Stream audio from macbook pro to tv

I'm using a MacBook Pro 8.2 and want to stream video to à Sony Bravia TV. I've connected them with à cable from the Thunderbolt port to the HDMI port on the TV. I get the video images but no sound. Is there à way to do this or do I need à separate audio cable?

There is great risk of confusion since I am seeing the words in Swedish and it is sometimes difficult to tell what the translation should be, but here goes:
In the System Report there is only one topic with the word sound: "Sound (built-in)"
Under that topic it says "Intel HD Sound" and I can choose a nummer of options, but only one for "Speakers" and it says "Connection: internal"
There is also an option for "HDMI/DisplayPort" which says "Connection: screen" (or monitor)

Stream sound from Macbook Pro to another device?

So my headphone jack just half-died on me. I get full sound from the right ear, but the left one has little to no sound coming through. I've had headphone jack issues in the past with my macbook pro and they said I needed to replace the entire motherboard last time which was extremely expensive. My warranty has run out so doing that again would not be feasible, yet I really need the headphone jack to be working since much of my work is video/audio intensive. Is there any way I could stream audio to another device like my phone or something via bluetooth and plug headphones into that to get full sound in both ears? Or is there a fix to this issue that I don't know about? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can stream audio via airtunes to an Airport express which has an analogue ouput jack, but it's line level and doesn't have a volume control, but you can use it as the source for a hifi. You can get third party powered speakers which receive airtunes. You can stream audio and video to an Apple TV but it only has an optical Tosslink audio out and audio and video out via hdmi.
You can also get sound out via USB to a an offboard D/A converter which in most cases would be line-level, though you could likely find asomething with a headphone output with a volume control.
If you look up the specs on your machine you might also find you have digital audio out via tosslink and the headphone jack which is misbehaving as the ports are combined on some models. Then there is the mini display port which can in some cases output both sound and audio and you can get a long display port to hdmi cable a lot cheaper than an ATV.
But, while the headphone jack replacement involves a motherboard swap, in reality, what might have happened is that a solder joint for the socket on the motherbord has failed and simply resoldering the joint would fix the issue. If the internals of the socket like a contact breaking or being damaged is the problem then the MB would likely need replacing given the cost of labour for a tech to source and replace the whole socket.

How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?

MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?

I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.

Stream dvd from macbook pro late 2013 to tv

Can I stream a dvd from my macbook pro using usb superdrive to tv? I have a thunderbolt to usb connector. What else do i need?

Hello janet159,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you are describing. If you are able to play a DVD on your MacBook Pro using the external SuperDrive, you most likely should be able to play it on your TV by connecting your MacBook Pro to your TV via HDMI, as noted in this article:
Note: DVD Player does not support playback using AirPlay Mirroring. If you want to watch your DVD on an HDTV, connect your Mac to your TV using an HDMI cable or a video adapter.

Streaming Netflix from Macbook Pro to TV

Hello,
I would like to stream movies from Netflix on the Macbook Pro to my TV. I bought a Moshi Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter and plugged into the laptop. I then removed the HDMI cable from my DVD player and plugged it into the adapter. I followed the directions in the set up guide to go to "Sound" in System Preferences to change output to "Built in HDMI Output", but nothing appears and I can't stream on to my tv. Any ideas how to stream or what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
lsb

This may be a bit off your topic... I cannot get Netflix to stream any video. I have installed Silverlight and for some reason it keeps telling me to install it. Did you have any trouble with the installation of Silverlight? I have also purchased the cable, but I am still stuck on getting it installed...

Cannot play audio from macbook pro 2009 to tv using hdmi with adapter

MacBook Pro 2009. I cannot get audio from my my macbook pro to tv using an hdmi adapter

That is because the 2009 MBP does not support audio via the minidisplay port. You will have to tap the audio output port for audio and use the RCA audio input connections on the TV.
Ciao.

Hi, I have an Airport Express. But with both my computer (imac and MacBook Pro) if I try playing music from itunes, it cannot connect. An Airplay pop up window opens and trying connection to airport for ever...
On the other hand, it works when streaming music from iphones or ipads.

Can anyone help please

I am afraid it still does not work.
Now, when I select the Airport, it tries connecting for a long time "connecting to "Airport Name"...but never connects.

How to stream content from Macbook Pro to Samsung SmartTV

How can I view photos from iPhoto on my Macbook Pro on my Samsung SmartTV? Samsung offers software only for PCs.

If you have satellite/cable TV and your box has an ethernet port and you have a DVR it's also possible to stream content from your Mac to a tv.

How do i xfer audio from macbook pro to ipad via usb

I have some audio loaded onto my MacBook Pro and my wife would like them on her iPad. I have read the iPad user guide, but the menus it discusses do not appear on my iTunes. I have loaded the compatible version of iTunes to my MacBook.

Nice try. Really. Thanks.
I have version 11.0.1 (12)
The only button in the upper right corner is the iTunes store button.
I looked at the link you furnished, and saw the iPad button to which you refer.
The copy of the 11.0.1 I have does not show the iPad button.
I then selected show sidebar, no help either.
It shows library, store, genius, and playlists.
No iPad.
The real issue is that I was able to transfer some songs to the iPad a week or so ago. I thought that I had merely forgotten how.
When I first tried to transfer that time I received the message that I needed to download a more recent version of iTunes. I did that, and, voila, I was able to transfer the songs. I just don't remember how. Obviously something has changed since then and I can't imagine what it is.
Thanks for the effort. Do you have any other suggestions? I am willing to listen.

Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

New to the community here, thanks for your patience. I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
Thanks so much.
Dan

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Stream Audio From iPhone 3GS To MacBook Pro

Is it possible to stream audio from an iPhone 3GS (playing in the iPod app) to a MacBook Pro over Bluetooth, so that the music plays through the MacBook's internal speakers?
Obviously you could just connect the headphone socket of the iPhone 3GS to the line in socket of the MacBook Pro, but doing it over Bluetooth would be much tidier.

There is a way with WiFi, but you need to "Modify" your iPhone to do it.

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.
