Sound Output to Sony TV

After upgrading my iMac to OSX 10.8, I have lost the ability to output sound to the Sony TV. It is not listed as an available device. How can I restore it? Must I get a device driver from the Sony support site and install on the iMac?
Thanks so much.

You can inform them via their Mini feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macmini.html
Or their bug reporter:
https://bugreport.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RadarWeb.woa/wa/signIn
It seems audio and video issues are plagueing Mini's on every update/upgrade
in some form or another. It almost seems that the original designers for
that portion are gone and no one really knows how it works anymore.

Sony Xperia m low sound output

The phone has low sound output when connected to external speakers. Can you provide an option to increase the volume gain in the sound enhancements option of the music app..

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.

Can not change sound output. Help Please

Well, i've been digging all the forums lately in web. my problem is, i can't change my 'system' sound output to my sound card which is Native Instruments Audio8 Dj.
Let me explain my problem decently. I do the usual procedure, system preferences > sound > n then select the output. but nothing happens. it is always set on internal speakers or headphone or whatever plugged in to the *Built-in Output*. I try switching from audio-midi setup n that doesn't work as well. The system perfectly recognizes the sound card, i can get output from sound card with applications which have their own output settings. But i cant change the system output. I have the latest version of soundflower loaded(this might be causing the problem who knows), i used many soundcards before(or maybe even ex-drivers?) n they used to work until i updated to snow leopard. I also tried trashing the files in macintosh hd > library > preferences > audio >>
and those files *did not regenerate* after restart(like 10 times), so i had to copy them from my imac.(hehe). i tried resetting pram or nvram.(didn't do any good too)And also i tried trashing soundpref.plist which didn't do me any good neither. Now i need that sound card to give me my system output. I don't need drivers of any other ex-sound cards or whatever. My drivers are up to date. And im pretty sure this ain't an hardware fail.
So, any ideas? Thx.

I am having the exact same problem. I have spoken with Apple Care and they are having my case reviewed by "Engineers," apparently. Its very frustrating as I cannot listen to iTunes or any of my video games through my really nice monitor speakers. FYI, I had this problem without installing Sound Flower, since then I have installed it in the hopes that having something different to select it might work but no changes. If I hear any good news from Apple I will be back to let you know. This seems to be a very rare problem as I have only found one other post about this issue.

The sound output does not work on my ipod

Hi There,
I have an Ipod 4 th generation and the sound output no longer works on any device. I've reset and reinstalled the software but nothing appears to work?
Any ideas please?
Serial number: 9C6463XJV9R
Thanks Chris

If none of the 5 R's helped address the issue, it's likely hardware related.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
As to what exactly is damaged/faulty, no there is no certain way to tell. It could be the iPod's audio chip or something else on the logic board.
Either way you'll need to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party company.

Hi legendary92,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I saw your post regarding the motherboard problems. If the HP service centre has told you that audio port is damaged you will have to replace the motherboard if you want sound. Page 75 of the Maintenance and Service Guide will show you how to replace it. The part number for your motherboard or system board as they are called in notebooks is 683031-501. You can order the part from HP PartsSurfer just search for the part number.

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!

No sound output to TV using Apple dock - video is fine

I'm baffled. I have a new 80GB iPod Classic, a brand new Apple dock, and Apple A/V Component cable. When I watch a video or photo slideshow, everything works great. However, when I want to listen to my iPod's music through my TV's speakers, using the same setup, there is NO sound output to the TV at all. Why would the audio play when watching photos or video, but no sound when all I want is music? Please help!

I haven't personally had this problem, but I believe in order to hear music through your TV speakers, you have to use the headphone port instead of the AV cable.

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.

Sound output channel keeps switching by itself every few seconds

Hey guys, I have this sound output issue with my Macbook pro 2010 September version that every once in a while, the audio output would keep swapping between headphone, digital output and the speakers when NO headphone or digital output or what so ever is actually plugged in. During this time i am unable to adjust sounds, and my menu bar would become very slow to respond (the sound icon and Soundsource application would stop responding during this time). After a while (could be less than 10 minutes or last to about an hour, it varies), it returns back to normal by itself.
I've read many posts on Apple forum about this issue, but i haven't found a suitable solution. Also, I read that for most, when the audio output doesn't work it would usually be a output socket issue that there is a RED light in the socket. But for me, at times it has a RED light, at times, it doesn't, and sometimes the RED light would switch on and off by itself for a couple of times, depending on how long this issue lasts until it returns to its normal state by itself.
I have tried:
1. plugging the headphone into the socket and take it out quickly
2. Downloading Soundsource: i heard that Soundsource has an option of manually adjusting the sound output channel instead of letting the computer switch automatically, but unfortunately I downloaded the latest (2.5) version of the software and it doesn't have that option on my macbook pro.
3. I also tried Cmd + Opt + P + R
The result however is that none of this worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have both and haven't experienced this at all. Very strange. I do get a lot of random channel changes however when I put my iPad on the remote, the cat walks over it or the dog sits on it.
That being said, I don't use the Samsung remote at all for the TV and never have done. I dislike it and find it unresponsive. I use a different remote to change through the available outputs and the Vision remote for Vision and for switching the TV on and off.

