Using an HDMI cable to connect to a monitor from Macbook Pro, but no sound

I just purchased a HP2159 HD monitor, and hooked it up to my macbook pro via an HDMI cable, but there is no sound. Can anyone help me?

What do you mean by "properly setup?" There is no setup. Just plug it in.

  • I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.

    I will be using a HDMI cable to connect an Apple TV box and a Comcast cable TV box to my TV. My TV has only one HDMI port.
    To do this I will need a 2x1 HDMI splitter or a 2x1 HDMI auto switch (preferred).
    ?Is there any Apple TV HDMI port voltage?
    When using a HDMI auto switch to connect two devices to a HDMI TV, the
    Auto switch cable box only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.
    Do you know of any other solutions? Componets? Actual expierances?

    Cable : HDMI switches expand the number of available HDMI ports on a high definition television allowing connection of cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and game consoles. A side benefit is that cable clutter is also eliminated by running a single HDMI cable to your HDTV from a switch and relocating the HDMI ports to a concealed location. The problem with most HDMI switches is that you have to either get up to push a button, or hunt for the remote control, to switch sources. The true mark of any great switching component is an ability to perform its function and remain transparent in its operation. This automatic HDMI switch is a plug-and-play away from offering everything you are looking for in an HDMI switch. Select a single output from up to three devices for signal delivery to your HDTV. Smart operation provides complete control for connect-and-forget operation. Powering on a device gives it output priority over the other devices. By powering down the device in use, output priority is returned to the last powered on device. Note: Auto switch function only works for components that do not output continuous voltage over HDMI port when turned off.

    Thanks for any help. Sincerely,

    Hi Erico,
    I tried what you said again but without success. I even updated the driver so that that audio driver is the same as the graphics driver i.e.. NVIDIA but this has not helped either:
    Do you have any other ideas?
    Many many thanks,

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • HT3964 connected new external monitor to macbook pro, was working but now have no power, black screen in laptop. monitor purchased with advice from tech and set up also. Worked fine for an hour and then quit

    Have just connected a viewsonic external monitor to macbook pro 10.6.8, had everything up and running fine for about an hour then the macbook quit. No power (ws running off power source) Have I killed my macbook? Help!

    Aha, all is good.
    I went to Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
    and to home/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays
    and deleted all SyncMaster.icc files. I did leave behind one SyncMaster file in the home/../Displays which had an old date and I new was ok.
    Rebooted, plugged in SyncMaster, and a new icc file was automatically created in the /Library/../Displays folder.
    My display works normally, now.

  • What audio cable do I need to hook from macbook pro to an amp?

    Yeah, just wondering if any audio cable will work to hook from Macbook Pro (10..5.8) to an amp?  Not skilled in this area at all!  thanks!

    It would help to know what inputs your amp has, what outputs your computer has, and what you are trying to accomplish.

  • I used an HDMI cable to connect my MacBook Pro and my TV, however, my computer won't recognize that my TV is connected. What do I need to do to be able to watch a movie from my Mac on my TV screen?

    My Macbook doesn't have an HDMI port, so I bought a converter. So I now I have my HDMI connected to my Mac and my TV. The problem is, I can't figure out how to make my computer screen show up on my TV. Do I need to download different software or update something? Or is it as easy as changing a setting?
    When I go to my display settings, my computer screen shows up as an option, but my TV does not. I don't think my computer is reading it is connected. Please help me.
    I will openly admit that I don't know very much about computers, so if you can help me, please break your explaination down for me. This is the info for my Mac:
    I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch,
    Mid 2010 OS X
    Version 10.9.3
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB

    I am assuming that you are using a Mini Display to HDMI converter and then a HDMI cable.
    Have you opened System Preferences>Displays and selected Detect Displays?
    Ciao.

  • Tv won't recognize hdmi from macbook pro, but will from ipad

    I have a new Toshiba TV (40L5200U) that will recognize HDMI input from an IPad, but not from a MacBook Pro (running 10.6.8).  I'm connecting through a Rocketfish Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (RF-AP305), but the TV says "no video signal."  Display Preferences shows 1024x768, which the TV user guide lists as an acceptable input (XGA), but when I detect displays the computer doesn't recognize the TV.  I can't see an Arrangements tab.  The computer does give output through this port to a VGA adapter for a projector.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    It is vital to push the Mini DisplayPort adapter into the Mac socket until essentially ALL of the metal is inside the socket.
    Use About This Mac > ( More Info ) > Displays to examine the NAME of the display attached. Until you get the make&model popping up there, you have not made a solid connection.
    "Supported resolutions" for many displays are not supported in the same way on each of the available ports. 1024x768 mat be an excellent VGA resolution that does not work at all across HDMI. Be certain [√] Mirroring is turned OFF to allow the displays to be set independently.

  • Connecting an External monitor to Macbook pro.

    I have a macbook pro I want to connect it to an external monitor which has HDMI how do I do this is there a thunderbolt cable that can connect to HDMI

    What Macbook Pro do you have? Does it have an HDMI port? Does it have a minidisplay port? If it has an HDMI port get an HDMI cable. If it has a Mini display port get a mini display port to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable.
    Does ypour monitor have other than an HDMI port such as a DVI port?

  • Connecting Dell u2715h Monitor to Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013

    I recently purchased the Dell UltraSharp 27 Monitor U2715H to work as a second monitor with my Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013).
    What connection cables do I need to make this work most effectively?

    Hi,
    I bought the same monitor. I will receive it next week, but i read some blogs about the best alternatives for getting the 2560x1440 and my first option will be connecting my macbook pro retina 13' using the thunderbolt (mini-display port) to the mini-display port available in the monitor.
    I'm planning using this cable:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD862ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-cable-05-m
    A mini-reference about the mini-display port (It was useful for me):
    Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    This is what I'm planning to do. Note that I don't know if it works! I think so, but I don't know. I will tell you if it works next week.
    If you have a mini-display port to display port cable it should work too.
    Regards,
    Carlos.

  • Connect two external monitors to Macbook Pro (non-retina, 13", mid 2012)

    I've connected one external monitor to a Macbook Pro (non-retina, 13", mid 2012) using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    Can I connect a second external monitor using a USB to DVI or USB to HDMI adapter? Will the Macbook Pro recognize a monitor connected to the USB port?

    Something like this -> http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011404&p_id=6191&se q=1&format=2 - from MonoPrice may work.

  • Connecting external audio monitors to MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to set up a home studio. I'm about to purchase two Rokit Powered 8 studio monitors by KRK, which connect via an XLR or a 1/4" RCA cable. How can I connect these monitors to my 15" MacBook Pro?

    You need a stereo cable with 2 1/4" RCA plug on one end and the mini plug that you need for the MBP on the other end. They do make these.

    Urgent help needed to connect my iPad to internet.I do not have wifi but have a 3G USB card to access internet from my Macbook Pro.I need to connect my iPad to internet to download stuff.Can someone tell me how to use the Mac's internet sharing to connect the iPad? I tried a few methods listed online but it did not work.I am using Mountain Lion.

    Using internet sharing I was able to share the connection & my iPad recognizes it & connects to it. I even see the check mark on the left of the connection name with an i button on the right.However safari is unable to connect to the internet on my iPad. Do I need to do something else like a username password? The http proxy is set to off on the iPad.
