Newest standard HDMI cable. No video, hear audio

I have an AppleTV and purchased a new (current standard) HDMI Cable. For some reason, I can get video (tv says no signal) but I hear audio when using the remote (the beeps). Anyone else experience this issue?

What TV are you using? Is the cable secure? Have you tried different ports? Are you able to try on a different TV?

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

Mini DVI to HDMI cables- Will I get audio on TV

If I hook up a mini DVI to HDMI adapter to an HDMI cable and run it from my MacBook to my plasma TV, can I get video & audio without using the optical digital audio port?

Hi ypw: Good question indeed. I checked my Plasma (LG) there doesn't appear to be a separate audio input associated with the HDMI inputs. I seem to recall some posts on here pointing to the separate audio solution, but had never tried to verify.
I might try with my Samsung plasma TV at home.
I thought that the general idea of using the DVI to HDMI converter was just to use it like one would use a typical monitor without audio. Since HDMI already has digital audio and typically comes from sources (tuners, converter boxes, video players) with audio, I don't think there would generally be an option to use analog audio, although it shouldn't be hard to include that option.
I've seen a few things like converters that take component video and analog audio as inputs, with a single HDMI output. I don't know if anyone anticipated blending a different audio source when the source is already HDMI.

Hooking iPad to HDMI TV, no video, just audio. Any tips?

Original iPad. Keynote presentations show up. Just no video.
TIA

Dave, I looked up the official specs for the cable and says it is supposed to work with original iPad. I could not get this cable to work at all after trying for hours before returning it. My iPad couldn't output anything from the Digital video cable. No video or audio. Had it hooked up to a Toshiba HDTV via HDMI. No joy. I wonder if Netflix app outputs to the HDMI because I got signal from both component cable, although it was pretty badly chopped up and get perfect signal from the VGA cable. The Apple video app wasn't working either with the digital video cable. Maybe bad day a far as perhaps I got two bad cables in a row? I don't know. Just know these did not work for me and assumed would not work for any original iPad user.

No audio through HDMI cable when listening to audio tracks but ok with vids

Please Help!!
Ok I hooked up my HP to my Samsung 1080p hdtv through an HDMI cable. My computer displays fine on the TV, the visualizer in ITunes shows just fine, but the audio only comes out of the speakers on my laptop when playing a regular music track. When it plays one of the bonus music videos on the same album, audio and video both play. When I play the songs in any other interface, ie windows media player and HP quick play, audio tracks play fine through HDMI. So this has to be something with ITunes. Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Wouldn't you know it, just figured it out. You have to make sure that itunes is not loaded before hooking up the HDMI cable. So,
turn off itunes,
hook up the HDMI cable,
(go to sound [control panel] and make sure that HDMI has the checkmark next to it),
load itunes,
enjoy.

Mini Display Port To HDMI Cable Not Working?

Dear members,
i have a mid 2010 13" macbook pro which i have been using a mini display port to HDMI cable which also carries audio for for years now.
I went to use it last night and have to pull the cable out and plug it in a few times to get it to work.
Tonight it just wont work at all no matter how many times i pull the cable out and plug it in again!
Before i use to just connect it and boom, screen would go off then on and it would also mirror on to my TV.
My TV is a 32" Toshiba TV, i tested the HDMI ports, working fine. The mini display port to HDMI cable works fine on my 42" TV downstairs.
Any one know of a fix for this?
Thanks.

Making QtWebkit support HTML5 video and audio

For those who don't know, HTML5 enables most current browsers to play videos and audios without the need of any plugin. QtWebkit supports this feature, so browsers using it such as Rekonq and Arora should support it too. However on Arch Linux this does not work outside of the box.
I've tried to make this work and made a little progress, and I'm wondering if anyone has made similar attempts, have suggestions, or are willing to try this out. What I've done basically is to compile Qt with Phonon, and then remove the Phonon files when building the package, so that it uses the Phonon that comes with KDE. I included the PKGBUILD below, and you just need to copy the extra/qt directory from abs, and override the PKGBUILD or apply the patch.
I also installed phonon-vlc-qt from AUR, which according to this post contains some fixes to support HTML5 video/audio. However neither this nor the default gstreamer backend works for me. With vlc the vidoe doesn't play, and with gstreamer the browser crashes. To try different backends for Phonon, open KDE's System Settings - Multimedia - Backends, and use the Prefer and Defer buttons.
Some links for testing HTML5 video and audio:
http://html5test.com Only uses JavaScript to ask the browser if it supports the feature. What I've done does make these tests pass.
http://html5video.org
http://youtube.com/html5 Join the beta, and then open some youtube videos, and look for HTML5 in the player's control bar

Use a minidisplay/HDMI cable for video:
http://www.cnaweb.com/6-mini-displayport-male-to-hdmi-male-cable.aspx?gclid=CMbn pNem57wCFRQS7AodzDQACg
A 2009 MBP does not support audio via HDMI so you will have to tap the Audio Output port. Use a 3.5 mmRCA plugs and tap the RCA audio inputs on the TV with a cable such as this:

Live broadcast feed on byu.tv does not work--I signed in, but there is no video nor audio feed.