Assigning an application to different sound outputs

Question: Is there a way to assign an application to use a sound output options in the mixer or another Win7 application?
I have installed Win7 RC 32bit. I have headphones and speaker outputs on my system. Both are detected and both can be assigned to a working default sound choice. I am unable to assign an applications sound output to a certain outputs or change them.
The only way I can make a sound application work through the speakers if the headset is assigned the default role is to go into sound management, then assign the speakers to default and then restart my application.
Desired: I would like an application profile to default to the assigned role from the mixer. The settings could be permanent or temporary. If the 1st choice is not available, use the alternate working or (default). The sound should dynamically change or at the very least keep that profile with that application until changed.
In the mixer, I should be able to rt click on the application in the mixer and manually assign it to a sound device. This option should be assigned to a default target to play ONLY if the desired is not available. Possible options can be, just one time, or have this device handle sound if available.
Hardware: Asus Rampage 2: Gene motherboard, 6GB Ram, GTX 275 graphics, Seagate 1.5TB. Drivers auto discovered on install and appear to be functional.

Hi TKCDAC,
As you may noticed, great improvements have been made in Windows 7. Applications can realize Stream Routing via the new Core Audio APIs. Windows 7 has the ability to distinguish between communication devices and all other audio devices. It is now possible to have both a Default Communications Device that is separate from the Default Audio Device. The Default Communication Devices will be used for PC based communication like web chat or VOIP, and the Default Audio Device will be used for everything else. Stream switching enabled dynamic stream switching based on the default device. If the default audio device is disabled or unplugged, Windows automatically tries to determine the next default audio device and will dynamically redirect the audio to that new device.
For instance, if you would like to play the audio via headphone when using communication applications such as Windows Live Messenger, we can simply right click the volume icon in the system tray, click Playback Devices, right click the headphone listed and then choose Set as default Communications Device.
For more information, please refer to the following articles:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd756612(VS.85).aspx
http://louisgale.blogspot.com/2009/08/live-messenger-and-default.html
Also, based on my test, certain application such as Windows Media Player has a sound output option. To change the settings, please open Windows Media Player, click Tools, Options, click Devices tab, double click Speakers in the Devices list, pull down the Select the audio device and then choose the device you would like to play the music from Windows Media Player, click OK. We may play another song in the play list to take effect.
In the meantime, I will forward your suggestions to our Product Group. Please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements.
Thanks,

No Sound Output but Still Loaded

Hi guys, this is my first journey with Arch Linux and this introduction process has been fairly trouble-free with the exception of getting my sound system working.
Right now I'm running a Macbook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010) with two audio devices: 1) an Intel integrated card(labeled=MID) and 2) a Nvidia HDMI card(label=NVidia). Since I'm not using any HDMI outputs, I'm trying to get the Intel card to output sound but it seems like nothing I do is working. I've combed through both the wiki pages on ALSA and the Macbook#Sound configuration section but so far, it's a no-go. According to /dev/snd, the sound modules are indeed loaded. "speaker-test" has no problem running but there's no sound output. I've tried muting and playing around with volume levels in alsamixer. Right now, I'm guessing that I might have missed something with my .asoundrc? I'm not entirely sure.
Here's all the relevant information...forgive me if I missed anything.

If someone could lend a hand, I'd greatly appreciate. I know that it can get working since it was working out of the box flawlessly on an Archbang install but I wanted to do things the right way, The Arch Way, this time around.

Hi
I have a similar setup with AMD/ATI devices. Try to set the order of the soundcards (Alsa#Set_the_default_sound_card): Look up your "vid" and "pid" values with "lspci -nn" and change the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to:
# SB [HDA ATI SB]
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto vid=1002 pid=1308
# HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI]
options snd-hda-intel index=1 model=auto vid=1022 pid=780d
...or something like that. After that my soundcard worked but the sound quality was poor (no bass).
Hope this helps.

I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro running 10.9.1. The hdmi mini port no longer supports sound on the Sony TV. This is apparently a change. It no longer shows as an option in system preferences/sound.Any ideas?

The 2009's didn't support sound on HDMI. That came in 2010. Are you sure it ever worked?

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.
