No sound on my tv using hdmi cable

connected my macbook to my HD LCD TV and mirrored the screen but not getting any sound out of the tv. The tv is not showing up as an output in the sound settings. How do i get sound to come from the TV?

from bango thats interesting...
The Apple HDMI adapter(actually 3rd party) is for HDMI rev. 1.3 only and earlier made flatscreens are rev1.1or so. I purchased a 42" flatscreen and my highest resolution is by a DVI(Digital Video Interface) which requires separate audio, have the Apple DVI adapter also so when I go to a friend's pad or a presentation to make, I'm all set.
Let 'er rip and
cheers...

No sound on TV when using HDMI cable from MAC

Hi
Anyone any ideas why I cant get any sound on the TV when I plug the HDMI cable in - It only comes thru on my MBP.
Also, I have to scroll the mouse off screen and grag any windows off screen in order for them to display on the TV .... It must be smething to do with resolution or something...But I cant work it out
Any help gratfully received
Thanks
Emma

To get sound you will have to tap into the audio output port. This will require a 'Y' connector with a compatible plug that fits the port and splitting into the two audio channels with RCA connectors. The image shows a possible type you can use, but you would still need two male/male RCA connector extensions to your TV. A little search on the Internet should enable you to identify the most practical way of connecting audio.
The ideal set up is to use the extension shown with a Y connector with male out put connectors.
Ciao.

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.

I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog. Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
DVI
Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
Analogue
There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

My MacBook Pro is not able to detect Toshiba LCD TV using HDMI Cable

Hello,
I am recently having an issue of connecting my MacBook Pro with Toshiba LCD 32 Inch i tried many troubleshooting scenarios but nothing came up on my LCD,
My Mac OS 10.6.6 with the latest updates from Apple, i tried to connect my Mac to Sony Pravia LCD Screen and it's work fine but not the case in TOSHIBA !,
Please advise me if it's something related to my TV.
Waiting reply from technical,

Hello Dear,
Thanks for response,
I check the TV Manual and it's support the "Extended display identification data (EDID)" and i already connect my PS3 on the TV using HDMI Cable, but when i connect the MacBook Pro screen flashed and nothing came up on the TV and this why i am trying to understand is it Mac issue or TV one,
Please review the following i copy it from the TV Manual and advise me,
"Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
device and uncompressed digital video from a
DVI device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
programme material in digital from CEA-861-D
compliant consumer electronic devices (such as
a set top box and DVD player with HDMI and DVI
output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i (50 Hz/60 Hz) and 1080p (24/50/60
Hz) high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, and
720p (50Hz/60 Hz (60 Hz: except for E-EDID))
and VGA (VESA 640 × 480 @ 60/72/75 Hz)
signals.
• HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface
• DVI: Digital Video Interface
• HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection
• CEA-861-D compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed digital video
with high-bandwidth digital content protection,
which is being standardized for reception of
high-definition video signals. Because this is
an evolving technology, it is possible that some
devices may not operate properly with the TV.
• E-EDID: Enhanced-Extended Display
Identification
• Acceptable PC signal format:
S-VGA: VESA 800 5 600 @ 56/60/72/75 Hz

W-XGA: VESA 1360 5 768 @ 60 Hz
S-XGA: VESA 1280 5 1024 @ 60/75 Hz
However, these signal formats are converted to
match the number of pixels of the LCD panel.
Therefore, the TV may not display small text
properly.
If you connect this unit to your PC, the
compressed image is displayed in S-XGA mode,
therefore the picture quality may deteriorate and
characters may not be read.

Why can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

WWhy can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.
some people report success with a full factory restore.
Re-boot ipad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. page 128 iPad user manual.
force power down if the above give you trouble.
Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more. Hold until the Apple logo appears.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
   Do a full backup of your device. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

Cannot Connect Pavilion dv6 2020sa laptop to HDTV using HDMI cable

Hi
I have tried to connect my laptop to HDTV using HDMI cable but it just comes up with a 'No Signal' message on TV, any ideas? I have done a search on internet with no joy.
Operating system is Windows 7
TV is 32" LG LCD HDTV

I have been having the same issues trying to connect my Laptop to my TV to use as a DVD player. A normal HDTV cable would not work. I went to Best buy, and found a HDMI cable that said "Laptop to HDMI cable" It was the only HDMI cable out of all of the HDMI that said "Laptop to HDMI". It was also twice the cost, $50.00 for a 10 foot cable. It seems a little to high in price so I am looking for a cheaper one on the web. If I find one, I will post to let you know.

No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable, No sound from the TV when using HDMI cable

I recently purchased HDMI cable and adaptor, so that I can play downloads from my Macbook Air on my TV. There is only sound from the Macbook, not the TV - Do I need as separate cable for sound?

