MSI 94GT MD 512 no audio to TV via HDMI

Greetings,
I have an MSI 94GT MD512 (aka n9400GT MD 512) video card installed in an Asus N4L-VM DH motherboard, connected to a Sony Bravia KDL-26L5000 TV via HDMI. Video card S/PDIF internal cable connected to S/PDIF Out and Ground connectors on motherboard. Video works okay, but I get no audio signal via the HDMI. (I can get analog sound via a Y-cable connected to earphone output on computer and RCA audio input on TV.)
NVIDIA driver is 195.62 (8.17.11.9562), NVIDIA control panel shows Sony TV monitor set for HDMI-HDTV (Audio enabled), Windows 7 control panel sound setting is for Digital Audio S/PDIF as default, audio indicator on taskbar indicates sound on S/PDIF.
Suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Rick

I guess I solved my own problem (by inferring the answer from another post on this forum). Although video can go simultaneously through the HDMI and DVI ouputs, it appears that for digital sound to work only one of those connectors can be connected. With only the HDMI connected to the TV (DVI physically disconnected from the card), I get both video and sound to the TV.

MSI 8800 GT 512 MB compatible with Windows XP

Can somebody give me an assist on this. I am planning on buying an MSI GeForce 8800GT 512 MB
Video card. Newegg has these in stock but the spec only indicated Directx 10 support not
DirectX 9 or 9c support. Is the card downward compatible? Anyone running this card under
windows XP.
Like everyone else I need this upgrade to run Crysis demo. With my existing card and
everything overclocked I can run crysis demo at low res with low settings with strange
artifacts now and then.

Don't worry, found this on anandtech.com:
The transition to PCIe 2.0 won't be anything like the move from AGP to PCIe. The cards and motherboards are backwards and forwards compatible. PCIe 1.0 and 1.1 compliant cards can be plugged into a PCIe 2.0 motherboard, and PCIe 2.0 cards can be plugged into older motherboards. This leaves us with zero impact on the consumer due to PCIe 2.0, in more ways than one.
URL: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3140&p=4
and this on tomshardware.com:
Finally, the GeForce 8800GT introduces PCI Express 2.0 support, which will double the bandwidth (moving up to a bi-directional 8 GB/s) with an X38 motherboard. This won't change anything from a gaming point of view, but could be more interesting for workstations, professional software or applications using Nvidia's GPGPU CUDA. It remains, of course, fully compatible with PCI Express 1.0.

Not sure that I have selected the correct forum. Hope my questions are clearly stated.
Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter. TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices). It does not show Mail or Safari menus. System preferences' display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution. I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access. Is there any way to make this work for us? We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web. Do we need Apple TV to do this? Or is it not possible with our old iMac? My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor.
Thank you

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time, you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

Macbook Pro to HDTV via HDMI no audio with video

So I plugged in my MBP to my tv via HDMI this weekend and for some reason I was getting no audio when trying to watch a video online. I tried multiple websites to see if that was the issue, but nothing seemed to work. I was using Chrome but didn't try any other browsers. The video played but I would get no audio through my tv. The kicker was that when I played a song from iTunes, the audio would work just fine through the tv. Has anyone ran into this problem?

Morning kirstenpolley,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you know the hdmi cable is good.
You may want to try a different input channel or a different display adapter.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

Outputting Lossy Dolby Digital & Lossy DTS 5.1 audio via HDMI - Dv7-4074 Win 7 64bit ATI HD 5650

Hi Everybody
I'm trying to output lossy DD & DTS 5.1 soundtracks via HDMI to my HDTV then to my AV receiver via optical. Two channel LPCM works fine. I checked for updated drivers for both the ATI HD 5650 AV Card and Win 7; says both are current versions. I'm using the HP MediaSmart program for blu-ray/dvd playback with Windows 7 64bit. Any help would be appreciated.
Steve

Thanks for the quick reply.
I don't even have the HDMI-Passthrough option in Mediasmart--Audio. It won't give it to me.
In Win-Control Panel-Hardware & Sound It says ATI-HDMI output limited to 2 Channel only no compressed formats available.
Is there a driver/setting for Win 7 or ATI or Mediasmart to work through this issue. I know there is some small change i need
to make for this computer to be setup.
One would think that to configure this "entertainment" laptop wouldn't be so frustrating.....
I've got no problem with my connection from the HDTV to my AV Receiver. I currently have X360-viaHDMI-HDTV-viaOptical-AVReciver. The HDTV has a optical output for bitstreaming lossy multichannel audio and 2 channel lpcm. I'm only looking
for lossy multichannel sound; i know you need hdmi to the recevier for lossless multichannel lpcm/dts master etc.
Mediasmart is version is 4013727
Any additional help will always be appreciated

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.

