Registers as HDMI sound output?

Hi, I am using a Macbook Pro 13 in Retina. I have been using an HDMI cord to plug sound in, but after disconnecting the HDMI cord... my Mac still is registering the HDMI cord as the primary sound output?
There is no sound even when I plug the HDMI cord now. I have restarted the computer multiple times. Help!

Try starting in Safe Mode and resetting the SMC and PRAM

HDMI sound output problem with gtx670

Hello again!
I have recently purchased a brand new Samsung TA550 LED monitor to use with my Mac Pro desktop. My Pro posesses a GTX 670 graphics card with (obviously) an HDMI output channel. The thing is, when i plug the hdmi cable on the card and on the monitor and configure the monitor for the appropriate video settings, there is no audio. Then I go to the system preferences ----- sound------ output, and there are no options for hdmi or my tv/monitor.
Does anyone know whats goin on?
Thanks

It is flashed? or it is a straight PC card. And while there is support (you probably want to check other threads and sites and wait a day to upgrade to 10.8.3) some PC cards will not act and behave the same as say under Windows.
I would contact MacVidCards (ebay and MacRumors forum) and see if he can flash it or knows more.

2010 mac mini hdmi sound output

Hi,
i have following audio setup via hdmi of my mac mini:
mac mini -> yamaha rx-v 665 -> philips tv
If only the receiver is turned on i have it as display and hdmi audio output device with 8-ch sound output. But as soon as i turn on my tv, my mac mini switches the sound output to my tv with only 2-ch sound output.
Anyone an idea how to prevent switching my mac mini to the tv sound output?
thx

I am trying to get my Mac Mini (2010) to use the speakers I have connected for my Samsung 40" TV through my Yamaha receiver as well. I connected to the TV to my Mini via HDMI thinking it would take care of video AND audio, but I cannot get the audio to function. Do I need to connect from the headset port to my receiver? If so, into which port?
My dream of making the mini and TV combo is taking a hit.

Disable HDMI sound output, mouse

Hello,
I have two little problems and I think they doesn't deserve their own thread:
1. When I start my laptop with HDMI cable from my external display plugged in, it is recognized as sound output even the display does not have any.
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VC Analog [ALC269VC Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
and
aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
works fine.
aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
of course doesn't play anything.
It is also taken as primary sound output for every app - chrome (youtube eg.) or vlc... Is there a way how I can disable this behaving? When I boot without HDMI plugged in and then i connected to laptop, everything works fine (primary is my ALC269VC. Only reboots helps.
2. I'm using USB A4 tech mouse :

When I boot laptop with USB plugged in, mouse is not responding (even it is recognized by lsusb). I have to plug it out and then plug it in. Then it works.
Thank you for your help

No HDMI sound output to TV

I've tried looking around for help on this, but nothing seems to solve the problem. Long story short...when I bought my Droid Bionic a few days ago, I also bought an HDMI cable for the phone. When I plugged in the phone to my Sony television, I got great video but no sound. I believe I've tried everything to get the sound to work(the tv's HDMI output is used by my PS3 and there's nothing wrong with that sound). Did I perhaps buy a cheap generic cable or am I missing something in the phone's configuration? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

One last thing to note; shortly after my last response, I took my bionic into the other room and plugged it into my 32 inch Samsung flat screen TV(only about a year old). It work on the first try, which leads me to believe that my 5 year old Sony rear projection television may not work with this phone when it comes to sound. That rules out a bad hdmi cable. Too bad, because I'd rather play Angry Birds on a 50 inch screen than a 32 inch screen. Oh well, I'll just have to make the sacrifice for now. Thanks again!!!

HDMI Sound Output

I am using a Samsung TV as a 2nd monitor connected with HDMI, and my sound will output ONLY through the television even though I have an external device (Apogee Quartet) selected in sound preferences. Any tips?
I am using a mid 2014 13inch Macbook Pro with Yosemite.
Thanks

Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

A little help for HDMI sound output.

I have an HP Pavilion HPE Series. Pavilion H8-1214 PC
I bought an HDMI cord several months back, to hook up my TV as a second monitor (like for watching movies) and worked fine for some time up until last night when when I tried to update my drivers (like graphics) since it seemed like on certain sites or games it was slow or unresponsive (like facebook games). Now I can't get the audio to work for my TV (the HDMI output) as you can see in the screen shot I took.
http://puu.sh/9SZOT/ab1c31984d.png
I have tried returning to an older restore point - that helped temporarily until I turned my computer on today and realized I still had that problem. I have tried uninstalling that particular driver and reinstalling it - doesn't help, tried disabling and re-enabling - doesn't help.
The only way it seems to work is when I turn the TV on first and then restart my PC, but that is kind of a hassle since when I want to watch a show or movie I have to restart instead of just turning it on and setting TV as "default device" in "Playback Devices" like I did before.
Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks in advance.

Why does the hdmi sound out stop working once I start using eyetv?

I upgraded to Lion and now I have a few problems. I use the Elgato EyeTV to record television on my Mac Mini. I have been using it for a few years. Now once I watch something on my EyeTV the hdmi sound output stops working and I have to reboot to be able to hear audio from iTunes or anything other then EyeTV. Why is this happening and when will there be an update to fix it?

