MacBook HDMI output

Went to Apple store and they recommended that I use a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter with a DVI-D to HDMI cable to drive my Panasonic TH-42PX500U.
Well I hooked it up and got a great picture which did not feel my screen. My ATV works great at either 720p or 1080i.
Their are a bunch of resolutions listed under the display settings in system preferences.
My question in which will lineup best with my Plasma since the notebook does not have native HDMI?
HD video resolutions (ie 1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080) do not fill the entire screen.

I have tried and purchased both DisplayConfigX and SwitchresX. For the life of me I cannot get the DPort>DVI>hdmi hookup to work to my 42" Panasonic. The new Pana supports 480P, 720P and 1080i. Even when I select these setting in DisplayConfigX I get nothing on the Plasma. The Apple TV works with everyone of these settings in the same HDMI port. The only way to get a desktop on the Plasma is to set it to 1280 x 720.
Something is crazy wrong with me. I have no more ideas. The best display I can get is with the DP>VGA adapter at 1280 x 768. And it is nothing to write home about. The display works fine with my iMac, HP Notebook and my Dell notebook.
Total bummed!!

HDMI output not working MACBOOK Pro (Oct 2014)

I am trying to get another screen connected to my MBP, I have tried numerous screens and cables to achieve this, but I can not get it to work.
Is there a on/off or disable HDMI output on the MBP?
I have used various screen, which i know work. And a HDMI to DVI and HDMI to HDMI cables to screens . I know the cable and screens work as I use them at work on a daily basis.
All I get is "No signal connected".
Is there any diagnostics or tests I can do?

I have a 13" MacBook Pro.

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?

Macbook pro loose HDMI output

Hello!
The MB HDMI output feels loose. When the cable is connected to the output it feels really "wiggly". Is this normal? Does anybody notice a loose feel or is it completely tight?
Thank You

I think this is problem on all MacBook Pros. I have the same issue on my brand new 2013 Mac Pro as well.

Hello, I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch Late 2013. Is the HDMI output revision 2.0 or 1.4a? Thank you all!

Just as the header states, Is the HDMI output on my macbook pro retina 13 inch the 2.0 version or the 1.4a version? Thank you!

I'm asking this because, hdmi 2.0 allows 4K output at 60hz (right?) versus 30hz for HDMI 1.4a. I might connect another 4K display to my mac in the forseable future.

No multi-channel available with HDMI output in Audio MIDI Setup on Macbook Air mid-2011 !!!!!!!

Hi everybody !
I am currently facing some problem with seting up a surround sound system.
I looked everywhere on the web but i couldn't find any proper answer to this problem.
To sum up, i want to have a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound when i'm playing a movie (with an AC3 audio track obviously).
I have a Macbook Air 13" Core i7 connected to a SAMSUNG Plasma TV via an iWires thunderbolt -> HDMI cable (bought on the same time as the MBA). This TV is connected to an amp via an optical cable and this amp to a 5.1 system.
When i am going to Audio MIDI Setup to configure the HDMI output, i cannot select any multi-channel option, only stereo !!!!
Is someone has any idea how to solve this problem ? I am struggling a lot and spent hours on that without finding any solutions !
Thanks a lot for your time !

Hello ckkzzzle,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and think I have a great article to help troubleshoot it. The article is called Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
Start here, and work your way down as needed:
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
All the very best,
Sterling

Does MacBook Pro 13" Retina Supports 2560x1600 HDMI Output?

Hi, I tried one of the HDMI to DVI adapter on my MacBook Pro 13" Retina, and the screen only shows a 1280x800 option. I am wondering if Macbook Pro 13" Retina supports 2560x1600 HDMI output, and if it does, can it work with HDMI to DVI adapter (which adapters to be specific)? Thanks!

"Officially, Apple reports that the Retina Display MacBook Pro models can support two displays up to a 2560x1600 resolution via the Thunderbolt ports or one display with a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and one display up to a maximum resolution of 1920x1200 via HDMI."

Can't get audio HDMI output to work on ViewSonic VX2453 monitor

I have a 13" mid 2011 MacBook Air and a new ViewSonic VX2453 monitor. I used the Monoprice mini display port to HDMI converter with audio and connected the monitor to my computer's thunderbolt port. The video works perfectly, but the sound isn't working at all. I set my computer's sound output in settings to VX2453 series (type: HDMI), and I set my monitor's audio input to HDMI. Nothing. I also tried changing the frequency in Audio MIDI Setup, which someone recommended on amazon for the monoprice adapter, but that didn't work either.
I tested the monitor's sound by switching audio input instead to "audio in" and connected to my headphone jack, and that worked so the monitor's sound is fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi - I'm just setting up my VX2453, as well. I got sound to come out of it via the same HDMI output setting on the Mac as you describe, so I think you're doing the right thing.
Be sure you've selected the correct HDMI input (?).
Related, on my monitor, the audio can't be adjusted anywhere other than through the cumbersome volume control on the monitor. That is, when playing over the HDMI on the monitor's speakers, the volume controls on the MacBook Pro no longer respond (grayed out).
Anyone know how to make the volume controls on the MBPro respond under that setup?
Thanks.