Audio out options question - HDMI + component?

I have looked thru the manual and forums, but have not seen the answer to my question.
If I hook an ATV to my TV with HDMI, and also use the Right and Left (red and white component) audio out cables to my stereo (which does not have TOS link digital audio capability), will I get sound delivered to BOTH units at the same time? Basically, I'd like sound to go to my TV and my stereo.
I see in the ATV manual that it is possible to use HDMI and digital audio out. DVI video and component audio out, but I need HDMI video/audio AND component audio out.

The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the HDMI cable from the ATV to the TV and then export the sound from the TV with with either RCA, toslink, or digital audio out cables to your stereo. That is what I do at home. I have a DVR cable box, DVD player, and PS3 Blue Ray player and a HD video camera all hooked up via HDMI to a HDMI hub to the TV and then I can switch the stereo from either the TV audio out (all of the above) or the airport express where I stream music to the Stereo. There is no doubt that the sound quality from the BR HDMI cable of the PS3 has a superior sound.
A tech at curcuit city told me there is a difference in sound between, a expensive Monster HDMI cable and the less expensive cables now available on line, but I have not tried a A/B comparison yet, but am planing to do so. $50-60$ vrs. a few dollars on line aftermarket.
Hope this helps.

Audio out + DVI to HDMI Connections

Hey all,
I have a

Objective:
• Connect my macmini with audio support to the HDMI port on the tv.
Question:
• Is there an adapter that takes the audio out and the DVI connector combines it into an HDMI connection so that I can watch and listen to my macmini on the tv?

Media Center Keeps playing audio when connected to HDMI

I have LCD TV connected to may laptop.
The media center keeps playing audio sound when the HDMI sound output is enable.
Laptop: CQ35-214TX
OS: Windows 7

This is one of the BIGGEST reasons why I would want to take my PC and chuck it into the nearest heavily traveled lane of traffic and watch it get completely destroyed by any vehicle that runs over it then go buy a MAC. The idiocy involved in doing such a simple task is revolting.
FIrstly, and in no way am I directing my ire at you specifically, I have already performed almost everything you have listed for me to try... PREVIOUS to me posting this cry for help.
Secondly, I included a screen shot of the sound devices in my first post and indicated that my display driver/device is Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000. Beyond that, I don't know what you are looking for.
Thirdly, and most frustrating, the document you told me to "follow every single word of instruction" (which I have previously done) doesn't even tell me to connect the laptop to the TV. It talks about the different kinds of connections but never actually TELLS me to connect the laptop to the TV and WHEN to do it.
When I connected my laptop to my TV for the first time it never tried to load ANY drivers. HOWEVER, it does show "PANASONIC TV" (the brand of my TV) and the monitor type in the resolution dialog. But it also show no other type of monitor.
The biggest issue I can see is that there is NO DRIVER LISTED FOR THE HDTV AUDIO in the sound devices. Therefore how could it transmit audio via the HDMI cable since it doesn't seem to even recognize it?
I am at my wits end. And I have NO INTENTION OF PAYING SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS WORK!!!! There is NO reason why it should not work upon conection of the HDMI cable.
What the hell is wrong with HP (or any other PC manufacturer - and Microsoft, as well) when the simple task of connecting a laptop to a TV is so complex and convoluted. And, by the way, I am an electrical engineer with multiple degrees... And this doesn't make sense to me!!! For pity's sake, can someone please give me a simple solution to what should be a simple issue??!!

