Audio Driver Update, Will not play audio via HDMI cable now...

I just did a driver update for the realtek audio on my Y70 touch. When I plug the HDMI cable into the receiver (TV & speakers), it will still transfer the image to the TV and reformat the screen, but now the audio will not play unless I make the room speakers the default audio instead of the laptop speakers... That is just a real PITA to keep switching the default every time I wanted to do something on the big screen with my computer. Any advice on how to fix that? Preferably without rolling back the driver that was 130MB+ of a download & install that required to restarts to apply. Thanks, Joe

I haven't had mine long but I always have to do that with my tower system. (switch playback device for sound). I played a movie on the Z70 last night and go audio without doing anything (so it is different) but the sound level was low even though I checked the outputs were set to 100% HDMI audio required I turn up the sound at the TV end a lot to hear it. I figure I am missing something but did not want to spend the time troubleshoot, rather tha watch the Netfix movie.

No audio thru HDMI cable post-upgrade to 10.8.5

Used App Store yesterday to update OS X, Mtn Lion to 10.8.5 on my 2012 MBP. Since then I cannot get audio to play on my TV connected via HDMI cable thru the Thunderbolt/mini display port. It worked fine under 10.8.4. Have tried it on two different TVs, both relatively new w/o success. Checked Sound panel of System Extensions, of course. Using latest VLC update to play .mp4 and .avi files, and Firefox for USTVnow.com programming. (I live in México.) Any suggestions?

You sir, are awesome! I've just ran Repair Permissions on my machine and my audio seems to be working better now too. I've just been able to put my Mac Mini to sleep and when I've then woken it up, the audio would play as normally. Prior to this, when I was waking it up, the Audio wouldn't play. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Fingers crossed it continues to work!

No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system. I have a hard wire ether net connected. I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver. But I am not hearing audio. I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe) It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
Am I on the right track? I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection. I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
My LG BlueRay player works fine. My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
I don't know what "linear PCM" is. All the specs on this 2004 system are here:

If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
Have done all this. Still no audio

How can I connect my Powerbook or iPad Retina via HDMI cable to 4K digital video camera to be a "control monitor"

That won't work with the iPad, unless maybe there's a "control monitor" app somewhere.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
the TV: LG Smart tv

The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
The times when the query is sent are:
• at Startup
• at wake from sleep
• when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
• when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

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.

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."

The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
Kind regards,
erico

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.

How to connect iPad to the tv via HDMI cable

we have a HDMI cable and an adapter for the iPad but it still won't connect, it isn't the cable or the tv as it works with other devices

I myself made the experience that the adapter set-up causes a lot of trouble. After the last iOS update it stopped working for me and could not be reactivated. I almost tried everything but I couldn't make it work again. I bet that in some years the video-out option over lightning will be cut-off completely. My solution: I got an Apple TV and am now streaming all my content via wifi (found a good tutorial here). Sold my Lightning adapter on ebay. The Apple TV isn't actually that much more expensive but got some nice features. Works great with my iPad and I should have bought it right away But please, Apple, if you don't want us to use the Lightning adapter then just don't offer it at all...

HT4241 How do I get an Epson EX5210 to display using the HDMI mini display port adapter so I can see 1080p downloaded movie from iTunes? It won't recognize the display via hdmi cable and adapter!

Please help! I've tried everything to get this dang thing to display a downloaded movie from itunes on my epson EX5210 lcd projector via a HDMI cable plugged into a minidisplay port adapter. I am no expert and have no idea what to do!

It's all in the manual... starting on page 26...
USB seems to work as well. Tried that?
By the way, this dang thing has "only" 768 physical pixels vertically, so "1080p" won't be visible anyway, and scaling will take place. Hope you won't be diappointed. All specs including resolutions here.
