I have hooked up my Macbook to my TV and the picture is nice and clear, but there is no sound coming through the television. What do I need to do?

if you have a mac go to 1. System Preferences 2.sound 3. then output and your TV name should be on the list. mine says "Samsing" 4. select and enjoy the sound :)

Same thing happened to me. Go to YouTube and search that question. You will find answer . I did it but forget what I did

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.

If I understand HDMI correctly, you need to set the source unit to HDMI. I had the same problem with my denon DVD player on my BRAVIA, then I switched the source to HDMI. This might be different for mac/pc ... the apple knowledge base is definately helpful.

I have mine connected to HDMI only for display though. Have not tried sound. I have connected to one Mac Mini for office displays. I will warn you some of the adjustments ie screen orientation can only be change via LG software. It is only available for PC and does not work.

Hi there... I'm not an expert in the subject, but I think you can fix it by going to "System Preferences" and after clicking "Sound" choosing HDMI in output, so it goes through the TV and not through the computer's speakers. Hope this helps!!!

You would need an Apple TV and Airplay or similar device connected to the TV to connect a Mac to your TV ( I have a Mac mini and Apple TV connected this way). This device does not output an HDMI signal.

...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.

Assuming you are using a MAC. You don't need an additional cable, just change the Output in System Preferences/Sound settings. I use the cable without any issues on a Macbook Air plugged into my home theater as well as directly into my Samsung flat screen. Of course the output depends on what you are connected to such as the TV or Apple TV etc

If you don't have a Mac, I'm not sure this adapter works. Make sure the proper input is selected on the TV and the connectors are pushed in all the way. Also, try connecting the adapter with the computer turned off. !f that's the way you did it, try connecting with the computer turned on. We need more detail (model of computer, model of TV,etc.) for more detailed advice.

Check you system preferences or TV setting. It's probaly one of those. Also you won't get sound through the TV unless you change your sound preference

I selected this device according to the types of connectors available on the analogue TV and my PC. I do not know what connectors the MacBook Pro has. I use the video output from the device that uses a yellow RCA type cable to connect it to the analogue TV. I then use a L/R (red/white) cable to connect the device to the analogue TV to get the sound. On the PC side for connections, the PC has a VGA output port that connects to the device. I use a separate cable to connect the headphone connector to the device to get the sound to the TV. Hope this helps

Will this work on early 2008 Macbook? Since I want it to connect to my HDTV which has a digital optical audio out.

It depends on what you Mac has for outputs of it has an hdmi you can connect them that way if it just has the digital monitor out you will need a monitor cable and a VGA adapter that goes on the end of the monitor cable and thin plugs into the back of the tv

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

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.

Turn the video settings on your Mac to 1080i and ensure the cable is pressed all the way in on the HDMI port. See my review of the product for additional information.

Can you get sound from the Tv from the connected computer? Some laptop models didn't have the sound capability built into the mini dvi ports. I know my (early 09) MacBook only pushes picture through, while my girlfriend's(10-11?) MacBook pushes sound and picture.. Go to your system preferences, and click sound. If there's an option to play through HDMI, then you can do it, otherwise, you can't.Check the settings on your computer, and on your tv. Some TV's won't push sound from certain ports to another without having 'external speakers' on and some other options checked first

You need to change your sound output to the brand of your TV/stereo when you open the Preferences of the your MBP. Change the sound output setting after the hdmi cable was plugged in. System Prefs -> Sound -> Output.You can also check it out in Apple website.
