If your Mac was made before Summer of 2009 or before there is no way to transmit audio through the HDMI port. You must connect it using the headphone jack to the tv aux input with an AUX cord. If your mac was made after you have to go into the sound settings and change your output sound to the HDMI cord.

After plugging in the cable to the Mac and the HDTV (both on), press and hold [option] or [alt] and click the volume icon on the menu bar on your mac. then select your HDTV as the output device.

I wasn't able to figure it out, though I have heard it is possible to get that working. I had an extra AUX cord lying around so I just plugged that into my headphone jack on my laptop and into the Audio outlet on the TV, and it worked perfectly.

...further investigation; If you have a Mac you simply hold the 'command' button down and click on the speaker icon at the top of your screen. This opens a dialogue box and allows you to select HDMI as your sound output...worked for me.

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

Go to System Preferences under the apple on the menu bar >then choose "Sound"> then click the "Output" tab>then select the output device (TV) you are connected to. This is the process I went through to get the mac to recognize my television. PS. Please try not to use all caps. It appears as though you are very frustrated at me.

First of all, I'm NOT sure that I have the answer for you, but here goes. Is your cable any good? How are the connections, either on the cable OR on the computer or the hard drive? Give Apple, or Western Digital a buzz. They're usually pretty helpful.

As far as I know older macbooks cannot send sound through the HDMI port. When I hooked my macbook pro up to the TV I had to also plug in a headphone jack. I'm not sure if this will work with only a TV as I have an AV receiver to route sound through. If you have an AV receiver that has optical audio capability, your macbook (pro?) can output optical audio, at a much better quality than analog, by using a mini toslink adapter. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback Ryan. In fact, i was able to solve this by using one simple piece of kit - a USB 2.0 to 3.5mm jack. It works flawlessly since the audio is now going through USB as opposed to the 3.5MM analog port on the MBP. BIRUGEAR USB 2.0 to 3.5mm Female Audio Stereo Microphone Adapter + Neck Strap Lanyard

Now, I'm very new to Mac so a lot of you Apple lovers probably know this already, but for Mac newbies (myself included), you need to go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose DISPLAY, APPEARANCE and click on MIRROR DISPLAY to get the video on your TV. And to get the sound from your Mac to your TV go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and choose SOUND, OUTPUT and click on BUILT-IN HDMI OUTPUT and that should do the trick. Hope that helps folks out there.

Initially had the same problem. Google enabeling audio on HDMI on MacBookAfter you enable audio it works great

Be carefuly, that cable is for sound only. Not working for proyetion or presentation.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

windows 7 in bootcamp has no sound out of HDMI. I bought this for my media center and have tried everything. So far Apple has not provided drivers for it, The sound works great in Apple Lion

You might have to get special drivers. What I would do is look online for the drivers for this mic, if the drivers are available for the mac you have than it is completely safe to use. If not than you would be taking a risk with the product.

The cable I bought did not work at all in any Mac I tested it with. It's not worth the money.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

Oh, sorry :) I don't know specifics about the apple adapter, but it seems like sometimes you have to go to the settings and actively select audio out from your speaker menu on the mac. I have an HP with a dock so it is a little more confusing, but I have heard of people needing to go to the audio menu and toggling it on. Get a cheap one from amazon and try mesing ith the settings. If you are still under warranty, it might also help to talk to a genius. They might have some ideas that don't involve the iTV. I think straming from your mac would be faster.
