i have a mac mid 2009 would this work for audio? i already have an hdmi cable and found out it only transfers video and NOT audio.

It would if whatever you're trying to transfer sound to has RCA inputs. Sucks that pre 2010 macs have that issue. This thread has some clarification http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=792106

Yes it will. Your setting will have to be changed so your display is either "duplicated" on the external screen or "extended" - whichever you prefer. The issue with MacBooks though is that before about 2010, the HDMI port does not transfer sound in addition to video through the cable - you would have to connect an audio in cable from your computer's headphone jack to the television digital audio in as well. Research some Apple forums on the specifics for your model.

This one is for the Mac before 2010 (so of course I bought the wrong one, but at least I got to keep the HDMI)-- so I don't know how those work BUT for the models AFTER 2010, you connect it and you just set up the audio and have the TV adjust. If you youtube video it, there are like less than 2-3 mins videos to help you out.

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!

You don't need to buy any cables for the Mac, the transmitter plugs into any of the USB ports.For the TV you need an HDMI cable to link it to the receiver.Yes it transmits audio and video over HDMI

If it's a newer Mac mini with an HDMI hookup then yes. Although there are no speakers in this monitor so only the image transfers. Other than the HDMI is has a VGA hookup, so if you get an adapter that converts your current slot, I believe it's DVI, to VGA then it will work that way as well.

I know it works with PCs. I have used on several. Not sure it would work on a Mac, but I see no reason it would not. Do remember that as the source is display port, there will be no sound out put on the display.

no this has HDMI on one side and VGA/Audio on the other. it is more for your tv, not your macbook.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

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.

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.

I dont know. I didnt work (audio) with my early-2009 iMac. Maybe a newer model but once again, I am not really sure.

i previously said: if you have a mini-display port, i think it would work. we have two macs in our household (mid 08 and mid 10) and they both work. but i don't know what i was thinking... the mid 08 mac has a special adaptor and a separate wire for the audio so this cord doesn't work on it. but if you have a mini display port you should be fine. sorry for the confusion!

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes. This is exactly what I do with my set up. Old mac mini (dvi+optical audio) to Monoprice box. Then Monoprice hdmi out to the TV and optical (or analog) audio out to the stereo. Note that it is unlikely that the HDMI audio and the optical or analog audio will be in sync (depending on the devices they connect to).

I have no problem with audio when using mine. But then again I don't have an iMac. If your iMac has the proper port then I'm sure you will have no issues with audio. You may need to select "sounds & devices" (or whatever it may be called on yours, and switch your audio output to HDMI which is what I had to do at first. Some computer models won't recognize the adapter as a default audio output device, so you will have to manually change it.

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.
