Lenovo A62 sound via dvi

Hello Everybody,
I want to use a dvi to hdmi cable to transfer graphic and sound via dvi to the tv. Is this possible?
I allready installed realtek high def. audio driver and amd catalyst software suite but no sound over dvi, only over system speaker.
Any idea ?

this is not possible with the integrated GPU. There are certain Nvidia graphics card that allows you to do this. But none of the Lenovo shipped Nvidia graphics card has this ability.

  • 2005fpw via DVI: very slight flicker and annoying sound

    I might just be paranoid, but ...
    1) Does anyone using a Dell 2005fpw with the Mac Mini via DVI sometimes see the screen flicker ever so slightly? It's not so much a flicker as a pulse (screen gets a tiny bit brighter, then back to "normal" again). It usually happens only when the monitor wakes from sleep, and goes away after a few seconds, or sometimes a restart will do the trick (thus maybe a video card problem?).
    2) Also, do you notice a brief buzzing sound (such as when you turn on a TV) when the monitor comes out of sleep? I just never knew an LCD to make that sound.
    3) Has anyone yet to find a way to dim the backlight (not only for a darker screen, but to save on backlight life as well)?
    Thanks for any help.

    1) No. Sounds like you could have an electronic component problem or one that is out of tolerance range. Could be as simple as a bad ballast capacitor on the inverter PCB. If it annoys you to no end you could do a warranty swap. But if not I usually recommend against such swaps as you get a refurbished monitor in exchange which could have a separate problem lurking in the background waiting to rear its head down the road.
    I swapped a 2001FP for bad pixels and got a zero bad pixel refurbished unit in exchange, but the analogue VGA driver was faulty. Not a problem because I drive it through the DVI connector. This monitor strangely enough only on the PC will exhibit the screen blanking problem which is a faulty cap on the circuit board that needs replacing. I can use the custom Nvidia settings to back the frequency down to eliminate the symptoms on the PC. Strangely enough when my mini is driving that monitor it doesn't exhibit the error. The minis electrical levels through the DVI port must be different.
    2) No. This is also what makes me believe you just got one off the line with a out of spec or faulty component. Again, is this a critical problem for you is the ultimate question.
    3) You have a backlight setting which is not very useful as far as the dynamic range of values. More can be done in the menu system by using User Defined R,G,B colour values and bring them down, this will give you the dimming power you are most likely searching for.
    There are speciality LCD repair shops that do mostly laptop work that have a lot of experience fixing the various manufacturing problems and some are skilled enough to dissolve a heavily scratched plastic coating off the LCD matrix and float on a new plastic coating for you. I would recommend talking to them if you really love your monitor and/or don't want to go the risk of refurbed unit exchange route.

  • No sound via mini display to HDMI connector

    Hi all,
    I have the i7 8G ram version of the X1 Carbon (UK version) and love it.  The only issue I have with it is in relation to the mini display port.  I use a lot of HDMI equipment so immediately bought the mini display to HDMI connector from Grifin, see http://store.griffintechnology.com/video-display-converter but whilst video exports fine no sound is being output via the HDMI cable and end up sound via the X1 speakers which are great for personal use but useless in a large room full of people.
    I already contacted Griffin support and they quickly referred me to Lenovo.
    All help much appreciated.

    BenEadir,
    When you have a video or sound file playing, go to Control Panel, Sounds, Manage Audio Devices.
    Then when you are in Manage Audio Devices, you will se a list of devices and the external device/TV your mini display port is connected to as one of the options. Just choose the one you want and set it as your default audio device and the sound should automatically go to the selected device.
    Let me know if this works for you.
    Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,

  • MBP Clamshell Mode via DVI LG Monitor

    Hi
    I know this one has been done to death but.......
    I have a MBP 2.2SR and yesterday I got a LG 22" monitor. Originally I tried to connect via DVI, usual process
    Ensure MBP is connected to the mains
    Connect Display
    Ensure Keyboard is working
    Close Lid on MBP
    Use space bar to wake up.
    This doesnt work, the screen is in MBP resolution and not the LG screen and after a couple of seconds it goes to sleep.
    However, I have tried a DVI to HDMI cable and this works fine.
    Problem is I also want to connect my iMac to my LG display (2nd screen), again by DVI and this will not work.
    Any ideas?

