Is anyone able to play audio via the HDMI TV using this adapter? My Seiki UHD TV does not show up as one of my audio output choices on my Mac Mini.

I recently purchased a Samsung HD Smart tv (120hz native) television. Connected my computer video card's mini Display port to the adapter and then connected a high quality HDMI cable to the television's HDMI input. I set my computer to mirror the computer's monitor to the television. I have my video card HDMI connected to my Onkyo Receiver which is then connected to my HD Computer monitor. When I mirror my computer to the television set, I hear audio through my Onkyo Receiver rather than the speaker's from the tv set. I am able to see Blu-ray movies and DVD movies perfectly and sound like I am in a movie theater with my Onkyo Receiver. By the way, My computer has windows 8.1.1 on it.

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!

No. The audio output option does not show up on a Macbook Pro. I tried multiple HDMI cables (including a high-speed cable) and every configuration possible, both mini displayports and the built-in HDMI. I tried all available screen resolutions in each port and none of them allowed the audio device to show up.

NOTE: This does not work with Late 2012 Mac Mini. Didn't realize this until I bought it and tried. I think the compatibility info has now been updated. See website: http://www.cablematters.com/pc-428-79-gold-plated-premium-hdmi-to-vga-mf-active-adapter.aspx

I've been having trouble with my adapter. I have a sharp 52" hdtv and I plug my phone and it will show on the screen but the video will then go black and come back then go black again. Right before the tv goes black it states there was an incompatible audio signal... Anyone help plz

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.

In fact I ordered 3 of them and am suposed to hook them up to 3 mac minis but when I tried to do that I had the same problem. The solution is to use HDMI cord. It is supposed to be for videos but that will work. I am travelling and still have not hooked up mine. Best of luck

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.

Hello Indo, There are customers who use our adapter with Mac products. However, we do not offer tech support for Mac users with this product. There is a site where you can download the Mac driver. http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=502 Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

Since it's HDMI to VGA, the VGA would not support audio by default.The HDMI does not interfere with the audio out on my MacMini.

You might have issues there. I'm getting Audio through my other ports as I have had both a PS3 and Wii U hooked up to the unit as well as a Computer from time to time. I've never had any trouble getting Audio through the HDMI. Do you have good cables? If you haven't swapped the cable from your other device, there are plenty of OLDER HDMI cables out there that don't have the audio pathway. HDMI carrying Audio is a slightly newer piece of technology. And also, the device you take the Audio from also has to support passing it over HDMI as well. Older DVD players that can't take firmware updates may not account for this. The PS3 in its infancy didn't do this in the beginning for instance, and I had the audio through an extra optical cable. They updated the firmware to fit the new standard so one nice cable for everything. Hope that helps. Good luck,

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.

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..

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.

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.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.