No audio via HDMI (dv9700t CTO)

HP Pavilion dv9700t CTO Entertainment Notebook PC / Windows Vista 64bit
I have set the default audio device to the "Realtek Digital Output" device. I get no sound.
I upgraded the audio drivers from the HP support site. Still no sound via HDMI. (microphone quality was reduced to the point of being worthless)
I upgraded the drivers again with drivers from the Realtek website. Still no sound via HDMI. (I regained microphone functionality)
The reciever that I am trying to connect to indicates that there is no audio signal being sent to it from that source (my laptop). I have even tried connecting directly to the tv. That did not work either.
Its almost as if there was no connection between the audio hardware and the HDMI port.

I also have this problem my laptop is a Pavillion dv6000, when i first got my Sharp LCD every thing worked fine, i had both video & sound now my sound doesn't work. I cant point to exactly when my sound stopped working exactly, but i do let the computer do the regular updates with the HP update service. reading else where http://www.fixya.com/support/t1284552-hdmi_audio_not_appear_installed_hp it appears the problem may have occurred after one of the updates.

5.1 Audio via HDMI

Does the Apple TV support 5.1 audio out via HDMI (either bitstream or PCM)? I have it connected to my Receiver via HDMI (which passes the video to the receivers HDMI out) and I have a few movies from the iTunes store that have 5.1 audio - but the sound is coming out as 2 channels only. Do I need to run the Optical out instead? Is the optical output the only way to get 5.1 audio?
Cheers,
Chris

I think you might be having the same issue I had - essentially there's a handshaking issue between the Apple TV, and the surround sound receiver. The Apple TV will only send the digital signal to the receiver if the receiver and the TV are both switched on before the Apple TV. If you turn things on in the order of:
TV
Receiver
Apple TV (Bring it out of standby)
You should get digital sound! The XBox360 has exactly the same handshaking issue - the same workaround works for the 360 too.

Need help to transfer 5.1 audio via hdmi

Hi, guys!
This is my first post, I would like to apologize for my bad english.
Today I received my new Mini DP to HDMI adapter and, after a little configuration, I was able to make it work properly with my mac.
But, after all my work, I noticed that the audio transfered was only stereo, not 5.1 as my home theater can handle.
So I searched some forums for a bit and noticed that I could try to change my configurations in "audio and midi configurations" (this is a portuguese translation, I'm not sure how is the program's name in english). Once there, I saw a lot of choices for audio via hdmi, like stereo, 5.1, 6.1 etc, but only the first was availabe, all mutichannels were disabled.
Is there any way to make these choices available?
Can this be a limitation of my Mini DP to HDMI adapter?
In the item description, it says that it does transfers "uncompressed audio such as LPCM" and
"compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital(including DTS-HD and Dolby True HD)".
Thanks in advance!
Cheers from Brazil

As far as I know there is no way to carry more than stereo over HDMI.
I know very little about this subject and have no experience with it myself, but I've been aware for some time of this adapter:
http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt51.html
I take the description to mean that 5.1-channel digital audio can be carried by HDMI, and if the mini-Displayport doesn't output an audio signal that rich, the Kanex adapter should be a useful alternative. I've posted the link in reply to many queries in the past, but I don't recall whether or not anyone has posted back to say they've tried the adapter and tell how well it worked for them.

Why can't I get the audio to output over HDMI to my Panasonic TV?

It was working before I upgraded to Lion, but now it doesn't.

Yes. It's my opinion that HDMI is simply flaky. All that HDCP copy protection crap that is carried across the HDMI interface makes HDMI unnecessarily complex. Greedy Hollywood execs impose their bull on a technology that isn't even exclusive to their content, and we all suffer as a result. I've had a lot of problems with HDMI audio - I had to return my Google TV box even though I thought it was an excellent central hub for a media center because it wouldn't pass audio through properly over HDMI. It's a shame the TV manufacturers let Hollywood push them around with this junk. As far as I can tell, all this HDCP stuff only causes problems for consumers, but doesn't deter the professsional content thieves one iota.

Import audio to iMovie via GarageBand

In the 2012 version of iMovie for iOS it was possible to import audio from GarageBand via the Open In menu. This option seems to be broken in the 2014 version. Nothing happens when I get sent from Garageband to iMovie, before I could select which movie project to open the GarageBand song or audio in.
Is this a known bug?