I've got the same issue: when I connect my Macbook Air (2011) to TV via HDMI cable there's no sound through the TV system, only from the Macbook Air. I used to use my older Macbook Pro with the same HDMI adapter and it worked just fine, but not with the Macbook Air it doesn't.
My software is up to date. I tried to select the TV as an output option in sound preferences, but it doesn't yield any results.
Rebooding multiple times doesn't help either.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Apple TV won't connect properly to Sony home theatre system using hdmi cable.

Using an HDMI cable to the port on the home theatre system I can get sound, but the picture is intermittent. It Comes on for 1second, goes of for 10 seconds.
If I connect directly to the TV using the HDMI to DVI-D cable it works, but because I am using a Fujitsu plasmavision it is a monitor only with no speakers.
Would really like to get this to work and don't understand why the video signal is intermittent from the blueray player. Other inputs into the player through the HDMI port work OK (such as a set top box).

Just installed my Vizio SoundBar with my new LG TV & Apple TV 2... The trick to get the Apple TV 2 to send audio to the Soundbar is on the Apple TV Menu under audio change it to 16 bit. Boom it works.

Audio grayed, non-adjustable after using HDMI cable

I have just installed Lion on a 2.66GHz 13in MacBook Pro7,1. After connecting to a TV monitor via the Apple HDMI cable and then disconnecting I am unable to adjust the audio on the internal speaker output. The audio button on the menu bar is grayed out and the physical audio controls show a Ø symbol as unavailable. The device "Internal Speakers" states "The selected device has no output controls". I have rebooted several times to no avail. I have tried various combinations of re-connecting the monitor, rebooting, disconnecting, but there is no way I can get the internal speakers or the volume controls to work.
When I connect an external speaker via the headphone socket the sound settings are resurrected and the audio control button is reinstated.
I have used a late 2010 MacBook Air 11, also running Lion, with the same monitor and same cable but have not experienced the problem.
Can anyone suggest what I might try to get things back to default?

Some HTIB systems only switch HDMI and pass its audio, but don't process the audio. My Yamaha HTIB is an example.
You need to run a separate optical or coaxial audio cable from your sources to the HTIB receiver. I do not reccommend downgrading to component - continue with HDMI, just use it only for video.
In my case:
PS2 to Yamaha optical - since the PS2 doesn't do HDMI and is my only component device, video goes directly to the TV
Cable box to Yamaha is HDMI + coaxial (Yamaha only has two optical inputs)
PC to Yamaha is DVI-to-HDMI + optical (Even if the Yamaha did process HDMI audio, this connection would need the optical cable anyway)
There is an HDMI cable from the Yamaha to the TV. The Yamaha can switch between cable and PC inputs for me. I need to switch inputs on both the TV and the Yamaha for the PS2.

Pavilion g6-1b70us. Picture but no sound from tv when using HDMI. Previously worked no problem.

I have a pavilion g6-1b70us that I am trying to hook up to my tv with an hdmi cable. I get a picture, but no sound. This previously worked with no problem. When I pull up my sound playback settings the only options are speakers and headphones. When I pull up my devices, the Samsung tv is there, but is described as a "generic monitor" (thought that was weird). I have uninstalled and reinstalled my intel graphics driver and IDC audio driver but still no sound through TV. Also, I will mention that in under control panel>devices and sounds there is a link to SRS Premium Sound. As you can see in the picture below, the Samsung device shows up, but it is grayed out and cannot be selected. Can someone please help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well in case anyone is interested I fixed the issue (only took me 12 hours to figure out, lol). Apparently even though the Samsung tv was not appearing in the sound playback options, you can still right click in the blank area and an enable/disable option will appear.

Sound dosen't work when hdmi cable is in?

when i have Hdmi type cable in for monitor sound does not come out of laptop

Hi @NigeTay66 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook not getting sound with the HDMI cable connected. Here is a fix when speakers not working Windows from Microsoft.
1. Right click speaker icon (lower right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
If you close the all the screens then reopen them this should adjust the settings.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks. I would need the model number.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please respond with which Operating System you are running:

I have a dynex 32" lcd tv and a pavilion dv6 and cant view the laptop on the tv using hdmi cables

trying to view netfilx my computer has windows 7 when i plug in the hdmi cable in the computer screen goes black and there is no signal on tv

I'm having the exact same problem. I have a Pavilion dv6 running Windows 7, and I have a Dynex TV I was planning to use as an external monitor. The HDMI cable didn't work; as soon as I connected the computer to the TV using the cable, the computer screen went gray and no further commands would work. TV said 'No signal'. Did you ever resolve your problem? Should I try a VGA cable?
Note that I connected the same tv to a different computer using the same HDMI cable and *SNAP* it came on instantly.
