for the Moshi:

The Best Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter?

I am looking for recommendations on a good Mini Display Port HDMI Adapter for my Macbook Pro 2011 Sandy Bridge. I have gone through about 4 adapters in the past year due to the adapters become unresponsive after 2 or 3 months. I use my Macbook heavily on external monitors for my work (averaging 7 hours or more a day between various monitors).
I can rule out the HDMI wire itself not being the cause of the problem but the adapters have been a huge miss and drain on cash this year. If anyone who is also a heavy user can point me in the direction of a durable adapter I would be very grateful.

I always recommend monopriice.com for cables and adapters.
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
But all these adapters are in the form of "pigtails" and no matter where you get them the strain relief and the cables can fatigue and break from constant bending or pulling (doesn't help your macbook socket any either).
Maybe you should order a bunch. They are cheaper that way at monoprice.
Another possibility might be you trying a mini displayport to HDMI cable. No adapter.
Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support (10 ft.)
But of course you could get about 6 adapters for the price of that one cable!

Does the mini DVI port cary audio if using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter?

Hello everyone,
I've heard it is possible for a DVI port to transmit audio data to a HDMI connection if a DVI to HDMI cable is used, which will allow the sending of both audio and video to your TV. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port, but just wanted to check to make sure. My main goal is to get surround sound out of my powerbook. To do this by simply adding a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter would be GREAT!

Hi Jonathan,
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port
Yup, no audio, unfortunately. The audio will have to transmitted separately via the analog audio output.

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:
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Learn about the Mini DisplayPort in the latest Mac models that enables audio and video output for DisplayPort and HDMI.

I cant audio out of my macbook pro.it is connected by a mini port display/hdmi adapter. i went to network preferencesand my tv- external device doesnt come up how do i fix this does any one know?

can anyone tell me how to get sound out of my macbook pro. i bought a miniport display/hdmi adapter for my tv but in network preferences i got video to work but not sond. i cant get my tv to come up as a listed device so that i can change setting on output audio. i was told maybe something is disabled as devices so confused any help greatly appreciated 516angelo

Your Mac does not have a thunderbolt port, but has a mini display port instead. It will not output sound so you will have to get sound through a aux cable.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plays video but does not do Audio

Ok I was told by someone at the Apple Store durring my one to one secession that I could get a mini to HDMI cable and the video and audio from my laptop would be displayed on the TV.
This was the cable I was told to get http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0025V2VO0/ref=oxya_ohproduct

Now it displays the video on the TV but no audio.

Apparently it's the current range of MBP's that's the issue. In theory, the displayport standard supports audio.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter... no audio

i just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter for my MacBook Pro 2012 and have connected to my TV. I have video, but no audio. Does anyone know how to get the audio to work?

I might be wrong but the MBP 2008 does not have audio supplied capability over MDP to HDMI.

My Fall 2009 system DVI output to our HDTV doesn't include audio. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA plugs works if TV is in AV (PC) mode, but no picture. DVI to HDMI adapter to TV works fine for picture, but no audio.

My Fall 2009 model Macbook Pro DVI output apparently doesn't include audion. Adapting DVI to HDMI works with new LG TV, but doesn't provide sound. Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA jacks give sound with the TV in AV (PC) mode, but no video. Is there a fix for this? Search for a DVI to HDMI adapter that includes a plug for the headphone jack comes up empty, so far.

DVI has never included audio, sorry.
There is also no DVI->HDMI adapter including a plug for audio; such thing cannot work without quite a bit of electronic extra effort.
Instead of much bla-bla, why don't you tell the exact TV model, and we'll try to come up with a solution?
BTW, no home theater AV receiver present, correct? Sound to come from the TV, correct?

