No sound when HDMI lead plugged in

Hi just a quick question which is driving me mad. When i plug the hdmi lead into the tv I still get sound through the laptop but not through the tv. Can anyone help with this small problem Thanks Bob

Do you have a case on? if so have you tried connecting the headphones without a case?
do the head phones work when connected to other devices?
Have you tried un plugging and plugging the headphones in a couple of times?
With the headphones unplugged and you change the volume, dose it display "ringer" or "headphones"?  What about when the headphones are plugged in?

  • Satego X200 - No Sound when HDMI connection is used

    Hi,
    I got my Satego X200 a year ago and since yesterday I am trying to use the HDMI interface to connect it to a LCD TV. I get a brilliant picture but no sound at all. Is there anything I am not taking into consideration? I've googled everything that I could think of but appropriat answers found.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance

    So I am back again with the solution that helped so I hope it will help other users. I did an update on BIOS, Graphic Card and HD Audio. The only thing that really helped was the driver / software update I did on Sound by updating drivers and s/w having downloaded them directly from the Realtek Site. SO I hope this hepls anybody else in the same situation.

  • Sound through hdmi to my tv works but not when watching video online like 4OD

    the sound through hdmi to my tv works with music and videos I have downloaded, but not when watching video online like 4OD and youtube.
    How can I get it to work?

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

    Hi,
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, NVidia or Intel.
    Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv.  Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

  • Mac Mini HDMI into AV HDMI Switch - Lose sound when monitor is shutoff

    I'd like to use the Mac Mini to listen to internet radio and have the display shutoff. I have the Mini's HDMI output cable connected to Yamaha audio video home theater receiver that acts as a HDMI switch from various HDMI inputs (blue ray player, xbox, and mac mini). A single HDMI output from the av receiver goes to my Samsung flat screen TV.
    All works well (I have the system preferences sound option set to hdmi on the Mini) until I shut off the TV. Then the sound that was going to the AV receiver shuts off and the mini switches its sound output back to its internal speaker.
    Can't find a way around it. Appreciate an answer if anyone has one.
    Reading the booklet that came with the Mini regarding HDMI output, it appears that Apple assumes that cable is going directly to a monitor. I'm wondering if the Mini gets a signal that monitor goes off (via the av receiver) the designers didn't factor the av receiver's capability to continue handling the sound.

    When the TV is turned off or disconnected from the Mac, or if you are using an AV Receiver also when the AV Receiver is switched to a different source than the Mac, the result is that the Mac no longer sees a signal on the HDMI interface. The Mac will then deactive the HDMI interface and switch the sound back to the built-in speaker.
    The best solution involves spending money, and is to buy a Gefen HDMI Detective+. This learns the signal from the TV and will keep sending it to the Mac even if the TV is turned off, unplugged or the AV Receiver switches the connection.

  • No sound when I connect my Macbook pro (2012) to TV via HDMI!

    Hi! I have a problem with the sound when I connect my Macbook pro (bought in 2012) to a Phillips HD TV. The strange thing is that it only happens with some videos (specially youtube videos) but the sound works perfectly with films and audio files I have in my computer, and also when I watch TV online (Eurosport player for instance and other similar applications). It's even stranger because it doesn't happen all the time; last week I tried many times to watch some youtube videos and after unplugging the HDMI cable it seemed to work. As I said, with Eurosport player and many films downloaded in my macbook I don't have this problem (sound is ok all the time), and this is why I'm really confused. I suppose it's not a connection problem, otherwise I wouldn't have sound in any video, right? I've tried two different HDMI's cables but nothing has changed. Please, someone help me, as I can't figure out what's happening. Thank you very much!

    Well Im not sure what the fix is for your problem, but can you please open up the sound preference next time you connect the philips tv, and make sure that sound output is set to hdmi out. Then try and play your video's etc and see if they are affected. 
    I can tell you I get a similar problem when, for example, I have a youtube window open and then connect the external display. The youtube video will not sound out through the cable, however if i refresh the window it works. Also the same when I use bluray player on mac, I have to close it and open it again for the sound to output through the external monitor.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I used Mpeg Streamclip last night to take the .mov files to DV, but same thing I put into iDVD and made a disk image. Once all done i opened the image and the videos were there, but no audio.
    This first dvd had 2 of the videos in it the totaled about 90mins. I will try using the higher format. Also with having MPEG streamclip now, I guess I should go back to the .WMV files and try to converting form them? instead of the .mov files.

  • No sound when plugging iPhone Headphones into 2009 13" Macbook Pro

    If I visit the Preferences -> Sound configuration, in the Input tab is shows the microphone activity when I talk into the microphone portion of the ear buds. But there is no sound when playing music. Under both sections, Use audio port for: Headphones with Built-in External Mic.
    It seems like it knows what I plugged in and seams to want to use it correctly, but I just get no sound. I've tried these ear buds in my iPhone and the sound comes out of the ear buds just fine.
    I've tried another set of ear buds that don't have a mic built in, and those produce sound when plugged into the Macbook Pro and the "Use audio port for" is set to "Sound Output." This seems to be a problem with the earbuds that come with the new iPhones. They are the ear buds that also have a microphone in-line.
    Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'd really appreciate any help. I've played around with some setting to try and fix this. I've gone to audio midi setup and changed from 2-bit 16 to 2 bit 32 while the headphones are plugged in thinking that might have solved the problem after reading multiple forums, but that didn't help either.
    I have Lion installed. 10.7.3. And it's a 2009 Macbook Pro 13" with only one external audio port.

    Not sure about your iMac problem, but from reading about 16 different websites, this is a very widespread problem. I don't know how you ever got it to work, but everyone with a new 13" MBP with the combined audio port is saying that you have to use one of those special cables that has more "rings" around it like the iphone headphones that have a built in mic to use line in. Read this article http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1389284&highlight=audio+in+from+ste reo where there are a whole host of people complaining about this. Apparently there are some aftermarket parts you can get to solve this, but if I was you i'd make a trip to an apple store if thats possible, or pick up the phone and call them and confirm whether or not this should work. It seems they are advertising line in, and that is not possible without a combination cable. Either way I hope this helps you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help than this. Definitely opens my eyes about a combination port though. Please post back with your results, as I am considering buying a macbook air, and would like to know what i'm getting into if i'm using a combination port.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

    I don't think the Mac routes sound through HDMI, or else it's a TV issue.
    Use a stereo mini to RCA breakout cable.