There were numerous audio issues with OSX 10.6.8 that
were carried over into Lion and not resolved. Issues
with EyeTV was just one of them. May want to check
the Snow Leopard forum for workarounds, if any for your case.

No HDMI Audio Output for DV6-6100

My HDMI sound output worked fine until a few weeks ago when it stopped working. The picture will show up on my TV but the sound will play through the laptop speakers. After looking through forums, I checked both my device manager and the sound page under the control panel and tried to make sure it was not something simple. My computer is the HP DV6-6100 which is the quad edition. I run Windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks!

Hello sillygoosetime,
Please take a look at this document, which provides troubleshooting steps that I hope will help resolve your HDMI sound issue.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Help with sound output via HDMI

My sound output via HDMI suddenly stopped worked to my TV set. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC. When I go to sound control panel for sound output, the setting is on Headphones. When I try to change it to SV420XVT1A (the tv) it immediately jumps back to headphone. I also tried a different HDMI cable to a different HDMI port on the tv. This just started after the Mac Mini had been turned off for a week. I'm using Lion and it's an 8GB Intel Core 2 Duo. Any suggestions?

I actually discovered this answer about 5 minutes after I posted the question. Thanks a lot for your help!! Funny thing is that it had worked all along with something plugged in the headphone jack but suddenly stopped working. Again, thanks!

Is there a way to force A Mini to recognize the HDMI as a sound output.

Is there a way to force the Mac mini to recognize the HDMI as a sound output? I have the HDMI going through a matrix switch and the video works fine but the audio is not recognized. My Apple TV has no problem with both audio and video through the same set up to a tv.

Some general checking:
Open System Information found in Applications->Utilities.
On the left side under hardware, click Audio. In the right
pane, Expand items if necessary to reveal the contents and
see if there is an HDMI listing. If so, click on it to get additional
info.
Also, have you connected the Mini directly to the TV? Narrows down
if it is actually the Mini or just how the Mini is working with the
switch.
Another possibility is that there is a power up sequencing issue.
Ran into a situation with my Yamaha receiver, Mini, and Samsung TV
that if things were not powered in the right sequence I could only
get two channel audio and sometimes only internal audio. With my
setup, I needed to power up the TV (waiting for it to come up completely
showing the searching for signal box), power up the Yamaha, then finally
power up the Mini. Also, after all this, if anything was switched, I would
end up having to reboot the Mini to get audio the way it should be.

Having problems choosing sound output through HDMI to my television, any one any ideas?

Though listed in the sounds options, I can't seem to choose a sound output to my TV through HDMI. I have sound output to headphones via the headphone socket or usb, but when I highlight to the HDMI TV option it justs returns to the top of the list, any ideas anyone?

About alsa dmix, and for the record:
On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz, the following are my finding about
quality/cpu when mixing two streams at 44khz:
a snippet from my .asoundrc
#converter "samplerate_best" # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
#converter "samplerate_medium" # almost perfect: 6%cpu
#converter "samplerate" # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
#converter "samplerate_linear" # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
#converter "samplerate_order" # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler
Here is the reference topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942724
I may be wrong, but in an opensource world (code reusing), i really doubt pulseaudio could lead to better quality/cpuuse tradeoff.
Pulseaudio, being just another layer atop of alsa, could only lead to higher cpu usage.

No sound output on installing a hdmi support graphics card on HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor

when i inserted a HDMI support graphics card on g-force nvidia on my HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor no audio output was availabe i need a support for this problem

You will have to switch the sound Playback from Speakers to the Digital Audio output.
Disconnect the speakers from the default output at the rear of your PC. Sound will be output through the HDMI cable to the device it is connected to if the video device has HDMI sound capability. If you have it connected to an HDTV it should not be an issue. All you will have to do is use the TV's menu to accept the computer input instead of cable.

Mini Display Port to HDMI sound problem

I have an iMac 11, 2 (MacOS X, 10.6.8). The Mini Display Port is supposed to be able to carry sound, (using a Monoprice Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Converter with Audio, and HDMI cord supporting 3D, and Audio Return.) I am playing downloaded movies with VLC, which works fine on the computer. When I try to burn DVD disc using Toast Titanium, I get video, but no sound. So, I figure I can watch movies on my Vizio 42" TV screen with the MiniDisplayPort to HDMI cord. I learned that to use the MiniDisplayPort I have to go to click the box for Mirror Display. In System Preferences--- Sound---- Output Tab, the only two choices are: Headphones...... Headphone Port, and E3D420VX....... HDMI, neither of which seem to help "push" sound through the MiniDisplayPort.
So, I give up and watch the movie on the Vizio screen (through the HDMI cord), while listening to sound on the little computer speakers. After watching a couple of movies, and then not doing anything for a few minutes, all of a sudden the movie starts replaying off the play list, and lo and behold..... sound coming through the TV speaker system!!! (So, I know the HDMI cable is capable of carrying audio.)
If any one can help me figure out how to get sound through the HDMI cord all the time, it would be greatly appreciated!
