I connected well with my Macbook Pro and Sony TV and got good video, but the sound NOT out from the TV. Can you help?

You could always try plugging the other end in. Otherwise just make sure in your sound settings you don't have "internal speakers" selected. You want the sound output going through the HDMI cord. Hope that helps.

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

I have the same problem. I can only hear the audio over the Apple TV but not the video. If I had it to do over again I would buy a Roku. Apple the signal a lot.

I've got sound and picture simultaneously. Might be an issue with the unit you received. Good luck

I'm not sure on your tv but I just picked up a Samsung Combo HDTV/Monitor and had nasty issues getting the picture right until I stumbled across an easter egg in their setup. My Mac Mini is connected via a DVI -> HDMI cable to my Samsung. The colors were way off and it was obvious that the signal was not digital going to the monitor until I labeled my HDMI input "PC". That fixed the colors. Setting the option for "Overscan" fixed the resolution. Now I get a picture that looks as good as the DVI -> DVI input from my laptop.-- Chris

I connect the device to my notebook whit a hdmi cable, but the sound is reproduced by the X-12 speaker, the sounds is good but is very low, and the sound can not be amplified or at least I not discovered how to do it.

I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro and it required going into the preferences and editing the video and sound outputs. But before doingvthe above, make sure you push the HDMI cable all the way into the port by pushing the wire connecting to the HDMI doggle in. Please refer to my review. I hope this helps.

You cannot have both audio and visual with the aforementioned hardware, my friend. The best you can do is plug speakers into your macbook's audio port. That's what I does. I hope my answer helped. Also, be sure to minimize your plugging in and out of ports with this cord. Mine broke in a month.

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

If your MacBook was made prior to mid 2010, it doesn't pass audio thru hdmi. You will have to use audio cables in addition to the hdmi cable.

I answered not sure if the answer came thru... any I have a 6300 Samsung w/ sound bar and Mac mini i have an audio out adapter w/ Red and White line so I use the cable that came with the Soundbar. All three are plugged into the back of the unit and only the red/white in the adapter then into the Line Out so Mode is set on Line N THE TV IS SET ON TV speaker. Should be able to find audio out cable. I got mine at Sears (BN39-01154G) try radio shack or amazon. Speaker works great for iTunes or the Smart TV. Good luck.

go into the sound options on your computer (which you can access in your control panel) then set your sound default as HDMI, might fix your problem.

I have my computer output connected to a surround system instead of directly into the television. Make sure that you have the audio on your computer turned on and the connection to "audio out" and not "microphone". If connected properly, you should not be able to hear the laptop audio. It should be directed thru the converter and combined into the HDMI connection at the set. There should be no audio coming from the computer speakers if properly connected.

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.

@bkumarTry restarting the computer. Also try shutting down all programs that use sound like any internet browsers, YouTube, Netflix, Pandora, iTunes, anything that creates sound. Then go into the playback devices and select the computer speakers first and save your selection. Then go right back in and switch back to HDMI. Then test the sound again.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Easternsupport@mediabridgeproducts.com