    So the DVI input is not working when attempting to drive it by either the MBP or the iMac? That sounds like a problem with the LG's DVI input if it isn't working with two different Macs. Either that or the DVI cable is bad (even more likely).
    You are switching the LG to the DVI input, correct? Or does it auto-switch between inputs depending on if it detects the presence of video or not?

  • Apple 20" CD connects fine to MacBook Pro 2009 via DVI to Mini displayport (adapter) but not to Radeon 5770 (either MDP ports) on MacPro 2008?! Have Eizo CG223 on DVI to 5770. Any ideas?

    Here's the setup:
    Eizo Coloredge CG223 DVI to DVI on MacPro 5770 interface (ACD works fine on this too, naturally).
    Apple Cinema Display 20" have the DVI connector. I have a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter on this, into one of the 5770's MDPs, neither of which seem to work.
    Plug the same ACD via DVI (with DVI to MDP adpater) into my MacBook Pro 2009 MDP and it works fine as a second screen.
    So what's up with the 5770 MDPs? I've seen online that the card should at least support two displays, either MDPs x2 or MDP and DVI. I've seen there may be an issue with three, not two.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks,

    Striped down to bare inputs - monitors and keyboard/mouse. Works! Dimerising must have interfered with it. Phew!

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

  • PB Al 15" won't display to Dell 2001FP via DVI

    After hooking up a Dell 2001FP display to my PowerBook Al 1.5Ghz/15" via DVI, the external display displays nothing. The Mac senses the display per Monitors system preference and Apple System Profiler but nothing is output to the display. I'm using Dell's bundled DVI cable (which appears to be a DVI-D single link, per http://www.comsol.com.au/dvi.asp). DVI works just fine via PB G4 1.5Ghz/12".
    As a workaround, the VGA is working fine from the PowerBook to this display. I'd really, really much rather use DVI. Is there any way to get this PB Al 15" to work via DVI to the Dell 2001FP? Possibly via some different kind of cable?
    Scanning the Apple forums didn't get me a direct answer. I vaguely remember something unique about the 15" DVI with certain third party configurations.
    PB G4 1.5Ghz/15"   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Dell 2001FP

    Try resetting your NVRAM…
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Another thing to try is to change the ends of the DVI-D cable. I too am using the included cable that came with my Dell display and it works just dandy. Obviously if it works with your 12" PowerBook then the problem is with the 15" PowerBook.
    It is possible that the 15" is trying to display at a setting that your display can't handle. What you can do is to open the Displays System Preference, click on the Gather Displays button and try different settings. Make sure you start at a 60Hz refresh rate.
    To be honest it's a bit weird that you're having a problem because it, as I'm sure you're aware, should just work.

  • TV & monitor connected via DVI to VGA & DVI cable. Wont display

    I have my TV & monitor connected to my mini via DVI(input) to> VGA(output) & DVI(output) splitter cable. I cant get both tv and monitor to work at the same time only one or the other. How can I get this to work?
    Note: I dont want a continuous display, I just want one to show the same as the other. If there both plugged in why dont they both work?

    The answer to your question would require having a block diagram of the mini's graphics sub-system. If the DAC (digital-to-analog converter) behind the VGA port is just driven from the same output as the TMDS transmitter behind the DVI port, then I agree it would be possible that both could output the same screen simultaneously. But if the VGA and DVI ports are treated as seperate channels all the way back to video memory, then likely one would be prioritized over the other, only one could be active, and they would not be able to output simultaneously.
    Another potential problem is that TVs and computer monitors generally want to run at very different formats and they require different signal types to be happy. A TV will want an interlaced output whereas a computer monitor will not. And a TV will want a very low resolution, like 640 x 480, whereas a computer monitor will be happiest at a much higer resolution.
    I hope for you that someone else has this working and chimes in with some practical advice. I try to avoid making posts where I have no practical advice to offer and only bad news, but in this case I thought you might want to know about some potential barriers to success. Good luck.

  • HT2809 No video from MacPro3,1 (2008) to NIKO SV3706 LCD TV via DVI to HDMI cable.