Kanex MIni DisplayPort+USB Audio to HDMI Adapter --NO SOUND

Hi,
I just purchased a Kanex Mini DisplayPort+USB Audio to HDMI Adapter for my new Samsung flat screen so I could watch netflix movies. The guy at Tekserve (NYC based authorized dealer) said it's really cool b/c it's audio and video all in one. Two cables are attached to a small box on one side and on the other side of the box is for the HDMI cable which goes to the TV (most of you prpbably already know this) .
The two attached cables fit into the the USB (audio) + mini display port. The video works great, but no sound. I called Apple for tech support and we tried a few things like changing the sound output to USB, but no luck.
I can call Tekserve on Monday, but would love to figure this out before then for the week-end.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Mary

There are actually 2 different Mini Display port to HDMI adapters from Kanex. One supports 2 channel audio through the USB audio out cable, which is the one you have Mary. The other one with the extra audio plug cable supports 5.1 digital audio.

I don't have either of these adapters but I would think that you "should" be able to go into your System Preferences under Sound. If the USB plug from the adapter is plugged into your MacBook, then it should show up in the output window in the Sound preferences which you would then choose instead of outputting the sound to the built-in MacBook speakers.
At the bottom of the product description page of the adapter that you have (the USB 2.0 version), it says this:
+Sound Output setting on Macs must be changed to "USB Sound Device/USB Type" to have the adapter operating correctly.+*
Let us know if you get it working properly. I'm considering getting one also.
Sorry.... I just re-read your initial post and it sounds like you already DID try switching the sound output to USB with no luck. The only other thing I can think of is the adapter might be bad and maybe exchange it for another one from where you purchased it. Or you could maybe exchange it for the 5.1 digital audio out version. Although it sounds like your sound is going directly into the tv via HDMI and not a surround sound receiver.
Kanex does have tech support and contact links on their web page. Maybe you should email them directly about your problem. Unfortunately I'm sure you'll have to wait til sometime during the work week to get a reply back.

Playing video AND audio through TV speakers using Mini Display to HDMI adapter

I have a late 2011 MBP and want to hear the sound of the videos I'm running on my MBP through the speakers of my LG HDTV. I have used a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (model f2cd021eb) plugged in to my MBP with an HDMI cable running from it to my LG HDTV. The video shows on the tv, and sound plays thru the MBP speakers. I have used an off-brand Mini DispalyPort to HDMI cable (without any adapter) - that is, it plugs directly into my Mini DisplayPort on my MBP and the HDMI port on my LG TV. The video shows on the tv, and sound plays thru the MBP speakers.
System Preference > Sound > Output, selected LG TV (type HDMI) and the note that displays is "Settings for the selected device: The selected device has no output controls".
I open Audio Midi Setup. It lists Built-in Mic (2 in/0 out), Built-in Input (2 in/0 out), Built-in Output (o in/2 out), HDMI (0 in/2 out). The Built-in Output is selected by default. The source is Headphones (Format 44100 Hz, 2ch-24bit integer, ch master far left, ch 1 and 2 far right with value of 1 for both dB of 0 for both).
Upon selecting HDMI, the source changes to LG TV (Format 48000 Hz, 2ch-24bit Interger, ch Master, 1, and 2 to far left and unavailable to adjust).
Upon selecting Configure Speakers, I click left front and right front and hear sound coming from the tv speakers just fine...loud and clear.
I'm deployed overseas and getting products through the mail is really really slow!! So any insight you can offer would be great!!

I was wanting to do the same and was at the verge of following The Official Way (Apple dongle + HDMI male to male cable). But on the trip to the store, found a TechLink iWire TB male to HDMI male adapter cable for half the cost, bit the bullet and got it instead: http://www.techlink.uk.com/products/apple/iwires/iwires_mini_displayport_plug_to _hdmi_plug
First time use with a Hitachi TV was disconcerting. Used to the old VGA setup, plugged everything in (while the rest of the family was watching regular TV on the unit), fully expecting the Mac to recognize the external display and send the signal over. No go. Tried resetting the PRAM, rebooting the Mac, no joy. Was about ready to write the cable off as a bad POS, when in a flash of inspiration switched the TV's input over to its HDMI port. Lo and behold, the Mac switched res and started sending sight and sound over at the TV's native capabilities. Did not need to fiddle with any adjustments at all. Sound was great, display crystalline clear. Wowed the folks.
And if I switched the TV to another input, the Mac would immediately disconnect and revert to its usual settings.
So yeah, the cable can be a culprit, but so can whatever's on the other end of the cable
