To play music from my macbook air to a sound bar (with hdmi connectivity), would this cable suffice? do I need an mini-dp adapter too?

I cannot answer the question directly. What I can say is that I had a display port adapter that I plugged the hdmi cable into in order to connect to my TV. This cord alone suffices for that purpose. It requires no additional adapters. If display port adapter plus hdmi works, then this should work. All I know is that this cord alone makes audio and video work on tv.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

Yes, I have ours fed into two Sharp 70" led panels and the HDMI audio feed works through both panels with no issues at all. The room has its own audio so we don't run the sound on the panels, but the option is there and works. Did you get all the way into the sound settings on your mini? I'm not a Mac whiz, so I don't know exactly which steps you take, but there was more than one until we saw the HDMI choice. Actually the Mac is a dual boot to win7pro and it works on that operating system too. I can't stress how happy I was when I got my hands on the accell adapters, passive adapters just plain screwed me around in circles!

I have a Macbook Air and use the Apple adapter to HDMI, and wish to connect to a Infocus IN102 DLP projector through the RGB/Component video socket. Sound is not an issue as I use a separate speaker system. Will the AmazomBasics HDMI to DVI cable work?Thanks,Bulldog1803

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.

As long as your buy the appropriate adapter cable from whatever connection your MacBook uses to either HDMI/DVI, there's no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly fine.

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

Given that HDMI is an industry standard, and IF the MAC has an output option for audio and video via HDMI, then yes, it should work perfectly. There is no reason that is should not work; the audio and video components will be separated, with the audio going out via the stereo RCA connectors (red and white), and the video continuing on through the subsequent HDMI cable. You need two HDMI cables.

It depends on the computer, I am a PC guy and don't know a lot about Macs. I would check manual and see if it supports audio inline. If so, no extra cables will be necessary!

This amplifier plugs "in-line" between any output and your earphones. It should work fine with a MacBook Air.

I'm actually not sure which is which with the display ports but I have a macbook pro and it works. I've actually found that to get the sound to work, you'd have to change the settings on your computer for the sound to come through the adaptor (to the tv) rather than the speakers on your computer. Hope this helps.

With my experience it works for both audio and video but I highly recommend that you buy the Blue Rigger Mini Display Port to HDMI. I bought it after the Belkin one stopped working after about maybe 2-3 months. I highly, highly recommend Blue Rigger, it will last a lot longer and its cheaper. I posted a link below for you to check it out.BlueRigger Premium Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Male to Female Adaptor Cable (15cm) - MacBook Pro/Air - with HD Audio

I have not tried that and I am not a mac person, but In theory you should be able to plug any HDMI source into it. Whether it be a macbook or dvd player should make no difference. Sorry I'm not more help..

The easiest way is to run a RCA Y-cable out of the headphone jack. That's what I do from my iPod. Otherwise for better sound you'd need to feed the macbook into a DAC and then connect that to the amp.

The mini display output on a mac does not convey audio. you have to either use bluetooth or the headphone jack for that.

Yes - you will just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable. If it is a recent MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port is the same size as a Mini-Displayport connector and is backwards compatible. When connected via DisplayPort, if you set your sound output on the MacBook Air to the monitor and set the Monitor sound input to DisplayPort then the DisplayPort cable will carry both the video and audio over the single cable. You would then just need to connect a USB cable from the MacBook Air to the monitor if you want to use the USB Hub. Note, however, that since this monitor is not a Thunderbolt monitor, you will not have Thunderbolt capabilities (such as daisy-chaining thunderbolt devices) - don't think you were looking to do that anyway, but something to be aware of if you were looking for that functionality.