    I connected a DVI to HDMI video cable from my MacPro3,1 (2008) to a NIKO SV3706 LCD TV - and got a blank screen. The TV does NOT indicate "no signal" - as it does on unconnected inputs. (BTW: It works via DVI-VGA.) Any suggestions?

  • MacBook to TV via DVI strange for DVD full screen

    The TV has the same resolution as the MacBook (1024x768).
    The display works fine via DVI.
    DVDs displayed inside a window are ok.
    However, when playing a DVD full screen, after a few seconds the visible image part of the movie moves to the top of the TV screen (having a small part, the very top, not visible anymore on TV) - while the MacBook still shows correctly the movie (with the image centered vertically).
    It seems this is caused by the way the DVD player "hides" the commands (in full screen) a few seconds after the user stops moving the mouse. It seems the commands are displayed "below" the visible part of the movie on the Mac - while the TV "tries" to display it anyway, thus moves the whole 1/3 to the top.
    Since the TV shows the correct screen when not playing DVD full screen, it is likely to be a problem with the DVD player.
    Is there a particular setting I should focus on?

    Are you using your external screen in Mirrored Mode? If so, the TV resolution and the MacBook will have the same resolution (1280 x 800 max.). If you uncheck mirrored in Display Preferences, you'll be able to get your TV's maximum resolution. This would be called extended view. Or, you could use it in [Closed Clamshell Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131].

  • My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers

    iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
    My phone no longer outputs any sound via it's speakers. I can hear sound with headphones and also if it is connected by the dock connector it will output sound to whatever it is connected to.
    I have tried plugging and unplugging headphones several times thinking that it is stuck in headphone mode but that did not resolve the problem. I tried a factory reset in case it was software related but that didn't fix it either. The phone is  out of warranty.
    Thanks.

    Bring your phone to Apple for out of warranty replacement.  In the US this will cost $199.

  • For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

    HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working.  I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers.  A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem.  However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem.  Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers.  I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set.  The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware  tab the device status states "this device is working properly."  Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device?  If so, how do I resolve this situation?

    HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
    My computer:
    VISTA
    HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
    Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
    Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

  • 5.1 Sound via HDMI in Windows 7

    Hi there,
    I have a MBPr and have got the sound working via internal speakers and also can get surround sound via the optical connection. I'm trying to get surround sound working via the HDMI port though, but so far have had no luck.
    The system reports that there are only 2 channels available via the HDMI. Orginally it had them listed as nvidia HDMI Digital Audio, but after me messing around it's just labeled as generic HDMI Audio.
    Has anyone managed to get this working correctly? If so which drivers are needed as Windows just installs the generic ones. I've tried the Cirrus Logic and also the nvidia drivers, but they aren't recognised.
    Any help would be appriecated.
    Thanks.

    Same problem here. Did you ever figure it out?

  • Macbook Pro won't connect via DVI

    Hello all,
    My Macbook Pro suddenly won't connect to any monitor using a DVI connection. If I use a VGA monitor (via my DVI to VGA connector), everything is dandy, but connecting directly to a (i.e.) Samsung or an Apple Monitor via DVI, the OS just blinks once (like if there is a connection), but the display is not being detected and is not turned on. I tried to delete all display preferences and I've zapped the PRAM without any result.
    Before I send the powerbook in for repair (my fear is that it's the DVI-connector that's broken), I just wanted to see if there's anybody out there who have had similar problems, that perhaps could be solved via software (i.e. the system)...
    Cheers,
    Massimo

    I am having the same problem as the rest on this thread. My VGA works fine in most cases, but my DVI will not work with any amount of prodding. Also, I have been trying to make use of matrox dualhead2go's and triplehead2go's, but these will not function correctly unfortunately. I got the whole logic board replaced a year after I got this laptop because it had strange display issues (the old red/blue square problem) but I'm far out of warranty now.
    I am a student and a video artist requiring use of multiple projectors for my final mfa thesis project..but this is really going to mess up my plans if there isn't a free/cheap fix..anyone have suggestions for speaking with tech support/customer relations?

  • MacBook to Samsung T260HD via DVI no display detection

    I am actually having the same problem with a T240HD. I have a MacBookPro4,1 , GeForce 8600M GT