During all five Sundays during last month, January of 2011, the live broadcast feed, during the live broadcast of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's weekly program of "Music and the Spoken Word" from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Mountain Standard Time--both streaming video and audio--after my signing in to byu.tv's live broadcast site, worked. Starting the first Sunday of February, 2011, which was February 7th, however, and SINCE then, I have not been able to get their live broadcast feed to work, nor at the time of the Tabernacle Choir's live weekly broadcast, nor at any other time.

Help using a mini display port to HDMI cable with MacBook Air and TV

Hi, Apple gurus. I need help setting up my MacBook Air to my Vizio TV using a mini display port to HDMI cable that I just purchased on Amazon.
And here's info about my MacBook Air:
In the Amazon reviews, someone posted the following how-tos, which aren't working for me:
1. Plug in both ends, mini display port on your macbook and the HDMI on any available port on your LCD.
2. Go to upper left Apple menu and scroll down to system preference. Or use your FINDER from the dock, go to applications, then system preference.
3. Click on Displays
4. Click on DETECT DISPLAY
5. A similar screen pops up with name of your LCD, mine says SONY LCD, click on ARRANGEMENT
6. Click the box that says MIRROR DISPLAYS.
7. Go back into system preferences and go to SOUNDS which is located under HARDWARE.
8. Click on OUTPUT, then select HDMI, which should be listed next to your LCD name.
I ran into trouble at step #4. My MacBook Air doesn't list the option of "detecting display." I do, however, have the box mentioned in step #6, "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."
Regarding step #8, HDMI didn't appear in the list — I only see "internal speakers."
So, what am I doing wrong? Or, did I buy the wrong cable?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Or you need to get an appropriate adaptor. The Griffin adaptor sold on Apple's Online Store will work with a standard HDMI cable.

I want to connnect my early 2012 MBP to my LG HDMI. I have the HDMI cable. What connector do I need for the laptop?

Please give me the name of the connector for the laptop. Is it a "display port"?

Note that you'll find two alternatives: one that has a TB plug at one end and a little box with a female HDMI jack at the other or a cable that has male TB and HDMI plugs at both ends. First one gives you the flexibility of using a standard HDMI cable of whatever length you need, at an extra cost. Second simplifies things and eliminates one connection (and possible point of failure), but may limit how far away you can place the computer from the display.

Does the mini displayport able to transfer audio and video to an external monitor (example: a tv) using a 2011 13" MacBook Pro with an hdmi cable?

I was wondering this, because I want to hook up my 2011 MacBook Pro to a external monitor (TV) using an hdmi cable. This would be heplful before I buy a mini displayport to hdmi adapter, and then maybe find out that the mini displayport might not transfer audio, only video.

Yes, min Displayport supports audio and video for the 2011 MBP 13" via HDMI.

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

Hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it philips 52 tv via hdmi cable and get video but no audio

Hi I have a hp hdx 16t laptop, hooked it up to philips 52 inch LED tv via an hdmi cable and get video on tv but no audio. Only sound from laptop, My tv is set to computer hdmi 1 and all drivers up tp date. I have goolged numerous solutions and none have worked. If anybody has the time, a solution would be just great.. jd.

If you have the the video drivers installed for your notebook's chipset and the discrete video module then you should see something similar to the folowing image. This is on my loaner HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea. When I connect the notebook to my Philips HDTV the operating system switches to HDMI audio after I direct the video to the TV with the function keys on the notebook.

Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio? U

Does the HDMI cable carry both video and audio?
If so what is the purpose of the separate optical audio connection?
Just a little confusion setting the Apple TV Up with my AV receiver.
TIA.

You would use both HDMI and optical by connecting the former to a TV and the latter to a receiver that doesn't have an HDMI input so that you could play the audio through your stereo system.
You can use the HDMI alone, typically directly to the TV or through an A/V receiver, as HDMI does carry both video and sound.
For the year prior to the disastrous 4.4 updates a couple of weeks ago, you could use optical alone to add AirPlay music capabilities to your stereo system, so that you could stream music from iTunes and devices like the Touch and iPhone to your stereo. The 4.4 update broke that capability, requiring the use of HDMI for no reason. Lots and lots of people have been complaining about that bug, as it effectively bricks the Apple TV for anyone who bought it for this purpose but can't use the HDMI connection.

My mac mini won't connect to my Sylvania HDTV...I've tried HDMI cables and VGA and no video is shown but I hear the sounds??

NO VIDEO

Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection
Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's newer Mac lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
The problem can often be solved by using an HDMI to Component Video adapter. Many believe that Component Video will give you a better picture than HDMI without any of the hassles of HDCP.
As a test, try watching a DVD. DVDs have fewer copy protection protocols.

Newest standard HDMI cable. No video, hear audio