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

HT3235 Does a Imac 17" A1173 suports a HDMI output?

saluI have an Apple iMac Desktop with 17" (Early 2006 17-inch) Modelo A1173 Display MA199LL/A (1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512 MB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, SuperDrive). Acording to apple forum (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3235) the cables that supports my imac are : M9321G, M9319G, M9320G. I found an adapter from Dvi port to HDMI and i think it's the same port. But my Imac supports HDMI output? here's the link to the cable i found: "http://listado.mercadolibre.com.ve/cable-mini-dvi-a-hdmi-para-conectar-mac-de-ap ple-pdr12" check it out ....

Sorry, TDM only works on 2011 and later iMacs on Macs that also have Thunderbolt connections. For example if you have MacBook Air with Thunderbolt it can use your 2011 iMac for TDM. Please read Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support , it will answer your questions.

Portege M800-105 - HDMI output driver for XP?

Hi,
I've got a question wich belongs to the HDMI output.
I have put Windows XP Home on my Portege with all driver from the Toshiba support page but my HDMI out does not works.

Hi
As far as I know this is a Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver.
Im not a M800 owner but Ive got a U400 Satellite with HDMI output and installed XP.
To be honest I didnt notice any yellow exclamation marks in my device manager but I installed the Intel High Definition Audio HDMI driver from the Intel page

Maybe this site will help you
But note; some notebook features are not available in Win XP but only running Vista!

HDMI output doenst work

Hi,
I have a z930 ultrabook and im dying to get the hdmi output work.
It works fine when i connect to a TV.
However, doesnt work at all when i connect it to a VGA screen and use the VGA to HDMI converter.
I tried to use it on a normal laptop, works fine.
Is it because my laptop wont take any converter or what?
P/s: I need to use 3 screens at work so that's why i need to use the hdmi socket. The other VGA socket works just fine
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it

This HDMI connection still does not work. It only shows on the TV not on both. I have spoken to Toshiba Software and they have a fix which are some special tools at a one off charge of £84. They say the problem is to do with the HDMI only sending at 30 Hz and the TV being at 60Hz. They also say the fix will provide mirroring as the resolution of the TV and Encore are not compatible. As I only paid £177 for Encore I am reluctant to pay such a high amount. They also advised that you must be connected with the mains adaptor because the battery is not powerful enough to sustain the signal. My laptop works fine and I have a new HDMI cable for Encore.
Any further thoughts?

Hello
The HDMI output of my tablet AT200 doesn't work with any TV set.
My AT 200 tablet is under ICS.
I tried both HDMI configurations : full screen and video window. No effect at all.
I have red the post of denis48 and the response of MasterG and tried his propositions with no success
Is there somebody to help me please ?

Hdmi output not found under playback in the control panel

I am trying to get sound to go through my tv with my HDMI cable. I looked in the control panel under sound - playback. I do not see the option of the hdmi output. I have right clicked on the speaker and clicked disabled and it still does not come up.
I have idt high definition audio codec driver on my computer. Is it compatible?
I have also tried to connect an rca cable to the headphone jack and hook it to the tv like that and sound still didn't work?
Do you have any suggestions?

Hi again tfinley,
It is good to hear back from you!
Since you have updated all of the original drivers on your system, and your notebook still does not display an HDMI audio option, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point when this option was available. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HDMI output not working with AT 200 under ICS

Hello,
I connected the HDMI output to a Sony KDL 32 E 5500. It simply does not work.
The same TV HDMI input works fine with a DVD player.
The AT 200 tablet is under ICS (upgrade in France).
I tried both HDMI configurations : full screen and video window.
Should I send it back for repair ?

Hi
There are two outputs: Mirror and video area only.
Mirror:
External device copies the image on the tablet screen
Video area only:
The external display device shows the playback when open a multimedia
But You should firstly check the Android Settings:
Under the option Screen you will find the option HDMIO video mode
Tap this to switch between the HDMI video output mode.
You could also try to connect the HDMI device under following conditions:
- Tablet is turned on
- Tablet is completely turned off
- when you connect TV or external monitor to HDMI port, then display output is set to HDMI
- when you plug and replug the cable, wait at least 5 sec before you replug the HDMI cable.
